Snapshot 1.0.340.7 - Silent Tabs For Users, Netflix support and HTML5 notifications

Ayespy

Wasn't that fixed? What version number are you using? (I personally have never experienced what you're getting, but I could have sworn this was in the changelog a couple of versions ago…)

That is Bulbus Stercum and you know it. Everyone who sees that acronym will understand the meaning differently, which is obviously the intention. It is puerile and unprofessional.

Not fixed yet, eg. Hangouts through Gmail : when I'm using backspace in chat windows, sometimes Vivaldi will take me back. Running latest snapshot (1.0.340.7) on ArchLinux

Bulbus stercum :D. Not knowing much Latin I had to look it up. I'm out. Peace.

Do you see any patterns on how to reproduce? I tried Hangout and could not reproduce easily there

guiluge

I'll try to investigate further and provide you a protocol that triggers the issue.

Okay, I'm able to reproduce the issue with this pattern (this may require multiple tries):

open a new tab, and select gmail inbox (using address bar and history search)
click on any hangout conversation visible : the chat window will popup, and text cursor should be set and ready for inputs (you won't need to gain focus on this window)
type some text
delete it with backspace -> when the bug occurs, you'll go back in page history. If not, just close the tab, and restart at step 1

If you need further information, I'm running Vivaldi under Plasma 5.4.3 (ArchLinux)

Hope this helps

As I also use my browser as PDF reader I have a request for an upcoming update: commented PDFs just show where the comments are but you can't actually read them.
Windows 10, 64bit

Thank you, Vivaldi team!

Any tips how to get H.264/MP4 working (again) on Linux after Chromium (47) update?

@Pesala:

Using foul language even as an acronym is unprofessional.
Just refer to it is a MUTE TAB feature like any civilised people would.

You must be fun at parties!

It has something to do with new Chromium version.. maybe Ruarí Ødegaard can lead us to right direction is he sees it…

A Former User

Same with every plugin It's great security/privacy measures also. Especially for those poor people, who have to use java somewhere because of banks etc.

From the beginning of Vivaldi this issue is the only thing I was really afraid of :
"What if the non-Native UI Elements are going to be the Bottleneck to Performance ?!"

and I'm still waiting for some optimizations to prove me wrong on the account of UI Performance… still waiting...

This is not a party. It's a blog for a professional software product that needs to gain widespread public acceptance, not only for script kiddies.

Seriously mate, you should be more humble.

Of course there are many bugs, there are many bugs in Chrome too. Just look at the problems when it comes to battery/memory/resources with Chrome. And Chrome is owned by Google, who has pretty much unlimited resources to spare… Vivaldi team is small and they are doing a favour for humanity by trying to compete, hehe. It's not easy, if it was, everyone would make their own browser.

Pesala

You need to use a proper PDF Plugin, not just the Chrome PDF reader. Enable plugins in Tools, Plugins. Install the Adobe Reader, Foxit, or PDF-XChange plugin for Vivaldi if it's not there. Mine seem to have disappeared in recent updates.

thank you very much for your great work!
the actual version runs quite fast and snappy and without crashes (about 1hour) so far. My machine is an old system with an Core2Duo an 4 Gb ram with a cheap nvidia graphic-solution. Ii've got actually 10 tabs open, my system load is about 3%-15% running with ubuntu - at least as long as I don't scroll around the pages - so whoever has problems with some i5 or i7 - sorry for that - maybe your issues got something to do with some anti-virus-software or anything like that.

@mammamia; videos in ubuntu are working just fine with ruraio's instructions (see changelog)

STFU –- Very nice! Thank you!

Now that we have this functionality, I would like to have an option that sets the default mode of new tabs to "mute". This little feature would be a great addition to me.

Why? Because I have to keep my system audio output always muted precisely because of the unintended sounds the browser makes. This is sometimes annoying: Sometimes there are important sounds I want to hear, like some alerts; sometimes I play music on iTunes and to do so I turn up the volume and then some news websites makes sounds on the browser.

Regards,

shnick

I'd prefer an option like 'click to load and play' - no video, no sound is even loaded without click - to save bandwidth for others in my house. Otherwise some 'mute by default' is better than the actual situation.

Thanks a lot for the STFU feature!

An improvement proposition, though:

At least on Windows 10, the "a sound is playing" icon appears at the right of the tab, exactly where the "cross to close" appears when we hover the tab with the mouse.

–> As a result, when you want to quickly mute a tab, you move your cursor to the little speaker icon, but when you have reached it, it moves to the left of the cursor and the cross to close the tab appears instead.

The current behaviour is OK when the "close" button is on the left of the tab (ie: mac / linux ?), but on Windows I think it will lead to some misclick, and some unexpected tab closure.

This sound icon shouldn't move when I hover the tab, maybe you could re-think its position so it does not overlap the "close" button at the right of the tab?
