Working and not working extensions
-
But how can you guys start to test extensions when even basic things are not working yet?
Personally the browser is not usable yet for daily browsing at all. So why would someone even bother with installing his favorites extensions. In particular when they can be gone in the next snapshot.

.I - personally - do not test, but use extensions. Some excellent new features overrides the risk of the daily usage with the deficiencies. (But this preview is enough stable to use as default browser, although has some vacancies):)

The purpose is not to test extensions but to report which work so others don't need to lose their times testing. I, for example, can't use a Chromium browsers without modern scroll.

For my purposes it is good enough to test (use) if only I can copy-without-formatting (extension I installed) and if one of my primary research sites doesn't crash the browser (which it does). So by installing this one extension, I can still use the browser about half the day. If I can use it, I can test it. If it can't be used for my work, then I don't have time to fart around in it just for giggles. For me, "test" means "use."
So by all means, if you're uncomfortable testing extensions, don't do so. Those of us willing to go thru the gymnastics of figuring out how to get an extension installed are probably ready for whatever the result might be. We also know how to uninstall them.

The usability probably depends on the nature of a user's "daily browsing". I've been using Vivaldi exclusively over the weekend for browsing that isn't as demanding as some of my weekday usage, and have been greatly impressed by the smoothness and speed. Even though I rely heavily on a bookmarks bar, I've been able to replicate much of that (for now) by putting them in a right-side panel. The only trip-ups I run into is the need to double-click them to select and the ability to only show about 1/2 to 1/3 of the links I normally put on a bookmarks bar - but the scrolling is good enough to lessen that annoyance. Certainly, a lot of smaller creature comforts I'm used to in Old Opera or even in a highly-customized Firefox install aren't present here yet… but Vivaldi's extremely promising, especially at this stage of the roll-out game.
I do know that if NoScript was available and working for Vivaldi, I'd slap it into these snapshots in a heartbeat.

I've done that and squeezed the panel down as narrow as it will go. All of my normal bookmarks bar shortcuts are visible, and I only have to scroll if I open a folder.
The panel is too fat by far, to really replace a bar - and the behavior is not truly bar-like. But it will do for now.

I'm glad to say that AdGuard extension works well via contextual menu in the brand new version of Vivaldi, I try it and extension works well, If you need the file.zip go to adguard forum and dowload it, install it like another.zip extensions and it will work.

i managed to get the dolphin connect extension to download, but to actually use it you need to click on the icon. there's no (visible) area to click the extension icons. maybe in the next snapshot you guys could make visible an extension bar for those that need to click the icon to activate the options.

If I can see right, Vivaldi can install natively Chrome extensions without any emulation!

Works fine for me:
Chromium Wheel Smooth Scroller
igTranslator: Google Translator
Magic Actions for YouTube
Select like a Boss -
ChromeIPass seems to work, unfortunately KeePassHTTP does not

Enhanced Steam
GCVote
are working for me (also µBlock, which was mentioned above) -
What UserAgent use Vivaldi? I can see, that where sites require "Chrome-compatible" browser, there Vivaldi seems to be "compatible", too. (E.g.: WebKincstár) On these sites Opera (even with UserAgent extension as Chrome on Windows) Opera is incompatible, and is denied.
As I can see, Stacounter recognizes correctly as Vivaldi 1.0.

Tried both, Adblock and Adguard and for me Adguard is working better and with Adguard there is the context menu option to manually block.
I installed it through the Chrome Store. It's working perfect.Download: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/adguard-adblocker/bgnkhhnnamicmpeenaelnjfhikgbkllg

Favicon changer programs install just fine, but they don't do anything. They apparently can't find any bookmarks in Vivaldi's file structure.
-
Vivaldi identifies itself as Chrome-compatible totally! Moreover it can install Chrome APPS as Vivaldi Apps! :woohoo:
-
I've just tried using Google Chrome Web Store, and I'm surprised that every single extension that I've installed in Vivaldi is working perfectly.
