Snapshot 1.0.118.2 now available

A lot of mine disappeared, too. There seems to be a bug…
-
Confirmed.

Have you tried Vivaldi? I was skeptic about using blink as well? But Vivaldi is already much better than Chrome. Vivaldi has been my default browser since the first tech preview (replacing Chrome, used Opera for years).
I use it on and off almost from the first preview and I compare it with classic Opera (Presto). Not impressive. It's slower, than original Chrome, but way far from Presto-based Opera in terms of functionality. I don't think, it's a reasonable price. Blocking was pretty useful for many overloaded by ads sites, but I don't think it could be possible under Chromium engine. In 2003 or 2004 somebody asked me how many tabs in my Opera. I counted and was surprised - there were more, than 400 tabs in 4 windows (under FreeBSD 4.7, as I remember). That is the power of Presto-based Opera. It's extreme, of course, but it shows the potential. What is potential for Blink? And what can you expect for loaded by additional functions Blink-browser? Go figure…
I respect people, who work under Vivaldi, but I am pretty skeptical about the project under Blink engine. It's just another "shell", nice make up, not breakthrough...

I reported it internally.

Great. I just told you that I reported it - and this comment is gone, too… :roll:

I'm trying hard to let you know that I reported this internally, but my comments ironically disappear again and again… :roll:

Great reply, I definitely agree on the memory consumption with a great amount of tabs. Used to keep many tabs open in my browser. Unfortunately for my line of work I was unable to keep using Opera 12. Using blink would not mean the Vivaldi team cannot optimise or handle some content differently.
I feel it would still be possible to load plugins on demand, or keep a previous page state (filled in forms) when making additions to blink.

I've tested the 64-bit version of the latest build with Win 8.1 x64 and I can't complain about anything. Vivaldi runs great without any problems for me; great job guys!:)
If I am to suggest one minor addition: The current bookmark bars offers the possibility to display bookmarks either as text-only or with favicon+text. It would be really great (and I think easy to implement) if there was an option for favicon only.
Keep up the great work!:D

Can't post data to frame on page. Previous snapshots do it just well. Linux, rpm, x64.
-
As I understand, they keep Presto engine only while all product not rewrited to new platform.
Did you try offer support it (bug fixes) on this period and rent/buy after?
After year of work with Blink I doubt about such rotate, but just interesting
-
I am not expert in Chromium engine, but this is fresh enough program + open source = not bad code => relatively not hard possible rewrite any part of its logic => it take some time, but good programmers can optimize it for many tabs. Plus guys from Vivaldi optimistic enough about it. May be not 400 tabs, but at least 200. I think you need give them chance
In any case, what choice do we have? -
I don't know how new the following are, but I love:
- that I can now use Chrome extensions directly from the store (LastPass, Evernote, Adblock are working fine)
How do you gain access to adblock's configuration? E.g., for unblocking a site?
-
probably (i dont use adblock) via vivaldi://chrome/extensions

Yes. This is necessary.

Happens with me as well, sometimes. Even though I refresh and confirm my Reply is there, the reply is gone when I return later on.
-
Chromium has its limits to what can be implemented or not, but most of the functions/features that have been removed from Opera to ChrOpera are perfectly capable of being added. Seriously, if they wanted, they could have!
-
Unfortunately, you don't. We'll have to wait until Vivaldi properly adds Extension support - and possible for AdBlock to make a Vivaldi version!
-
On Snapshot 1.0.118.2 Vivaldi can install extensions directly from the Chrome Web Store, which means:
-
Adblock
-
Popup block
-
Smooth scrolling
whatever you can think of
