TP3 is here!

Good to know this is only the beginning (please, not as in the new Opera in which these words never began real)
However I've a big request: in the home page you claim:
Customize Everything
We are all unique and we want different things. Vivaldi adapts to you, not the other way around.
Well…. this is not true... I want to customize everything and actually I can't... I can't move buttons where I want to put them, nor hiding some of them or creating new ones with my custom actions (chain of commands and so on) .... nor I can editing the menu and all items in it
So I think actually the right claim is: "Customize Something"

In the early days of Opera, we used some fairly limited computers to work on. It was all we could afford. And it worked. So in principle I agree with the intent. I also had a very slow network at home on purpose, to test that as well. Sadly it seems that code has grown faster than the computers and to be able to work on the code and get it compiled inside a day or two, one needs a fast computer.
However, we test on quite limited computers and on quite limited networks. We know about the bottlenecks and we are working on fixing them. Personally I have a bunch of slow computers at home to test with running different OS and we purchased a lot of old computers for the team to test with as well.
We will get Vivaldi to run faster on slow systems as well. We are working on it as we speak. It just takes a bit of time.
Cheers,

This is the goal, not the status quo! Keep in mind you're looking at a TP…

Great to see Vivaldi developing so well in such a short space of time. Just to let you know that all your hard work and effort is very much appreciated.
Cheers.

Fantastic! Thank you for bringing new hope and perspective to the browser market. I became increasingly frustrated and disappointed with Opera, so now, almost 20 years after I first joined you and the company, "we" are back again. Great news, indeed!
-
in my netbook speed to start this browser is not faster than PC.. and loading of setting page too, the same, it is slowly, sorry, but you shouldn´t have the idea that vivaldi is faster because sometime it is a wrong think. there is an universe of situations, and equipment,….PCs, netbooks, notebooks, tablets. olders, newers, vivaldi should be not heavy... sorry my english

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks. Happy to be here.
Clearly we will be providing a very flexible UI and a UI that does not require programming to change it. We are on the way. Keyboard shortcuts are getting better and better. We have mouse gestures, but they are not so easy to edit yet. With regards to adding and removing buttons, the work there is just not done yet. We are doing this one step at a time. We could have waited until we had all this work done, but we know that most of you would prefer to see what we are up to and for a number of people Vivaldi is already in a shape to be their default browser. It clearly is for me.
Lazy tabs is on the list as well. Anything we can do to make the browser faster in use.
Cheers,

Bug report:
UI dpi scaling still doesn't work properly (on Win7 150% dpi setting)
Haven't found any info on this issue. If known just disregardAgain, thank you for your vigour making a great browser. Opera presto had a huge fanbase amongst us people with visual impairment and I'm hoping to promote Vivaldi as the goto browser as soon as a stable build is out.

Hi Vivaldi Team, thanks for this great browser and the new hope for a new great internet suite! I'm really impressed by the speed you are developing the browser and still listening to your users.
One question:
When you say next milestone will be beta, do you expect it to come with the mail client integrated or would you release Vivaldi even when mail isn't finished? -
Don't put too much effort into doing this stuff. This most probably won't work in final version anymore.
-
It sometimes seizes to work, but AFAIK we haven't been able to pin down its cause yet.
-
Anything in specific?
We e.g. know about issues of resizing UI elements… -
Mail will be in. Don't worry.
-
Great to hear.
So it'll be time to say Good Bye!
When Mail is in and it works well enough I'm changing from Opera 12.16 to Vivaldi as my Main Browser.
Thanx Guys! -
Just wanted to say great job everyone! The improvement from TP2 to TP3 is amazing, performance has noticeably improved (running in a single core vm, its noticeable)…this is good enough to become a main browser for me now. Looking forward to the Beta.

Still encountering resizing issues on Mac with Vivaldi pages (eg. extension settings, 'About' page, 'Clear browsing data' page, Note screenshots, etc.) being too small and needs to be refreshed to scale/resize correctly. Not sure why it's happening though. Using a rMBP 13".

me too, In Win7x64 PC I have Yandex but It is not listed in import file, in the win7x32 netbook it is OK, and in the 2 cases I used to get Opera12 but it was deleted but it is listed yet…
-
Yeah, this is known. Happens on Windows, too. It's caused by HiDPI screens…
