Snapshot 1.0.231.3 - Draggable tab bar, favicons in the address bar and spatial navigation improvements
-
Amazing update. This is very quickly becoming my favorite browser to use. Sleek, functional, robust, and powerful. Everything I've ever wanted. Even though the extensions are in very limited support right now, the ones I use work just fine.
-
Vivaldi keep getting better and better and still is just an Alpha.
Counting the days. -
It's called Otter. I figured anyone who was interested in "heirs to Opera" would already know about it. And since it's nowhere near ready for prime time, I didn't want anyone mistaking that I was promoting it. I just was struck by the phrase "draggable tab bar" because, in the universe of browsers, there actually is such a thing.
-
Thank you for the dragable tab bar and for allowing middle click in the bookmark side panel when the scrollbar is present! Two on my biggest issues fixed, woo! Now if the last big issue could be fix as well, would be nice.
–--------------------------
Problem #1 : Opening multiple bookmarks(20+) at the same time cause the browser to lock up for a while, until all tabs are loaded up. This isn't an issue in Chrome, firefox and even IE. (While this has improve tremendously recently, it's still bad)
–--------------------------
Suggestion #1 : Put in an option to "hide" the speed dial folder from the Side panel bookmarks. It's redundant to have the speed dial folder there.
–--------------------------
Suggestion #2 : Allow the ability to set a custom static amount for each Rows and Columns for the speed dial. (like 4x6 or 5x4, etc..) And have it stay that way, always, no matter the size of the Vivaldi window, instead of the current Dynamic format where 6x3 rows and columns in fullscreen suddenly becomes 3x6 when placing Vivaldi on the side of the screen (windows Snap feature).
Basically make the speed dial resize itself smaller to bigger depending on the main window's size. -
Suggestion #1 really doesn't make any sense, if you think about it. ANY folder can be the speed dial folder, and you can display the contents of any folder INCLUDING the main bookmarks folder (as in my case) in Speed Dial. The way I do it, My main bookmarks folder is NAMED "Speed Dial" (though it could be named anything) and it is the same folder I display in speed dial, and it is the same folder I display on my bookmarks bar. I have identical access to top-level bookmarks, to folders and to subfolders, at least the ones I care about and use all the time, no matter where I look. There is a small folder I imported from IE which is outside the "Speed Dial" folder and which only appears in the side panel or bookmark manager, but it could just as easily be the other way around. It literally makes no sense to hide bookmarks from one view just because they can also be seen in another, irrespective of what the names of the views or folders are.
This is not redundancy. It is complete flexibility, and the next logical progression of the "views" technology from Old Opera, applying it to bookmarks in the way it was formerly applied to mail. There is only one copy of anything, so you avoid directory and data bloat, and duplicated files, but you can access anything from a theoretically infinite number of different "views."
IF "Speed Dial" were a folder with special properties that could only be seen on the start page and nowhere else, and which stored its contents in it own directory on the hard drive, what you suggest would not be out of line. This is not the case, however.
-
Problem #1 : To avoid waiting for anything, use open in background tab.
Suggestion #1 : I agree with Ayespy
Suggestion #2 :. Fixed layout would be much better. The accessibility of speed dial relies on dials always being in the same place relative to each other. -
Very often Vivaldi started without previously opened tabs
-
And the wording is that complicated because it also works if the tab bar is placed at the bottom. If you can come up with something easier, be our guest.
Christoph, but having this space when tabs are placed at the bottom does not make any sense..! It is only a totally unnecessary waste of space. So this option should be always on and not changable for tabs at the bottom (the same as it is for tabs on left and right).
This will also simplify the name to "Remove the space above tab bar" or similar. -
Thank you for the new snapshot!
The Update Available prompt for Vivaldi x64 worked fine for me; downloaded and installed as usual.
SpeedDial item stacking doesn't work any more. I'm not sure why that happened before but it was more visually disturbing than a serious bug.
For some reason, I can't drag and drop any SpeedDial item into a SpeedDial subfolder. For example: I keep the current Snapshot page on SpeedDial, then drag and drop it into a Vivaldi subfolder to keep it handy but make room on the SpeedDial page for the new Snapshot.
Old news: The Bookmark editor still fights back when you try to enter text and the Notes do not display text correctly except in Edit mode.

The Logjam Attack
Warning! Your web browser is vulnerable to Logjam and can be tricked into using weak encryption. You should update your browser.(New?) Bug in the Bookmark side panel
Select a Bookmark (about halfway down the panel list is best).
Click the little pencil icon to edit the Bookmark.
The Bookmark properties are displayed over the lower half of the Bookmark list so you can add or remove text.The bug: Click the little pencil/edit icon to close the edit mode and the Bookmark property info disappears along with the list of Bookmarks that were below the selected Bookmark.
They're not really gone, just toggle the sidebar closed/open and the full list of Bookmarks reappears.
Thank you again and keep up the good work!

(*) Last Session?
Yes
On win 7 x64 I have frequently crash on startup. On linux - no, but sometime tabs not loaded…
How I can send backtrace when he crashed?
-
There is an option in Settings to make pinned tabs closeable. Is it what you are looking for or something is still missing here for you?
-
Hi
im in windows 10 and i have annoying tittle bar! any plane to get rid of that? -
When the add mail/rss client?
-
RuarÃ, glad to see you with Vivaldi. At the same time, I'm puzzled by the continuing contradiction between allowing users set a home page but not allowing them to automatically open to that page. I don't if it's technically a violation of internet standards, but in all the browsers I've used over the past 20 years or so, I've never seen such a stubborn refusal (or failure) to fix such standard, basic thing.
-
Settings -> Startup -> Startup with * Homepage?
-
Not sure what you're talking about here. Not seeing anything like it on Win10.
-
WIR.
-
This is probably true. Thanks for pointing this out.
-
And when this option will work correctly without having to maximize a window?

Non-appearing 'x's on tabs seem a lot more frequent in this build.
I thought that it was 100% reproducible as I was typing this, 'cos as I moved the mouse from this input box to the tabs (on the right) the first tab I hovered wouldn't show an x. As I waved the mouse over another tab, that one did show the tab and as I went back to the first tab, it too showed an x. So, click in this box, type, hover, no 'x', 100% reproducible.
But as I continued to type this explanation, the bug vanished.
