Vivaldi powers up the Start Page and adds docked Dev Tools

Assuming you are on a 64-bit version of Windows: uninstall your current (32-bit) version of Vivaldi (using the regular Windows uninstaller), but do not uninstall 'profile/settings'.
Download and install the 64-bit version, and your new installation will use your 'old' settings/profile. -
@aronand: For some time now (ever since themes were added) I think the dark theme has the wrong default accent - it's red, but it should be black or something similar, and only red if it inherits from page.

@marimba: Just install the 64-bit version over the 32-bit version. The profile will be kept.
-
@rseiler: You should try yourself before making such definite statements. It doesn't use more memory for me. I have quite old PC with only 4GB of RAM and 360 tabs opened in 4 windows and I have not noticed a difference in memory use after installing 64-bit version over 32-bit version.

@scotch11: Install 64-bit over 32-bit.
-
@fox-linuxthebest: WIR. Rest assured it is progressing internally.
-
@rhstogus: Updates were always manual, never done automatically. From the notification dialog you can trigger update.

Nice joke !!
Fail or Partial load of the start page still not fixed when launching Vivaldi...

@kitlard: It will come, it is being worked on.

@JasonJosephNYC This is Edge ^^

@an_dz: Actually the tab preview pop-up disappears. It does not disappear for tab stack to allow selecting a tab in a stack, but for a single tab you can just press the tab handle so this is why it disappears, to be less intrusive and it does not serve much purpose to stay. But if one thinks otherwise, a bug can be submitted for consideration.
-
@peavy3000: BTW, as an interim solution, do you know tree-style tab Chrome extensions that would work for you (that work in Chrome but maybe not in Vivaldi)? In any case, please submit a new feature request through https://vivaldi.com/bugreport/ so it can be considered. Thanks!
-
@sw535: The background in new tab is grey for me. Please submit a bug report through https://vivaldi.com/bugreport. It would be good to attach a screen recording in animated GIF showing the issue (for example recording with a screentogif.com freeware tool).
-
@rseiler: You can change the order between ascending/descending with an arrow at the right-end of the sorting header.

Very huge code changes indeed. Thank you.
Keep an eye on how Opera manages "Personal news". Something like this could be fine in some next Vivaldi updates, no rush forced.
I like very much how uniform thumbnails are, and little text, for all news sources. Makes it very, vey personal when design from original sites are not forced upon us inside Personal News. I know you can even lift something like this to a whole new level, even better than Opera has it.
Second good thing with "Personal News" (so long we chose sources) is survey over happenings in the world. For few seconds you know what is happening around. Saves a lot of time. Really a lot of time.PS: I tried some Chrome extensions for it, but not even close.,

@Wladisha Hi, Wladisha, this is by design, any internal page/fallback will give a red color to the accent. If you don't like the red color, you could always change it, if you select the dark theme in the settings window, and press the edit button, you can select the "Accent" square and start choosing a color that better fits for you If you feel strongly that the dark theme should be changed, I could take it up with its designer, but I can't promise anything.

I have now, and it's no different than any other Vivaldi 64-bit version that I've used throughout the year in terms of memory use (and there's no evidence to suggest that something radically changed in this build in this area).
That you don't see any difference in memory use between the two means that you're measuring memory wrong. Maybe you're only looking at the "Vivaldi" instance at the top of Task Manager, ignoring the million others down below. It's an easy mistake to make.
To make it easier, I use a 3rd-party task manager which adds all the like processes together in one lump sum, so there's no way to miss anything and there's no math necessary. That way, I can routinely see Vivaldi's use of 3, 4 or 5GB of RAM.
And NO WAY does x86 use the same amount. It simply doesn't work that way, sorry. Not Vivaldi's fault. Same for any x64 Chromium-based browser.
BTW, your mention of 360 open tabs in 4 windows on a 4GB machine (absurd numbers, unless the vast majority of those tabs are asleep) may suggest that you're trolling me, but I thought I'd answer anyway.

I really like this browser. However, with each passing update, it seems to me it uses more and more ram such that i can only open no more than 5 tabs.
Please start reducing the amount of RAM please!!

@Hadden89
My guess is it's the work internet having something blocked. Just discovered yesterday that I could get all through AT&T's site, except when the form tried to post my payment. Vivaldi updated as expected on my home PC.Just checked and it now says my version is 1.10.867.38 When I left yesterday I had the laptop shutdown and install updates. So maybe something in Windows was screwing it up. All I did this morning was boot up and check the version and it's changed now. Several attempts yesterday never updated the version though.

What about the "send anonymous statistics" check that disappeared from settings?
Why you didn't show this point on the changes list here?
