Vivaldi launches its first beta
-
None whatsoever.
-
"View Page Info"
…doesn't seem to do anything any more..?
-
Right.
Nothing short of a fully functional mail client will do for me this time.At minimum it must support all mail protocols (Yes, POP3 too), the offline mail database must be fast and secure, import and export of the most common standard mail archives must be supported - and this time support of encryption and digital signatures must be in.
If anything of that is missing, it makes no sense for me to use it instead of the dedicated (and paid for) mail client I use now.
-
Works for me if I go to the tools > extensions page and activate them there. Same OS and browser version.
-
Are the features of the beta coming to the snapshots? I see they're different repositories (on Linux)
-
Are you talking about changing the tab cycling order from recently used to tabs in order (which you can change) or something else?
-
I still have unsharp fonts in the interface (and not too sharp on some websites like this one) with a fresh vivaldi profile. Latest Version, 1.0.303.52 (Beta) dev (64-Bit)
-
They're different repositories, but they're not. If you are running the snapshot line, it will update everything, including TPs and Betas (at least for now). If you are running the TP or Beta line, it will only update Betas. No Beta changes will be backported to any existing snapshot, but will be incorporated in all future Betas and where practical, in future snapshots built on the next version of the Chromium engine.
-
No longer able to override security and view https sites w/o a proper cert. This is essential for testing sites and services. Please bring back the ability to manually override and view insecure websites over https!
-
Also still looking for a setting to turn off the password manager directly in the UI!
-
Professional in appearance, dependable in execution, customizeable, colorful without being cartoonish. This may be the first Internet browser for adults. Kudos.
-
It does here.
-
Best browser since Opera 12, kudos for the team! I may finally switch over from Opera 12.
Two things that are annoying:
-
ctrl + mouse wheel for zooming doesn't work
-
user profile cannot be simply copied from one computer to another, all passwords and extensions are lost and I don't feel like setting it from the scratch every time I use Vivaldi on another machine
-
-
Site Infor also stopped working for me in the snapshot builds, but it works in this Beta.
Try a clean installation. I use a Standalone USB install of 32-bit Vivaldi on Windows 7 64-bit
-
Hmm, I'm using 64 bit.
-
zoom is ctrl+shift+scroll right now. Passwords can never be copied from one machine to another. Sync would be necessary, which Vivaldi doesn't have ready just yet.
-
Yes, it is capable of scrolling absurdly slowly. Not sure how much re-writing of Chromium code would be necessary to equal that snail's pace.
-
Why the non-standard zoom key? Ctrl-mousewheel is common in lots of apps. Also, shift-mousewheel doesn't sideways-scroll like it does in Chrome, and I can't even sideways-scroll with the scrollwheel with the mouse cursor over the scrollbar like in Opera 12.
-
These are my two biggest complaints actually:
1. It auto-raises itself whenever it gets focus.
2. The color-matching thing at the top makes it hard to tell the chrome from the client area. This makes me have to think unnecessarily hard if I see a search box or options menu at the top of a page, and I have to figure out what it pertains to. It's also a potential security disaster. The division should be obvious. It's not obvious in a lot of browsers. You made it worse. I do like the tab taking on the color, though, and I would like it better if the inactive tabs also took on the color; it would make them easy to find.Now what I like:
1. The UI zoom setting is nice. My screen resolution is relatively low and too many applications are just too big. Now I can make it just perfect.
2. The Page Actions thing looks like it has the potential to be very useful. When I first played around with it all the settings seemed completely useless and stupid, but when I read some forum posts about what it did, it seems it will allow me to force custom style-sheets on badly-laid-out sites.Now here's some ideas I'd like to see:
1. I'd like a back button to appear on the tabs to the left of the X when I mouse over them, if applicable, because I usually open links in new tabs, then close the tabs when I'm done reading them, but once in a while I open a link in the same tab, then end up closing it and having to reopen it to go back; it would be easier if I were reminded of that.
2. I want a setting of JavaScript enabled on https pages and disabled on http pages.
3. Per-page quick preferences for JavaScript, cookies, and third-party content.
(Not per site; just things that apply to the current session.) I liked Opera's quick preferences but didn't like that fact that it affected everything from then on.I won't list this as a complaint because I'm going to assume it's something you just haven't gotten done yet, but: I do hope you will support RSS feeds?

A bug I hadn't noticed before:
The Mouse Gesture (GestureUp, GestureRight) to reopen closed tab, reopens Settings dialogue.
