Vivaldi powers up the Start Page and adds docked Dev Tools
-
Great work. Would be amazing to be able to set the address bar to hide..and automatically reappear when opening a new tab, so it can be instantly typed into. And hide upon loading the page. AND appear if there is a notification in an extension.
THAT would be unprecedented and make for an incredibly smooth clean workflow! -
I love that we can now use gifs on the start page.
-
Docked Dev tools, Chromium 59, + more! I'm a happy camper. Thank you!

@cqoicebordel: How can I switch from the 32 bit version to the 64 bit version?
-
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.,
