Snapshot 1.0.425.3 - A new introduction to our browser

Yeah. You can only go so many layers in before it makes you "quote" instead of "reply."
The world has a way to go yet, unfortunately.
When my wife procured buyers and arranged the sale of the business she was running so that its original owners could advance in politics, the buyers didn't want her to stay on. Instead, they hired her deputy, a guy she had been training, supporting, coddling and protecting for the prior 10 years, and paid him 40% more than she had made. I mean how could a CEO who is also a wife and mother be worth 100% of what the position pays, right? (and yet, they were sufficiently nervous that she might go into competition with them that they paid her a hefty sum to sign a non-compete)
EACH of the three dudes it took to replace my daughter started at a higher wage than she left at. Thank God she writes her own ticket for her tech jobs now. She demands more per hour than I do for my consulting work, and gets it. Yay her.

Yesssssss, it's there!
Thanks a lot for adding it to the "final" branch ("hammering" does help sometimes, lol).

I accidentally replied at the bottom of the thread. So again, in this thread, I am in UK, England

The male gender pronoun happens to be the default in English. It's no more a specification of the actual sex of the person in this context than "la fenetre" in French is a claim that windows are actually female. You're making a fuss over nothing.
-
I still suggest using static names for latest beta/snapshot builds.

It's about color, but it might as well be about gender:

Makes sense but then again, you can open more than 20 with sessions which would involve the same destructing actions. Or open 20+ tabs by one manually.
I have one session with 65 tabs. When I open that session it takes like 30 seconds or more where the browser is not responding, but it works. At least on my system, Vivaldi can manage to open more than 20 tabs without serious problems.
The way this could work is like this:
1. Warning if more than 20 are going to be open. Informing the user that it will potentially crash or hang his browser.2. Warning but then open them one by one with a time delay. Not all at once, but open 1 tab, wait 5 seconds, open the next one, and so on. Or load one after the other finished loading.
3. Do the same as 2, but make a loading message with some progress bar, so the user does not think his browser is stuck and crashed, this message would avoid him from clicking anything else or use the browser until all the tabs are have finished loading.
4. Use some RAM check sum calculation, and change the limit based on the free ram he has available. Maybe to complicated…
5. Open 20 at once, then after 20, open them with delays, one by one, calculate if browser is still responding or memory is available, if the next tab can't be opened anymore stop with a another warning message. Or combine one of this things. As long as its not too complicated and does not interfere with the browser in general. Maybe a warning message and a delay is the easiest thing.
Its clear at some number the browser will crash or the user will not able to open more tabs anymore, but what stops someone from doing the same manually? Nothing.
The difference is that doing it manually the user will stop when he notices things are going to hell or know when its crashing or why, and opening all at once will send the browser to hell immediately. So I think a delay between opening after 20+ or so could work.
20 does seem a bit low, as I'm sure more than one user has more than 20 bookmarks per folder. You would not organize things in folders if you only have a few bookmarks.

Bad idea. Why use a menu position just for that… A link inside help page would work. Either way, you would only see this page once when you install the browser, not again, so having an option to it in the menu sounds like they are just trying to fill the menu options. In particular for something you would only click one time and not again.

