Vivaldi 1.6RC 2 - Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1.6.689.32

Since we have been using an incorrectly named†, secure password store for several snapshots, the switch back to the correct one will result in the loss of passwords saved during your use of those snapshots. However, all old passwords stored prior to the broken builds, should now be accessible again.
†Only the name was wrong, the method of securing your private data did not change and was not weakened.
I noticed that Vivaldi created "Chromium Safe Storage" in the Keychain and started using that instead of "Chrome Safe Storage". My thought was, Great - there's less opportunity for Vivaldi and Chrome to trip over each other.
I would actually prefer that Chrome and Vivaldi not be "joined at the hip" in any way. Is there any reason why you don't call it "Vivaldi Safe Storage"?
-
yep that is the plan with a way to automatically migrate the passwords over but that is for a future release.

Thanks. Looking forward to this change!
P.S. The update from RC1 to RC2 worked fine. Not that it shouldn't have, but it hasn't always in the past. Cheers!

can you guys add "play/pause" button next to mute button on tabs?
-
I think this is not possible. You can mute audio stream from page but you can not know how to control one of hundreds media player scripts which is different on almost every website.

Please do not forget the missing (12!) translations strings!

New regression? I provided feedback (for RC1) that history navigation w/ swipe gestures on OS X were working fine with trackpads but only intermittently with a Magic Mouse.
Now trackpad and mouse swipes are only working intermittently for me on this build.
Did you implement any additional changes for this RC or is Vivaldi unhappy when both a mouse and trackpad are active on a MacBook?
Edit: Disconnecting my mouse (via the Bluetooth) menu instantly made trackpad gestures work again. Reconnecting my mouse didn't re-break trackpad swipes… and mouse swipes are working again too... for now, at least.
-
What type of strings. In what language?
-
Thanks for new SS, Gmail notification works fine, thanks, I want to ask. Detecting and displaying the number of notifications will appear on the web panel? because now for example messenger, FB and Gmail, etc., notification does not show. Thanks

[Regression] Swipe history navigation stopped working on Mac (VB-23679)
Something weird is still going on with swipe navigation. In RC1, I reported that trackpad swipes were working fine but gestures with a Magic Mouse were intermittent.
Suddenly, trackpad gestures on my MacBook stopped working; Magic Mouse swipes were not working either.
My initial thought was that Vivaldi was not happy with both a mouse and trackpad active simultaneously, so I tried disconnecting my mouse via the Bluetooth menu. -> Trackpad swipes started working again immediately.
I tried reconnecting my mouse. It did not re-break the trackpad. Mouse swipes are working again as well… at least for now. Still, this intermittent breakage is a bit disconcerting.
No problems with Safari. I can't test on Chrome because it's not installed at the moment.
(By the way, I posted this issue previously. Editing the post with an update caused the entire post to go into the bit bucket.)

Shows on the favicon end of the tab

This blog discards edited posts sometimes. It's kind of maddening.
-
Be aware some of the strings embedded in Chromium are not practical for Vivaldi developers to translate. They are, however, working on a workaround for this.

I wrote about displaying the icon in the Web Panel, not the tabs. http://i.imgur.com/dbBl5Ue.png

I learned to always push F5 when I do
-
I believe this is a regression from v1.5 which is:
Extension notification / pop-ups are greyed / blacked out when they should have a white background with black border.

This has been an issue for me with the last 2+ Snapshots and this latest snapshot doesn't fix the issue.
P.S. At least Dashlane's extension works correctly now as it didn't work when the LastPass update rolled out but seems to be fixed with the last and current Snapshot which makes me happy
-
I see.

It actually already works in the panels. You can confirm this for yourself by creating a HTML page with a title like the following and add it as a panel:
<title>(1) example page with one notification</title>
In the real world though you will be hard pushed to find a social media or messaging service that actually shows notifications in the panel. The reason is that we present ourselves as a mobile browser when requesting websites via the panel. This is done to help ensure that we get a page that works well within the panel format. However, none of the major social media or messaging services we have checked put these numbers in their titles when there pages are requested from a mobile client. Presumably as people use tabs differently on a mobile.
You could, from the panel request the pages are delivered in desktop form and then the feature will work but you will probably not have a copy of the site that works well in a panel. Thus, while we do have support for panels in real life you are unlikely to benefit from it.
So why did we add support? For completion and because it will probably be handy for a few users somewhere using a service that does this numbering even when a mobile user agent is presented.
EDIT: It seems on further testing that we are not keeping track of page title updates in panels anyway. Until that is fixed this feature could not work in panels even if you do opt to present a desktop user agent.

I love reading RC on snapshot builds (I say without irony ^^)

And because now, we can push those websites to change their behavior
