Snapshot 1.0.344.5 - Set font sizes and encoding

What I meant was it's native UI feature, as opposed to using only native UI. There is the setting in Vivaldi to use native UI, but the look of that can't be changed that quickly?
You'll notice the setting says "Use Native Window." What that does is put a window frame from the system around the Vivaldi window. That's all it does. It doesn't change the fact that the Vivaldi window is still made from HTML, REACT, CSS, etc. In the interest of development speed and configurability for the browser, this is the technology that Vivaldi decided to use to build it. To change horses now and build and equivalent-looking and equivalent-acting UI using all native elements (which would mean there's essentially no work for the processor to do to build and display the UI, and the UI would be faster and more responsive, by a few milliseconds) would mean going back to the drawing board and starting over. And it would take longer to reach the same stage of development we are at now, than it already took the first time - PLUS adding features, skins, visual flexibility, etc. would take much longer. Development would slow to a snail's pace compared to what we have now.

Maybe it is the Chromium engine. I don't use Chrome, and I have never seen the warning for the Vivaldi installer - not in Vivaldi, and not in Opera, which is also built on Chromium.

Thanks

As an alternative, you can hold down ctrl and click on the link you want to load in the foreground. This is at least easier than right clicking and choosing "open in new tab".
-
Ah I see. Thanks. I thought that the "Use Native Window" function in the setting actually used a native window fully, instead of just a window frame around. I agree that sticking with what we got now would be better.
-
Yes. For now it is. Behavior now is a tradeoff not using too much screen space in that area. But, we do have on the todo list to make more buttons available and to let it be configurable which will be visible.
-
the only thing that bugs me in it's design is that there's a possibility to accidentally click the x button on the tab,
I should be so lucky! Half the time the x button doesn't show up on my tabs.
(This is a very old bug.)

Any chance for DPI scalling? I have 125% DPI scale on Windows and other browsers (Chrome, Opera, Edge) are automatically molding websites scale. In Vivaldi zoom level is 100%, so pages are a little small here.

I have them write about it a hundred times

Another alternative that I use almost exclusively is the mouse down gesture. Start the gesture on the link and the new tab will open in the foreground.
-
A small clarification, this seems to happen with any executable file that you are about to download, not just Vivaldi.

Lost all saved passwords (that's a real nuisance) ! And saving new ones doesn't work either.

Is there anyway to drag and drop sites on speed dial? I've tried to drag the Twitter tile to Facebook so I can have a social group, but it doesn't work for me.
ALSO, Speed Dial goes nuts when re-arranging tiles: http://i.imgur.com/Qfqf0n6.png

From what I get in the last article from the forum section "Vivaldi on the web", I translated the Norwegian text into this:
"- Our plan is to go quite rapidly over in version 2.0, and it's just touches remaining until it becomes possible, he says. - In the next version we plan including incorporating email in your browser."
This means that the next version will be 2.0, not 1.1 or something like that, and it will have the mail client incorporated!
-
Not sure that's what that means. The first stable version can be expected to be Version 1.(something). The next stable version after that, which they hope to hit VERY QUICKLY after version 1, should be version 2, in which they have the aim of incorporating email. That's how I interpreted that translated statement. In other words, after a couple of years of developing Version 1, they may be shooting to hit version 2 after only a couple more months, which would be a very rapid transition. After that, who knows how long until version 3? Another year maybe? Jon has said he wants his applications of whole numbers to versions to be meaningful and consequential, not just clicking upward every time Google releases another Chromium version. But for sure, the change from the first stable without email to the first stable WITH email, would be very consequential.
That's my take.

Nope, shortcuts are still not working while page is loading.

ok but why when I click to update my vivaldi - it won't update to 1.0.340.7 ???
