Testing it right now.
No visible improvement in maximizing on startup, it's always like previous snapshots.
Rearranging search engines work. Hurrah! The UI is a bit messy tho, try having lots of search engines, in my case 20, so it has a scrollbar: every time a engine entry gets clicked, it moves the page AND the clicked search entry is not selected but the new one that is now where the mouse cursor is pointed now, making it harder to aim to the new position. Changing UI zoom to 65% allows me to have all searches on screen without scroll bar, still moving an entry to the desired position seems a bit random, sometime the entry ABOVE the one selected gets moved.

Yay -- first Snapshot of 2018! Happy New Year!!
-
Hell yeah that was needed, oh and happy new year guys!
Now if only we could get %s wildcards in the bookmarks we wouldn't even need a search engine list at all.
Suggestion - Put the controls (Add, remove and reorder buttons) at the top of the list instead of the bottom, so they don't shift up or down white adding or removing egines

The added support for power events in the theme scheduler means that Themes will now apply when your computer wakes up from sleep. This is a solid improvement for Theme Scheduling.

@helmers: See now I wish I had written about that!

[Dev Tools] Dragging tab out of window crashes if DevTools open (VB-36133)
confirmed working here -
Still no dropdown when 'address auto-complete' is disabled.
-
Engines are too big. All UI must be more compact, eg lesser space between history/bookmarks entries, shorter tabs etc. At least additional option for "compact UI" will be good. "UI scale" is not the same, it scales even fonts and icons, making them blurry and unreadable.

@lars-l if a bug fix is not declared in the blog of this entry, it's clearly not fixed yet. There are plenty to do.
-
I like the interface for the search engines in settings. While moving search engines around, I noticed they often don't jump to the correct place. Moving a search up will often jump it 3 places instead of one.

No security patches from Chromium yet? Would have been more important than new features imho.
-
@kened The introduction of features isn't dependent on popular feature requests. It's also about how easy it is to implement, and if it even makes sense at the moment. Introducing pop out video is far more work than moving search engines around.
-
A potable version of Vivaldi would be nice.
-
waiting for rearrangeble searchengines for years, thank you!
but the down button moves only the cursor, not the searchengine (€dit: it moves the searchengine one time down, after that nothing happens).
and (as luetage already wrote), the up button changes the searchengine sometimes up to 3 places -
and now please separators
-
@kened If the feature is essential to you, you will have to use one of these other browsers in the meantime.

@gwen-dragon: working with Win7x64
-
@luetage Afterwards, it settles down to the correct behaviour.
Since Gwen does not see this bug, perhaps it depends on having deleted some search engines earlier?
It's working fine for me now. Initially, Wikipedia jumped straight to the top of my list.
