Minor update to Vivaldi 1.10
-
@Chas4 1.91 is intentional. It keeps badly-coded browser-sniffing websites from reading 1.10 as 1.1.
-
Video was not fixed.
When? -
@gruz7848: What video issue do you mean? Please explain video on which webpage does not work for you and what exactly happens. What system do you have?
-
@Gwen-Dragon . I already wrote about this many times. You forgot? Or you do not read the forum at all? Everyone knows about this, except for you. This problem is not only for me, but for many users. Your colleagues told me that the problem is in codecs for Win7, and that they are working on it. So I ask when they fix it. Do you understand now?
Ā I repeat once more for you. Windows 7 32 bit. Video Intel HD Graphics. All extensions are disabled.
Any video on vk.com does not work. -

So rude!
As someone who does read the forums (admittedly not as much as @Gwen-Dragon ) I know that there are multiple "known" video problems; multiple gpu configurations, mac os, hardware acceleration, codecs/widevine(linux) as well as Windows 7. -
@ayespy: I remember when Opera faced that from 9 to 10, I remember testing Opera Next 10, "Speed Beauty Innovation x10"
IE 10 kinda did, not sure about Chrome or FF

@TbGbe
Good for you! Because you're very very smart and kind person. You know a lot and read a lot. Looks like you're a college graduate. Keep it up! -
@alo0oz It appears you are suffering with the Windows 7 problems as well.
@Gwen-Dragon has reported that a solution is being worked on

Well, I still have the following problems on two independent computers on different networks (work and home), settings (managed corporate with proxy vs home machine without proxy), PC's (ancient Lenovo desktop vs Samsung laptop), operating systems (7 and 8.1) both using Vivaldi latest stable and inheriting no configuration from each other:
-
Some sites just hang and won't let me scroll-wheel (but I can move the scroll bar manually). Clicks take no effect in that tab when that happens. Reloading the tab doesn't actually action anything (no reload), but other tabs will continue to work fine. However copy/paste URL into new tab in the same window will load it just fine. (Cheezburger.com easiest site to reproduce, happens all the time if you just load enough pages, and don't even need to get into a dozen or more pages most of the time)
-
I've never seen so much "problem" pages where Vivaldi suddenly stops being able to load a page with the black/white error page, or where all the tabs grey-out and then reload themselves, since updating to this version.
-
Video speeding through at warp nine for no visible reason, only fixable by restarting browser. No particular video site (has happened on everything from BBC News to Vine). Doesn't always happen but once it starts, only a restart will fix it.
-
Random instant-death of browser, no chance to save stop or recover, no "Not Responding" just straight up disappears from the process list and task bar. No discernible reason.
Seems to be the last few stable minor updates that this stuff has crept in.
Oh, and not being able to ChromeCast means that Vivaldi gets less use than Chrome nowadays. Not your fault, as such, but can we not get a ChromeCast extension back even if it means a third-party thing?

@gwen-dragon: Video content now finally runs smoothly on my setup. The screen used to flicker on Linux (Ubuntu + Lubuntu) but not on Windows 10. It seems I wasn't the only one: https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/18934/broken-screen-in-vivaldi
Anyway, I reinstalled Vivaldi recently just to see give it another go, and what do you know?, everything works like a charm. I see other people are still running into certain though.
I love the search bar on Vivaldi, as well as other nice touches that I had never looked for in a browser but have have come to like.
It scores 146,2 in the 'Speedometer' benchmark with no other tabs open, and 135.0 with 14 other tabs open.
That places it head to head with Google Chrome as the highest scoring in this test (Chrome came out a mere whisker faster).
It scored highly in all other benchmarks as well by the way. -
