Vivaldi 1.11 – Focus on accessibility

[julioc1984]

The new logo reminds me something...

Please, change to the old logo in the next Snapshot!

@cail: Well, can't edit that post but, this is quite a deal-breaker, soo, can i just straight up intall the older version back from the installer or does that screw something up?

[Cail]

@gwen-dragon: Figured something like that might happen...
Thanks.
Gotta start backing up the profile before updates in the future then, cheerios!

Yahoo Mail still complains about Viv...

Clean installation of Viv x64 with related cookies cleared on Win10 x64.

@CptGuapo Apparently we have to spoof the user agent to them or contact their staff and tell them to stop blocking us. (Which they will probably ignore) But then Yahoo is our default search engine in Stable now isn't it? Shouldn't THAT give us a bit of leverage?

that should be resolved between Vivaldi and Yahoo. Also this whole 1.92 faked UA version is ridicule and should be resolved soon.

@iAN-CooG When sniffers are certain that 11<9, how the hell you gonna resolve that?

[Cail]

@19lmyers: You shouldn't be afraid of UI design choices, with Vivaldi you can just do whatever you want with the browser using CSS and JS.
And i'm hoping they'll be adding some official support for these custom made themes (even if only CSS, you can do a lot on the UI just with that).

[iAN CooG]

@Ayespy which sniffer exactly? nobody ever specified which sites' devs are to blame for this inconvenience which seems peculiar to Vivaldi only. Vivaldi devs need to talk to those ignorant devs and tell to read something about math.

Hopefully Mail in the next snapshot.

[Ayespy]

@iAN-CooG The workaround was introduced after certain sites began to advise users that they could not come on site until they "updated" their Vivaldi from 1.10 to 1.9 - because in common decimal math, 1.1xxx is lesser than 1.9 anything. I don't recall that anyone made any effort to catalogue which sites were doing this, but it was definitely a known and recorded issue. That was the reason for the 1.91, 1.92, etc. progression. The issue will vanish for a year or two when Vivaldi 2.0 (mail, I presume) is introduced. In the meantime, how do you police the web to stop stupid sniffing? Unless you can, then you have to either adopt the "conventional" mode of only introducing whole number progressions every time Chromium updates, or "spoof" your own UA.

It looks that problem with large Notes file is solved. (VB-30245)

Thanks.

1.11.917.39 (Stable channel) (64-bit version)

Operating System: Linux x86.64

[blisca]

@jonmc: Mail first.
Please.

[LigH]

Still no integration of a mail and IRC client. Still no wholesome substitute for Opera 12. Instead, little nits over little nits which I do not really need. I need to get rid of Opera 12. Please ... make Vivaldi a versatile web suite, eventually, like Opera used to be.

@Cail said in Vivaldi 1.11 – Focus on accessibility:

When i'm using "Minimize Active Tab" it isn't getting affected by "Activate In Recently Used Order" anymore, when i click active tab again and again, it won't take me back to the last active tab, it just cycles through all the tabs in order.

@cail: Same regresion here:
1.11.917.39 (Stable channel) (64-bit version)
Operating System: Linux x86.64

@cail: You can edit your post in Forum, here: https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/20015/vivaldi-1-11-focus-on-accessibility/54#

And did you report Tab bug?

[Cail]

@blisca: I tried, bug reporting isn't working atm. but apparently it has been reported already, so, yey.

[blisca]

@LigH Hope that Vivaldi 1.12 will be like Opera 12 - with mail.

[Ayespy]

@blisca I suspect Vivaldi will increment to 2.0 with the release of email.

Many congratulations on the wonderful project you are building. I do like improvements and have some I'd like to see to the Vivaldi UI but actually it's quite good now. When I read "much larger visual overhaul" I get a little nervous do to the fact it's so good now. But I am now most curious what is coming next. Best wishes Vivaldi Team.
