Snapshot 1.0.288.3 - Geolocation support
-
I just realize the problem 3 above occurs when I move the position of tabs in the tab bar.
In addition:
4. The ability to change the fonts (though it's possible to do so with extension).
5. Closing tabs will always switch to last used tab, which is inconsistent if I've chosen "cycle in tab order" under in tab cycling. They should behave the same.
6. Not a bug, but if "Use theme page color" is activated, the extension buttons on the toolbar are just a little bit ugly (no offense). -
I guess default zoom will work fine for you. It is tracked.
-
You should be able to change fonts without an extension, by going to the URL vivaldi://chrome/settings/fonts/ , but it would be nice to see all of the normal chrome settings integrated into the main vivaldi menu.

When will be there binaries for Salix OS v14.1 or Manjaro Linux ?
-
Linux Fedora 22, with KDE.
Strange though, it's kind of random here, I managed to hide it starting from scratch with a new profile.
What I did to reproduce it was :- start from a brand new profile
- open settings, and select option 'open settings in a new tab'
- uncheck the option for '+' in settings, it was uneffective afterwards.
It's really no big deal

All I wanted was to reply AND quote.
Step 1. Click reply;
Step 2. Click on the speech bubble button on the bottom of the text box;
Step 3. Copy and Paste the desired text between the quote marks;
Step 4. Yay. -
I noticed that when I download a file there is not a warning indicating that it is finished.

It's worth distinguishing types of tracking, though. If you're already blocking third-party cookies (Vivaldi Settings > Privacy), you're blocking one of the easier ways advertisers have to track. (It's the common means of how you can browse listings for underwear on one site and then have ads for boxers, briefs, or more exotic underoo types appearing in banner ads on other sites for the rest of the week, giving a bit of a Minority Report feel – you know, those eyescan-triggered ads in the film. Not really malicious, but kinda creepy.) 3rd party cookies are ones that the browser recognizes as not belonging to the page your visiting (although there have been various ways some companies have been able to get around some 3rd-party cookie restrictions, sometimes for arguably legitimate reasons -- e.g. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4701922/how-does-facebook-set-cross-domain-cookies-for-iframes-on-canvas-pages -- at least until browsers started considering those as 3rd-party contexts, and new ways needed to be used).
There are other ways sites can share data with each other, though, so a large extent it just comes down to how much you trust a site you're visiting not to share data you give it. There are things one can do, like browse some less trusted sites on a no-cookie-allowing browser, behind a trusted proxy, etc. It depends on how paranoid you want to get.
Realistically, at least for the moment, most people don't have that much to worry about, if they take ordinary precautions. If you live in a repressive country, that's a different matter; although that's not as much about websites themselves taking part in tracking you; it's about people in the middle trying to snoop on unencrypted HTTP traffic, logging requested destinations, using compromised certificates to do Man-in-the-Middle attacks, etc. (Such issues aren't entirely limited to a country's own populace; there have also been a couple of cases cases of countries suspiciously redirecting significant amounts of foreign traffic through their own routers through longstanding weaknesses in the way Internet traffic is routed, although most route leakage issues are probably accidental. Today a bunch of CloudFlare-using websites had their traffic routed through Qatar, for example, but it caused complete blockage on those sites instead of being transparent, so it was almost surely accidental.) Some people in certain countries like to use VPNs to tunnel to past snooping or censoring in their own countries, It's a complicated subject, and one I'm not an expert on.
Where was I going with this... oh yeah: Generally, I would suggest not freaking out: If you're not a spy, dissident, or criminal, you're unlikely to be specifically targeted by anyone -- that is, "tracked" in any truly scary sense. Just follow general "safe enough" web practices: give sensitive info only to trusted sites that use TLS (https://...) with valid certificates, etc. If you are a spy, dissident, or criminal, you'd likely already know a lot more relevant practices than me.
By the way, what I said about IP address -- that generally just gives a website an idea of your city or thereabouts, if that puts your mind at ease at all. So you don't need to freak out if you see an ad saying "Meet local singles in [whatever your city/county is] today!" It's a cheap trick.

In Settings, you can set the Downloads Panel to open automatically. As far as I can tell the panel opens on starting the download, rather than on completing it, which might be more useful.
-
That options is on, but "something" (for example: flashing icon) when the download finishes would be ideal.

For some reason I cannot use an uppercase K when naming Speeddial Folders. :?:
-
From the Changelog at top of page:
VB-9512 Can not enter capital letter K anywhere in the UI: Temporarily removing mail shortcut; But this fix will only work for new profiles. Old profiles would need to remove the shortcut manually. A further fix is needed
-
Thank you, I didn't see that.
-
I stand corrected - I have gotten an email notification for the ticket (said copy with ticket number).
So, it's a pleasure to apologize for what's been a (fatal) user error in the 1st place. :oops: :oops: :oops:
All is fine.

Hey

Thank you! I've seen other people mention this problem in snapshots a while back. Back then, it happened even when using the keyboard shortcut and not just when using the trackpad gesture I described above. The bug disappeared for a while, but is back now with the gesture-only twist.
