Weekly snapshot 1.0.123.10 is available for download
-
Yeah, it's fixed internally already, but didn't make it into this snapshot.
-
My bugs :
- Spatial Nav : the blue border doesn't dissapear when I clic anywhere on the page.
- Open in a new window in Speed Dial open the link twice in the new window
- Mouse gesture in speed dial doesn't work
- There seems to be no hover effect when trying to create a tab stack. It's pretty weird, I don't know if I'll create a stack or move the tab.
- Is there a way to separate a stack by grabbing a sub tab ?
- SpatNav : I don't know if it's normal, but on that page http://www.cqoicebordel.net/travel-time-metro-d3/ I can't activate any subway station. Doesn't enter or space should generate a click event ?
- You have to click three time in the url bar to select part of the URL. Shouldn't a long click activate text selection, or a single click activate the cursor, and double select all the url ?
- F4 seems to activate the spatnav randomly (not on links, or on links on another tab)
- When a tab preview open, there is a button to close it, but we can't attain it because if we move the mouse to the preview, the preview dissapear (bottom tab bar)
- URL box for the search engines in prefs is very very very small. Also, no choice between POST/GET ?
- In a twitter profile page, if we click on blank space around the middle column, the larger column seems highlighted.
- A ctrl+tab window is needed to know where we'll land next.
- Also in twitter, keyboard shortcut 4 or 3 don't work, they activate spatnav
- The only shortcut I changed was putting dev tools behind F12. It doesn't work, but dev tools open when I press F, 1 or 2.
- There is a space between the menu bar and the top of the screen, that means it's harder to attein thoses buttons.
- Spatnav or mouse gesture don't work on the pref window.
And what I miss the most to be able to use it more :
- Mouse gesture to open a new tab
- RMB+scroll to switch tab (but I guess, we need that window previously mentionned first)
Kubuntu 14.10 32b.

It looks really nice! Can't wait until everything is implemented and working as it should. Well, everything is of course relative, there can always be more featured added! For now, there are just some simple things needed to be able to use this as a daily browser.
Also, the Spatial Navigation you mentioned specifically in this blog, is working not as I would expect. If I open a page, then scroll down using either keyboard or mouse, and then use SHIFT+arrow, the spacial blue borders always start from the top of the page and therefore the page scrolls back up. This also happens the other way around (move the blue box halfway down the page, scroll up with mouse or keybord, move blue box again - it then continues from where you left it down, and not what you are actualy looking at)

