Vivaldi launches its first beta

"We will continues"
"We will continues"
"We will continues"

This will appear in my nightmares…

YES! Finally the first Beta! Keep it up guys! Now I wanna see those performance improvements!

1. Is your computer time correctly set? If not, fix it, that should solve the issue (if you're on Windows you can sync the time with a time server).
2. Have an antivirus? Try to deactivate it for a while.

Tried it, unistalled it and reinstalled Vivaldi_TP4.1.0.219.50

This version do no detect most of my plugin's. Java, Flash, Silverlight, VLC and more, all gone. Lots of pages working in last version now do not work. Using now an "old" Vivaldi (and happy with it except for missing mails and many forever empty pictures in speed-dial and some other details) I am close to state on my Opera browser 12.17.

Xmarks does not work either. It loads but when clicking "sign in" nothing happens. I read somewhere on this blog that this is caused by Vivaldi not supporting some form of extension-spawned popup windows. So, sadly, "full extension support" is not exactly correct

Obscure but probably worth mentioning: under KDE4, when the alt+tab switcher is set to large icons, Vivaldi's icon shows up small there, as 48px icon instead of 128px (actually Chrome does this too).

Thanks Botchius. Time and antivirus is ok. I get same warning in FF, when try to download Beta build 52. I think I see the certificate is just misconfig.

Wondering if others get that warning also or if a tech can confirm its just the certificate config and it ok to download?

Would be great to have the ability to manually sort extension buttons like in Chrome or Firefox. Keep up the great work and make Opera shiver

The address bar doesn't always get focus on opening new tab, but I cannot pin down in what conditions this happens. It does happen somewhat frequently though. (under both Unity and KDE4)

That is because Chromium is dropping support for NPAPI plugins (and rightfully so!), so you'll need to find PPAPI alternatives. You can get PPAPI flash from here: https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/ just select your Operating System and "FP 19 for Opera and Chromium - PPAPI". Please do note that i haven't personally tried it but i assume it should work. As for Java, Silverlight and VLC - i don't believe they offer PPAPI versions so unfortunately they'll not be usable before (or rather, if) they make the switch.

Congratulations, guys! Thank you for the great work you have been doing.

never mind ..hmmm issue is mysteriously gone in both V and FF

Dragonfly needs support from the core, or better: it needs the scope protocol support: http://scope.bitbucket.org/scope/ Chromium does not have that.

Congratulations! My first impression is that it feels super fast - especially when I've installed Disconnect and I don't get bogged down by heavy-loading advertisements on web pages. Good job.

If I had two feature requests right now, it would be:

Allow me to disable the password manager. I have my own.
~~Allow me to see / clear browsing history.~~ (Update: I just found that bit.) Ideally I'd like to have my browsing history auto-magically disappear and delete itself after just a few days.

AFAICS the extension violates a Content Security Policy for script execution. The extension probably needs to ask for the necessary permissions to work.

Gunning for native support is still better though.

Good work on the updates, guys and gals. Looking good. Feeling fast.

Two things;

Would like to disable password manager. I have my own.
Would like to automatically set browser history to delete after X days.

Xypher

Grats guys! Keep up the great work! We're finally at the stage where the focus is on squashing those darn bugs! I still can't believe I tried every single snapshot since day 1! Time sure flies! Very excited for future beta snapshots!

Good job, I can't wait for a Mail in Vivaldi :)!

I agree. Featurewise, there is nothing wrong with Devtools.
But Dragonfly is a lot more intuitive. Also way faster (but had less live changes in DOM inspector as far as I remember).

I had to adapt myself to use Devtools. And at times still have to.
With Dragonfly, it pretty much all made sense from the get-go.

I don't expect Vivaldi to re-create Dragonfly in the near future. There is way more important tings to get going first. But it would be nice addition at some point.

Yes, the only issue that stops me using V as a daily driver.