A few suggestions. I don't really like the right click menu on text selection.
The first 2 options are Copy and Print.
Does someone actually still Copy things like that? I would assume that even non power users know how to Ctrl+C today. But I may be wrong…
Actually, the only shortcut most people learn on Windows, is Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V. That is all. If someone knows and uses shortcuts, that is mostly what they know, (non power users).
I don't copy text like that and I don't think power users do either. Even moderate users don't copy like that anymore. But I understand since its something widely used and people expect it to be there, it has to be there, but you should at least not put it as first option.
Second option is Print. Really? I know Print can mean printing to any other software, but still, second option...
This would be my suggestion:
1. Search for
2. Add Selection as New Note
3. Now the Copy option for those that still use this -
I imagine Vivaldi would eventually let you modify context menus like Opera did. Till then…
There are a lot of usability issues. People who surf mostly using keyboards for example.
Print in context menu... It lets you select a piece of text and print just that. -
I write in languages, and in all 3 of them, when you usually say he, it means both women and men, because it means the person. While historically this comes from the men perspective, its also used in a neutral form, I'm not the one to re-write history, this is probably because God is men, but I'm not to blame about that either… Just kidding
In my case, when I said the following "he starts to adapt..." I was referring to the user of Vivaldi.
Because you only quoted the part you where interested and not the whole phrase which was like this:
"And every newbie will become a power user the more he starts to adapt his browser and learn the tricks"
So anyone reading knows I was referring to the newbie and power user.
Even if I was writing and expressing as he, I'm sure most people don't think in terms of sexuality but the person in general which can be both male or female.
Its also its common knowledge that women can't user computers, just like black people can't fly planes or that most email scammers are in Nigeria....
Ouch, I'm going to get burned for that...
-
That would be perfect. But still the Add as new note is a unique Vivaldi feature, so why not promote it a bit more? And I'm sure the Search option is also more used than Print so even the defaults could be improved a bit.

I couldn't agree more. If you do more than just light browsing with five tabs open at a time, vertical tabs are utterly superior to the traditional horizontal tabs at the top, especially since now pretty much every monitor is widescreen and the space used by the vertical tabs would otherwise just be wasted.
For the first couple hours, it feels weird to not have the tabs where you are used to them, but once you have gotten used to the new position and learned to appreciate how useful it is to actually be able to read the names of tabs instead of just seeing favicons and a few letters, you will never go back to a browser that doesn't support vertical tabs.

Right click pop up menu on text selection
**Wish:
Search with…
Add as New Note**@terere
For me the order is rather irrelevant. However, the copy possibility is very useful. I suppose that mouse oriented users prefer that way of copying (I am one of those). I am not using notes, but still find your idea very good! I never print like that and agree with you regarding Print too.@he/she/it threaders
I understand the reason for emotions very well and support equality in all possible facets. However, the topic here is 1.0.425.3 and it might generally be more appropriate to discuss issues that are actually off-topic in forum, leaving here a link to it. I guess and hope that Vivaldi team is reading these comments and I believe it would be easier for them that way (and for the others too). -
In what world is your comment even remotely useful? Maybe if you described why? If you actually want anyone to try and help that is

Guys… a big regression (and comeback of an old bug):
certain authorizations dialog (log in via FB on some sites) do NOT disappear (and sometimes even do not log you in – the authorization remain 'hang' as a tab without log you in).

When I click a favorite link in the bookmark it doesn't open in the same window but in a new windows. Please fix this.

Hi!
A feature I'd like to see in Vivaldi is the click on a tab to minimize it. Opera had it and it was amazing.
A problem I have been seeing in Vivaldi: When I browse my bookmarks, scrolling up or down through it, and when I click on another tab and come back to the bookmarks tab, the scroll bar is always on the top, no matter at what point I left it.
The latest Vivaldi version, at least in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin), when typing on the address bar, only my bookmarks URLs are scanned, it seems as though the URLs in my history log don't exist at all.
By the way, keep the amazing job you are doing on Vivaldi. It's an amazing browser!
Best Regards!

No, it's nothing to do with "the ruling patriarchy". Languages aren't invented by a central committee of phallocrats. What you are spouting here is feminist theory, which has only vague and accidental connections with the realities of human history and society.
If you really believe that women as a group are, or were, "oppressed", you really don't understand anything about the historical interactions of the human sexes, which were based on the necessity of protection and provisioning of women and children by maes. The accusation that males, as a class, "hate" women and "oppress" them is frankly a gross insult to the millions of human males who have spent, and often lost, their lives struggling to keep women and children alive and healthy. It is this responsibility which historically required males to adopt the social roles they did in society. And none of us would be here to complain about it from our position of safety if they had not done that duty, as members of a species which prospered in large part due to the sexual dimorphism which evolved a male who is a disposable bodyguard.