D'oh, it still has the crash bug I reported via the bug submission form, a couple versions back. If I'm on Vivaldi on OS X and I open the element inspector (Right click anywhere, choose "Inspect element"), then press ⌘-c (to copy) it crashes. Does this not crash Vivaldi for any OS X user? (Feel free to try it and report back – I'm curious if it affects all OS X cases. At least one other forum user so far has confirmed seeing it, too.)
-
Vivaldi is vulnerable to the FREAK flaw on OS X
Just a little heads up! -
Every week a step closer to the full build! Loving it so far! Here we go:
-Although i love Tab Preview, I think the time between hovering the mouse over the tab and the preview showing up is too small. Sometimes I only wish to close the tab or open another one on the background and the preview pops up. It's annoying. You should make the time for the preview to pop up longer or customizable.
-Again with Youtube videos not being rendered past 360p. Only happens to Vivaldi.
-Tab preview doesn't show anything until that tab has been opened. Even so only shows part of the page, with the bottom half being blank.
Currently using the 64 bits version - Windows 7. Keep up the good work! The UI response is faster, loading pages has become less sluggish, and now I'll try out all other sites I usually visit. Loving the work so far!
-
We need a proper Extension Support. What we have now can be considered clandestine, not to mention some extensions don't work.
-
So far, it appears I'm still getting a duplicate icon in the taskbar when I open Vivaldi (32-bit stand-alone on Win7-64 SP1). The good news is that at least now I can download files successfully from within Vivaldi - sort of. But not within a limited user account - there, it starts the download into the account's download folder, but at the end of the download, the file stub simply disappears leaving an empty folder and no complete file anywhere on the system. On a positive note, however, in the admin account, downloading is successful into the admin account's download folder, starting with the download stub file and remaining as the complete file there when downloading ends - so in an admin account, at least, downloading is working properly now here.
-
So…am I crazy (read: unable to properly install software), or does the vivaldi:about page still say this snapshot is 1.0.118.2 (on Linux x64)?
-
bug: If you use any bookmark folders from the panel that is listed above "speed dial" folder as "use as speed dial" the folder gets automatically renamed to "speed dial". You see the renamed folder above the speed dials
-
This update fixes the tab previews which show in the right position for those that use vertical tabs but it introduced a new bug.
In the previous version I could un-check Use Tab Tooltips and it disabled the tab previews. Now it actually just enables tooltips + preview.
Maybe it was a bug in the previous release but I want to disable tab previews for my vertical tabs. Just think 1 minute. If you have vertical tabs right now in Vivaldi you already see each the tab in full, I don't want a preview each time I hoover over, its annoying in this case and it servers no purpose. Please enable the feature back to disable tab previews.
-
Thank you for removing the dashed lines on the highlight bookmark or folder and for fixing folder opening. Still eager to see the line height reduced so we can see more bookmarks/folders in the tree without scrolling.
-
Great work! Vivaldi is much faster and more stable, Page preview is correct by bottom placed tabs, and Vivaldi doesn't crash by clicking of padnum '+' button. More and more is usable! :lol:
-
There's a little hope that Vivaldi is support the speed dial extensions in the future?
-
FWIW: I don't like the new spatnav animation either. It's a bit too distracting and additionally when keeping shift+arrow pressed, it simply lags behind your actual focus. Now it's only usable when you very carefully hit shift+arrow one at a time, with some time between keypresses. Form over function.
The focus indication as it was in the previous build was fine: both clear enough (opposed to other browsers' default focus indication which is often hardly noticeable when you don't press your nose at the screen) and aesthetically pleasing. The algorithm still needs a lot of work though. -
Thanks for the build… here I go (again !) :
I'm one of the few who is alwasys nagging about the UI Performance every week... I'm using multiple systems with different hardware every day and I can tell that the UI Performance of Vivaldi is in a poor condition...
***** opening a new tab (Ctrl + T) is slower than ChrOpera on a high end system and a LOT slower on a low end system. what bothers me is that the performance difference between ChrOpera and Vivaldi on the slower systems are far from each other… on a low-end system ChrOpera still performs well while Vivaldi ends up reacting very slow.
***** Clicking on a tab has a slow reaction. this happens when clicking on the "Plus" button to create a new tab : the plus button itself reacts fast but then you will FEEL the slow reaction when it takes some time to either create a new tab or load a tab.
***** Frankly in this build the UI is even performing slower than before… I can tell because I've installed multiple versions of vivaldi on multiple systems and the previous version works and reacts faster than the new build...
I should tell you that the problems I mentioned above happen on low-end systems and a high-end system has fewer slowdowns (but the UI is still slow even on them) and what bothers me is that ChrOpera still reacts faster and smoother in comparison to Vivaldi on both types of systems...
I know... These are "Tech Preview" and "Snapshots"... but I can remember that even ChrOpera 15 had a faster UI than the current Vivaldi.
Please don't consider this as a destructive comment... I want Vivaldi to shine more than any other browser but Performance-related issues must be tackled from the very start or they will become the bottleneck later...
and Personally, I Feel that a "ReactJS" based UI is not a really good choice when compared to a Native UI... but as I don't have more information about the Vivaldi UIs architecture, I shut up for now !
Thanks !

VB-3923: C++ <-> Javascript communication channel for Vivaldi UI
possible this is part of solution

It's been a long time since I've been excited enough about a web browser to install a weekly build. So far I'm enjoying it.
Obviously it still has plenty of growing to do before it can replace Opera 12, but I really am excited about Vivaldi, and it's potential to be something more than just another Firefox/Google Chrome clone (which is sadly what Opera became after we lost Jon).
Thank you for all of the hard work, and I look forward to your next snapshot.

I am using constantly the so called 'rocker gestures' (back/forward navigation via right > left mouse click and vice versa) in Opera and although they were not announced in Vivaldi - tried to see if/how they work here. It looks that there is no explicit definition of their behavior - for some sites left>right buttons work for me as 'back' (instead the opposite), then right>left works either as 'forward' or not working at all. Do you intend to make the mouse clicks usable or we should try to live with the gestures only?
PS. And also to report a bug that has been fixed in previous build: if you are on the current blog page 2 > then press 'Reload' button > the result is '404 - Not Found. This is not the page you're looking for…'.

If you want my feedback here there are my thoughts on Vivaldi
give it a look and if reading it you think "this user is asking for feature X" don't reply at all because you didn't understand what I wrote in that message.
