Snapshot 1.0.344.34 - move tabs between windows
-
first bookmark bar folder and V menu opens to the left of the browser if you have another monitor to the left and browser is maximized. win7
-
what is the problem? Paypal does heavy browser sniffing so it's probably their fault. They're doing like:
- oh, you are IE, here's stuff for you
- oh, hi Firefox, here's another stuff for you
- oh, hi Chrome, and another stuff for you, because we can't write cross-browser code
- WTF IS VIVALDI? FUCK YOU
Some days ago (maybe this is still here) they were HIDING THE if you had an apostrophe –> ' <-- in your User Agent string. The content was there, just hidden via Javascript. I sent them e-mail, and they said I have to use recommended browser, and that's it, they didn't fix. They have new UI now so it may not be true right now.

1 just install as USB, it should work as portable then
2 probably won't happen soon
3 i don't know what do you mean -
what is the problem?
It's described in the referenced ticket, so the Vivaldi team has more details.someone

If you want to "attract" old Opera users, you should fix 'Import data' (passwords) before the next beta/final/whatever. There's no error message but it doesn't work at all.

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'd like to enhance this option:
- ability to move more than 1 tab by tab selection
- move selected tab/tabs to new window in background
-
Speed dial is updating and tiles go black every now and then. Is it possible to freeze the tiles icons and prevent speed dial from updating? Or, even better, replace them with favicons?

I'm fairly sure popups are behind at least one crash. I can reproduce the crash at https://www.indiegala.com when they have secret free game giveaways, and you have to input your twitter name, e-mail address and press continue to login to your facebook account. Pressing the continue button opens up a facebook popup, much like those twitter gives when trying to log-in to disqus or something like that. No problem in Opera but Vivaldi crashes. (Do note that Vivaldi, by default, actually blocked these popups for me. Actually clicking to allow the popups temporarily crashed the browser).
-
Vivaldi doesn't seem to work properly with pop-up tabs (which are supposed to be small windows but the browser keeps them as full-sized tabs), I just can't login on sites like Hypeddit and Toneden (On one nothing happens even though it looks like it works, on the other it doesn't work at all). Maybe it has something to do with third-party API authorization?

There are always issues with Cloudflare. If there is an issue while downloading, wait a few seconds/minutes and try again.

For the portable version you just need to google it, of course they aren't official but still work fine and are most times up to date.
Downsite is that updates may come a little delayed or that you might have to reinstall every update, depending on your provider of the portable version.(To avoid using the IE -which is mandatory at my company- I use this one: http://portableappz.blogspot.de/2015/01/vivaldi-108338-multilingual-tech-preview.html )

I think this was the way it worked in Opera up to version 12.
I don't remember if there was an option to make it behave like the more popular browsers (I think not) -
Opera 12 had MDI (multiple document interface) where tabs was really sub-windows located inside main window. Such tab was not maximized inside the window and had hidden address bar if script requested that (with ability to show it again). New Opera just opens new window, but it's small (can't remember if it's hidding something). Vivaldi just opens regular tab.

When I read the article title I thought for one second this was movable tabs. Still, this is better than nothing and I find it very interesting. It's a feature I will use since I can't move windows one from monitor to another (the biggest missing thing which also most people complain) but I don't think this is more useful than dragging tabs and let me explain why.
First this requires 3 steps. A right click, then you have to move the cursor exactly to the option and then click again to move to the new window (assuming you know where first). This requires to much mental focus on locating the options visually and then the correct window title as opposed to just clicking once on a tab and dragging it to the correct monitor without looking. When you drag a window you don't need to remember or pick a window exactly like in this case. You move it right, left, up or down (depending where your monitor is). With this option it requires to much focus to recognize which windows is where. Browsing means someone changes tabs all the time, which means the identification clues in those options (the windows title) also changes all the time.
By dragging Windows you can also do that with any tab, not only the one you have focus right now. While this is an interesting option, please try this with 4 monitor vs moving Windows and its not anywhere that fast or that smooth. Just like with web sites, users don't read pages, they scan them visually. You should not scan a GUI and read text to recognize which option to use.

These are the main things I think will make Vivaldi a real powerful option to replace peoples main browser:
1. Stability, some people still complain about freezes and crashes. I experienced them as well with some tabs, instead of the tab crashing, the whole browser is stuck. Some websites don't play nice, example, instead of opening a fixed size windows, it opens a new tab (mostly messages windows or popups). Visually this is horrible because this messages are mostly Yes or No options, instead they open in a new tab.
2. Optimization and speed. Resources are to intensive for my taste, disk I/O and other things can be reduced and the GUI still lags a bit.
3. A proper developer tools. I found myself using more and more Firefox Developer for its amazing web tools. I understand Vivaldi has another focus right now (getting a first release), but lets remember that Opera was the main choice for many power users because of its powerful web developer tools. Opera had the most advanced one back in the old days. In a distant future, Vivaldi should really consider this again to attract developers and the people which are most vocal on the Internet (good marketing)
4. Security. Not sure how Vivaldi plans to keep up to date with Chromium, but fast patching and updates should come somehow. This is the biggest problem with Chrome forks, they are nice but always late to the party when it comes to patching and security, reason why many people go back to the real thing. Don't make users feel they are using a fork or a clone, patch the same day or the next day when Chromium does.
