Vivaldi 1.14 – Three years of continuous innovation
-
@ubik Same here. This release and the last few snapshots have been absolutely horrible. The startup seems to take a half a minute or more, tabs become unresponsive frequently, sometimes even the browser becomes unresponsive, uses about 90% CPU and just starts eating gigabytes of ram. This tacked onto the fact that several parts of the UI are broken, it's unusable for me. It's unfortunate that this is considered "Stable"...
I generally use snapshots and even I've had no choice but to downgrade to 1.13. Startup takes seconds and everything works well enough for me. -

@reddy-shyam: Tried to delete it and re-install, but got the message that forecastfox would load on system startup and run as a background app even when vivaldi is closed. Only wanted FF because I wanted to know the "RealFeel" temperature. Not worth the trouble!
Have you tried clearing reminiscences of the extension in appdata folder and install again? Just a thought.
Hope you are using this same extention https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/forecastfox-fix-version/boljdehmejbffnfiiicckjhafabdepnd

This "stable version" is a complete disaster for me!
Magnet links are not working, sites sometimes randomly won't load correctly, Vivaldi randomly turns completely black and i can't do anything except to force kill it. All these problems started with Snapshot 1.14.1072.3. I tried to figure out what could be affecting some of the issues, but no luck. I tried refreshing profile,reinstalling, playing with extensions, changing settings... Nothing fixes anything. If i go to 1.13 stable and use the exact same settings and extensions i have 0 problems. The only thing I'm sure about, is that all these problems started with 1.14.1072.3!

@fox-linuxthebest: Sync is not ready for stable yet.

Finde das wirklich einen tollen Browser!
-
Thanks for another great update. Still hoping to see some ram/cpu/gui optimalizations more often than any vertical readers modes but every feature counts I guess.
btw Downloading as zip from mega is causing the browser to instantly crash. Win 7 x64 Ultimate and 1.14.1077.39 x64 version of Vivaldi. -

Why is that? I've seen no issues yet, myself...
-
@mossman For a start, not all settings are synced. Then the server is not always available. I am sure there are more issues. For Stable channel it should do what it says on the GUI at least most of the time.

I love it. And the browser seems faster in which I REALLY love.
-
I love Vivaldi so much, Jon von Tetzchner and the whole team I cannot thank you enough. Bless you all

@reddy-shyam: I delete the whole vivaldi folder in AppData (backing it up first, of course) and downloaded and installed FF and ran Vivaldi, and the same thing happened, it went to the start page instead of last session, even though it was the only extension in my new setup. I'm not upset I can't use FF, although if it made Popup My Bookmarks, Stylebot, uBlock Origin, or NoSquint Plus, I would be very upset.
-
@reddy.shyam: I forgot to say that overall, I think the Vivaldi is the best of the Chromium-based browsers. It is faster and has more options than any other browser.

This post is deleted! -
Right-click and drag (green arrows on lichess.org) is still broken.
Can you please, please fix this? It's just a regression, shouldn't be so hard. -

@luetage just one more button with "?" or "help" in the notes would be sufficient, like the "?" on top of this forum text compsing box.
Help in vivaldi would be better if F1 opens a related page instead of just https://help.vivaldi.com/Pecisely! Thank you, Ian CooG, for getting where I was going with this.
^This, Luetage, is how you do it. In a earlier comment I told someone who had directed me to look at Reddit that this is exactly how Reddit does it in their comment boxes. They don't assume people know their version of the syntax off by heart, or that it's common knowledge; they provide a wee link right on the comment box people can click that shows them the syntax.
If you want only solutions for Vivaldi perhaps put another icon next to the 'Switch Markdown View' button that opens a help page with the syntax (and not, as Ian says, the help Main Menu)? Or make it open a new Note with the syntax?
What it feels like I'm being told is that a) Vivaldi isn't for me. b) I'm expected to be Internet savvy in all it's many aspects ("oh, the information is common 'out there' - go find it and stop bothering us") c) Vivaldi isn't interested in helping me become internet saavy, even when that directly benefits itself. When you make assumptions about your users you seem arrogant. This is a tiny tweak that harms no-one and only benefits.
And yes, I'd have a similar button for HTML as well, where it applies. If you bring something from the exterior internet into your browser as an internal feature (this is why I'm not asking for localised help/instruction sections on Window Management or Bookmarks, Internal-only features), you should also be prepared to do the work of explaining that feature, otherwise you're relying on user knowledge and you might find that your feature is useful - and used by - only 30% of your user-base. IF you want people to use Vivaldi, to fully appreciate the work you've put into it, then you should be willing and eager to help people actually use those features. With Markdown Vivaldi has told people it's there and then left them to just get on with it.

I need bookmark tagging. This is taking to long. Please give us bookmark tagging.

Hello,
Thank you for your good work - I really like this browser!
But.... I have issues streaming Amazon on Vivaldi (timeout) since a few weeks (it worked before) - streaming works without problems on other browers -

Not very stable version. Come back to V1.13
-
Since I use 1.14, I have several websites that are displayed incorrectly, regarding where the hyperlinks are.
As you can see here, the mouse cursor and hover effect are unaligned. Will this be fixed in version 1.15?Also, when I try to post this message, I get this error: https://streamable.com/fd3iq
