Snapshot 1.0.201.2 Improvements to Search Engine Management, Spatial Navigation, Gray look and the foundations for customisable mouse gestures
-
2nd and 5th problems can be solved already by editing files.
-
I realy enjoy the fast forward and backward feature, the spatial navigation, and tab stacking. Some suggestion:
- exiting the "Search in page" via keyboard is still not working
- tab tiles are nice but I'd prefer to drag and drop tabs out of the window to create a new instance of Vivaldi window for better multi display support
-
Does not work if Tab Stacking enabled.
-
Well, it works only if Opera installed in Program Files.

I really like Vivaldi. Before it temporarily I used Chromium. (And long before that Opera from version 7 to 12)
I don't know how Vivaldi manages it, but it uses considerably less RAM, than Chromium. I'm not a maniac regarding free RAM. Free RAM is wasted RAM, memory is there to use it. However Chromium just eats the whole thing and even more (resulting in heavy swapping) Even so that I've got 8GB of RAM. Now with Vivaldi I can use my computer normally.I used to be quite heavy regarding customization with Opera (skins, custom toolbars, usercss, userjs, etc), I hope that eventually Vivaldi will get these features too.
At the moment the only things that I'd like are things that would make my work (web development) easier and less painful. Firstly there are some things wrong with the DevTools: ctrl+shift+I always opens the latest tab, and not the active one. (Right click/inspect element works well). Also arrow keys don't fully work in the javascript console, for eg. you can't navigate in command history.
Another thing that I'm sure eventually will come, and I'm waiting for, is the extension button toolbar.
Thanks!

About 5th I know, seen somewhere.
About 2nd i dont… how I can do it? can you give me some links to read? -
They can't do everything at once. It will be fixed. This is technical preview. If you can't stand that - just switch back to whatever else you've used before.

I have swap disabled, 16 GB of ram is enough. Or should be. I use two browsers on Chromium (Opera & Vivaldi) right know, and together they eat up almost all of my memory, Windows is often telling me to close something to keep system stable because of that. That's horrible.
Having the same amount of tabs in Opera 12 uses 600MB - 1,5GB of RAM.
Chromium had single process mode - it probably could be solution to RAM eating (I don't need separate processes anyway - if something wants to crash whole browser - it will do it anyway) - but they ditched that feature. It's still available to run it as single process, but neither Opera nor Vivaldi (and probably Chrome too) loads pages then
If Vivaldi team could bring back single process mode - then it'd be awesome.

Wow, nice to see you here, Ruari! Vivaldi gets more promising every day.
-
New update wohoo \o/ - I've discovered a bug though, whenever i try to clear the address bar, the link appears again, infinitely. I can cmd+A to clear it and type in a new address, but any other way makes the current address come back again. Look at the gif below for demonstration: http://gfycat.com/SlightIncompatibleGraysquirrel
I'm on OSX 10.10.3

Hesitated a bit today when I saw I wrote "returning", which might be legally wrong, but it does feel like that: I'm reading the blog of my Favorite-Highly-Customizable-Browser (which happens to have another name than previously) and you were "away" from it and now "returned" :!:
-
I love this idea. Turned it into a feature request internally.
-
@Piter432:
Yeah, I know, but many of them fired yourself many months ago before Opera released their beta browser on Blink engine, and Ruari joined this month and worked still for Opera for about 2 years after first Opera beta on Blink engine was released. That's why I was suspicious
Well I also worked for Opera when the first Chropera version was released. So he is not alone in that
-
It's not a security risk. The only risk is that some external program will install a search engine for you, which is annoying, but you can remove them again of course.
That "other browser" simply chose to sacrifice editing of search engines altogether in order to prevent third-party programs to add one. -
This should already be fixed. The build you installed manually as admin now does come with a fixed installer.
Shout if it doesn't work with next week's build! -
on our list.
-
Yes, we know about this bug.
-
It's on our list, but I don't know how soon it's going to be in.
-
Yes, that's true. I requested support for other locations some weeks ago, but we didn't get to it yet.
