Reader Mode button and drag tabs between windows improvements - Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1.5.633.3/16
-
This isn't first time a snapshot with Mail leaked. Previous one can still be found in the internet. What's worrying - looks like there isn't much progress since then. And I guess a full year already had passed.
-
Weird, but at least there's a logical explanation. If you go back a few snapshots, I posted some comments that explain what's going on.
If you can't check or uncheck the Vivaldi preference, it means that an extension is overriding the setting.
There's also a bug in uBlock Origin 1.9.10 where it will always override the WebRTC IP Handling policy with its own setting. Since both the "On" and "Off" setting for "Prevent WebRTC…" in uBlock0 is less strict than how Vivaldi can set this policy, the Vivaldi option will always be checked if this "old" version of uBlock is enabled. Just check the "Prevent WebRTC from leaking local IP addresses" setting in uBlock and you'll still be okay.
A new version of uBlock Origin will likely be out in a few days; it will contain a fix that minimizes conflicts with browsers such as Vivaldi and Opera that also have their own options to change the WebRTC IP Handling policy.

Okay, [putting my flame-resistant suit on again…] do we really want people to keep posting their wish lists here over and over again like aggressive panhandlers?!?

Let me fix that for you :

VB-19728 - Text balloon on the current tab to see more easily the title.
settings, tabs, disable "Show popup thumbnails"
-
Depends on the point of view - technically it belongs to both. It was added to the search subsection too because several users did not find it in the privacy section.
-
Right, it was intended to be like that from the beginning when arc90 first published the code. Additionally it was intended not to run if there is no sufficient amount of continuous text - at least 200 characters in the original (IIRC, long time ago).
-
Readability (the Vivaldi read mode is based on that, the same as the readers in other browsers too) works destructive and so the page needs to be reloaded from the cache (apart from those parts of the page that use a cache breaker or have the http header set to expired, such indicating that it should not be cached).
-
(VB-21840) does not seem to be fixed. I reported the same issue as:
(VB-21583) A dragged URL is not opened in a new tab when dropped on the tab bar
-
Oooooooh, yes please. I dooooo vote for Hot Purple, or alternatively, Smoke On The Water Purple.
Here you are, trolls, I'll do it for you to save you the effort: -1,000,000.73.

Too late!! ruario already promised that the Vivaldi Snapshot icon will remain as is - a nice, pleasant, neutral Charcoal Grey! But feel free to pick whatever colour you want for your internal builds.

-
(I invented the term. It was funnier than just plain yellow )
-
It's also a bug in Vivaldi, as you should have the choice to have the settings be overridden by extension or not.

Win 7, 64 Bit, Viv 32
I KNOW you don't want to know I'm on FF but I'll explain. Viv, this build NOT previous, takes 97.5% of my memory but with FF it's 34% which would you use? No matter what I do I cannot work with Viv fast enough to keep it from crashing…it EATS memory so fast!!
For the second time I used the auto update ( think it was before some corrections in file I read about,but didn't follow) ...every time I do I get problems unlike downloading the whole file.
Downloaded, or tried to, some files, reader totally crashed. Rebooted safe mode etc. tried to clean up memory where I could go to Viv and download version....ate memory, crashed again.
Cleared memory downloaded Viv with FF reinstalled and again crashed. I gave up don't have time to mess with it for now. FF has been on for about 10 min still 34% with as many tabs.
Thought I'd give that up to to discuss. Have fun...I know it's me. -
Above I got Viv to load and I tried erasing cache and cookies and watched the total memory of system quickly eat up from 5 Gig and go to 7 Gig in less than minute. Currently only using 2.8 Gig
If I uninstall Viv then reinstall will I lose everything. I think working files are so corrupted that will be the only way to get stable but DON'T want to lose settings which I am sure are no good.

You'd think so, but it's a bit more complicated than that…
With Chrome, an extension can be granted permission to change and override a setting or policy. (You grant these permissions when you install the extension.) If a setting is overridden, the Chrome preference is locked, greyed out, and marked with a "puzzle piece" icon; clicking that icon gives you the option to either disable the extension that's overriding the setting or go to the extension's option management controls to change the setting there. Vivaldi does not (yet) provide this clarity or functionality. Some Chrome settings in Vivaldi have even been eliminated (presumably replaced with a sensible default) and I'm not sure what happens if those are overridden... or even if they can be overridden.
It gets even more fun: If you install "uBlock Origin", then install "WebRTC Network Limiter", you'll have uBlock overriding Vivaldi's WebRTC setting and WebRTC NL overriding uBlock; WebRTC NL wins.
In the end, regardless of what we think is the right thing to do, for Chrome extensions to work in Vivaldi, Vivaldi has to behave like Chrome or risk breaking things in potentially really weird and subtle ways.

I can't stress this enough, but an option to disable automatic checking of updates is crucial, especially for people with certain mental conditions and/or OCD, since the most important thing about updates are, well, updates. How we are presented those updates plays an important part.
I know I am just a scrub against the Vivaldi dev gods, but a feature like that fixes every future update from here on out.
-
Hehe lucky guy. Wish I had an error like that
-
That that must have been the fastest feature request ever implemented in the history of feature requests. It's not working here either but I'l patiently await for the next snapshot to play with it
