Reader Mode button and drag tabs between windows improvements - Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1.5.633.3/16

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
-
Yeah I mostly agree.
Personally I woudn't need "full customization options" although I totally understand some may like it. But a "night mode" with light text on black background would eventually be welcome indeed. A lot easier on the eyes for us photophobics -
Hey guys thanks for fixing VB-22064 and reader mode is great.
VB-22064 (Gesture editing touch support, limit to left mouse button)doesn't seem fixed here though, if the Settings Window is in a tab I still can't define a gesture with the right mouse button, only the left.
Should I report a new bug or is it still a work in progress?
-
OMG OMG OMG OMG! Background tabs are no longer lazy loaded on startup, they load immediately after restart! There's a setting for it too in Startup Options.
Thank you so much
-
thanks for the update, I notice that in recent snapshots (2 or 3 snapshots) the pagefile usage just keeps going up even if I close all the tabs. This happens on both 32bit and 64bit systems on my computer (when I revert to snapshot Vivaldi.1.5.609.8, the browser uses less pagefile and ram but still as fast and the pagefile usage drops when I close all the tabs) so I hope this will be addressed soon.

Tested here on Windows 764bits and didn't see an issue. Are you full screening the video on the main window?
I only got the task bar above the video if I clicked outside the Vivaldi windows, or focused on another non-Vivaldi Window. If one or the other Vivaldi windows was focused, the video was always on top -
I m getting error while downloading 64bit windows installer.
I also see this certificate error "There are issues with the site's certificate chain (net::ERR_CERT_REVOKED)."
-
Basically what was leaked now doesn't share anything with what you saw back then apart from the basic interface. So let me assure you a big part of the team is working constantly on it and there is great progress although you can't see it.

"VB-22064 (Gesture editing touch support, limit to left mouse button)"
This reads like the right mouse button was never intended to be used for defining gestures in the first place. So I'd say this is not a bug but intended behaviour.
-
Can you post some screenshots?
-
Reader mode seems handy but definitely needs a lot of work still. Tried a couple of sites and it didn't seem to detect the article text (gizmodo, theverge).
-
Thank you, so it's better already, but you give up to thumbnails on the other tabs.
It would be nice a hybrid between the two functions. -
You are right, it's harder than I thought. But there is still a bug in Vivaldi as the option is not greyed, and there isn't any indication that the option is overridden by an extension.
Moreover, personally, I would like that option to choose inside Vivaldi to allow the options to be overridden or not, whatever the authorization of the extension I install later without reading their permissions -
Totally agree with the need for a night mode. It's a must have !
-
Indeed. The behavior it fixed that you were able to semi-define a gesture with right mouse button, but it was really buggy, as it wasn't intended. So the fix was to disable it completely.
-
There is an option for that now
-
Thanks. That makes sense. It works fine once an article is opened.
