Magnet Links are Broken
-
Since last update Magnet link are not working. (Torrrent) #windows
-
@magsen Chromium broke it. They have to fix it.
-
not only magnet but all outer program links, origin too
-
Magnet links broken, adblocking is broken as well in the latest snapshot...
I'm rolling back three or four updates because the latest ones are pretty much useless.
-
All is broken!!! Orgin link, discord links(invite), magnet. WTF? I am doubt it's chromium
-
@witcher Can't say ad-blocking is broken, seeing that Ublock Origin works fine for me.
As has been said, the problem is with Chromium 64, which Vivaldi is based on. Once the Chromium devs have fixed the issue and Vivaldi picks up on it, then it'll be fixed.
Saying that, I do think Vivaldi was a bit too quick in making 1.14 a stable build.
-
Magnet link is broken here, too, Quite annoying. This version should definitely not be marked stable. But there is hope, you can downgrade to previous version on

@linfan Vivaldi cannot decline to release a new stable version just because Chromium broke something which will not be fixed by them (Chromium) for several weeks. It is imperative, if for security reasons only, that Vivaldi's release schedule try to stay current with the release schedule of its underlying engine.
-
Does not work in windows 1.15.1089.3 (Officiell version) (64 bitar) either. Javascript appears to be set correctly in default preferences ("javascript":true,"magnet":false,), so It should not be related to javascript, prolly something else.
-
@ayespy I guess that should be at least discussed, how important are some things which are get broken by new Chromium with urgency updating because of security. If for some people are some broken functions needed, probably they will revert to older version, or use different browser. I mean, what is the point to have latest security fixes applied to browser which can't be used for what I want?

@akurei To be clear, Chromium 64 shipped with bugs and introduced severe regressions. At the same time, it dealt with a couple of critical security hole fixes that a) could not be allowed to remain uncovered for our users and b) could not be back-ported to Chromium 62 (which is what Vivaldi Stable was running on prior to the 1.14 release). Hence, we had to ship. The Team dealt with all the bugs and regressions that we could find internally over a fairly compressed time line (which was a lot of bugs and regressions), and out it went. Already, some of the un-looked-for crap that Chromium 64 dealt has also been patched in a minor update, and there is still more that can be patched (by Vivaldi) but some such patches will have to be unwound when 65 comes out with mainline fixes. And there is a little more that Vivaldi simply can't fix on its own. It's too integral to the 64 engine. There will continue to be the occasional bumpy release like this until Vivaldi can afford a much larger development team. For security reasons, if for nothing else, Vivaldi is constrained to release on a schedule close on the heels of Chromium insofar as it can. It sux, but that's life.

@gwen-dragon Can confirm that. magnet links now open at least on 64 bit.

@mrelwood This is not the first, but the second time Mac has been so difficult to write for (in spite of the fact we have 'way more Mac devs than the general population has Mac users, per capita) that there has been no Mac auto update. That's because it's not ultra-safe at the moment to update Mac. Of course, if one were to actually read the "Download" section of the blog... Just don't blame me if you lose your passwords...
-
I hope latest Chromium won't be blindly accepted into vivaldi in the future. Wait some time, let the problems emerge, wait for fixes to be in place, then integrate into vivaldi. The current status is unacceptable, breaking production app for the whole community...
-
I think there's also a trailing bug that when a magnet url is shown in the URL field and you copy it, it is copied with duplicate 'magnet:' string. Probably the missing // confuses something...
-
@ayespy said in Magnet Links are Broken:

I couldn't care less about losing passwords, it really doesn't matter to me. But there simply is no download available, there is no build. Maybe I'm blind.

@luetage My bad. I was looking at the wrong Blog post.
