What does Chromium 54 have as an update that is really a lot better to use than Chromium 53? I don't notice any difference. I'm reading up on the changes, and it kind of seems like a boring update, other than the fact that HTML5 is going to be pushed more than Flash, but I don't use Flash on Vivaldi anyway. At least FireFox/Gecko's updates are handling and improving some of the weaknesses it has. This isn't a criticism of Vivaldi, just Chromium/Blink. It would be great if once the team is big enough, it could contribute to making Chromium much better.
I'm also reading on what Chromium 55 is going to bring to the table, which sounds much more exciting than version 54. http://www.forbes.com/sites/amitchowdhry/2016/10/13/google-chrome-55/#25b0be727a15

"Add basic "Search with…" context menu (VB-22084)" Love It!
-
I am not experiencing the scaling issue on my secondary desktop (W10 64bit V 32bit) but to be safe won't put it on my main machine till others report the issue as non-existent. Thank you as always for the snapshot.

For one thing, a bunch of security fixes. Improvements to HTML5 compliance, resource consumption and rendering performance optimizations, and general bug fixes are others.
Here's a link to the changelog:
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+log/53.0.2785.143..54.0.2840.59?pretty=fuller&n=10000Boring? Sure. Necessary? Absolutely! Whether it's truly better or not (initially, at least) depends on the overall quality of the release. (For those that don't remember, Google issued three additional bug-fix releases in the first two weeks following the release of Chromium 53.)

[Regression] No thumbnail on active tab (VB-20207)
continue show thumbnail….:evil:
in this url: rumbos.com.ve the logo of company show image in left of screem, but if open the same url with chromium or Opera or Firefox or internet explorer the image show in center of screem… :shock:

Are there any plans to decouple the mouse gestures for "New Tab" from "Open Link in New Tab" and "Clone Tab in Background" from "Open Link in Background Tab"?
I already have the middle-click button to open links in new tabs; I don't need a gesture for it. It is really frustrating to accidentally open a link whenever I intended to open a new tab.
-
Confirmed.

Very blurry. Win7 Pro X64, resolution 3440x1440, 125% system dpi scaling, GTX 970, driver version 368.81. Dropping the system dpi scaling to 100% eliminates blur, but strains my eyesight.
-
I'd love to see this fixed. To me, it is the biggest annoyance with mouse gestures.
-
Okay, so it's much better than I thought. Thanks! Not as boring as the articles I read online showed, as they didn't show much at all. Version 55 is supposed to dramatically decrease memory usage and battery drain, which itself with the fixes and improvements of version 54 should be pretty exciting!
-
radiat-r, thank you for the screenshot you posted!
Now that I have an example of what kind of blurry text people have been talking about I can tell that there is nothing wrong with my system, I just need to find my glasses to fix the blurry text.
Someone once mentioned replacing the software for this site so every single edit doesn't echo to anyone that's Subscribed to the page. (sigh)
Here's a Screencap of my screen with Vivaldi open and showing radiat-r's blurry screencap:-
Now I'll go see what YouTube does with Vivaldi's new engine and go for a spin around the 'net; should be a barrel of laughs trying to find out if anything else besides the caret disappears from Vivaldi if I dare to look at another application. If anything turns up, or rather if anything does not turn up I'll file a bug report. :roll:
Windows 10 Pro x64 v1607 build 4393.321

Flash stopped working after updating to this build.

Very clear now that Vivaldi is for Windows, Linux and Mac OS is step-child. Too bad, I was liking Vivaldi but don't take kindly too being treated as a step-child
-
I don't believe that for a second. Missing a test release on a particular platform due to technical issues is nothing new. If anything, Vivaldi on the Mac has a far better track record in this regard than Linux or Windows; I can't remember the last time (if ever) that the Mac platform has been skipped.
By the way, FreeSMUG has not released a Chromium 54 build yet either. I haven't tried building the 54.0.2840.59 source tree on my own so I can't really comment or speculate on what issues may be at play.
-
I love you, man. I love that you added a context search that includes all user added search engines , and that you had the wherewithal to make it available in text fields as well.
-
Cool, thanks Wojciech! Good to see it's already on the list. Keep up the good work Vivaldi team \o/

What makes you say this? The reason we skipped Mac this time is twofold. Firstly, after the Chromium update many pages are displaying blank on Mac. This was not an issue on the other two platforms, so it is taking longer to get Mac into a working state. The changes to Chromium 54 also caused issues with how autoupdate works (i.e. it doesn't right now). We have several people on the team working on these two issues that only appeared on Mac and fully intend to fix them.
Our options were as follows.
-
Don't release any snapshot until Mac is working as well as Linux and Windows and miss out on valuable testing (e.g. the discovery of blurriness issues, which we have not seen internally). This would have further delayed the release of the new Vivaldi as we could not have started investigating and fixing the issues until we were made aware of them.
-
Release with Mac highly broken. Thus providing Mac snapshot users with an obviously very broken build which would never update to a new version.
-
Release without Mac and get as much feedback as possible from the other two platforms to help us move Vivaldi 1.5 along and get it stable as soon as possible.
I think it is quite clear that 3) was the only viable option.
I should also point out that the team is quite evenly divided in terms of who is on each platform, so it is not reasonable to believe that we care less about macOS. The reason it is not present this time is simply because the issues it faced are harder to fix.

In my case everything is very blurry with this version. It is totally unusable, both with the 32 and 64 bit versions (Win7, double screen (1920x1080 and 1920x1200).
I had to downgrade to version 1.5.633.16, which is a shame because I loved the "Search with…" feature
