List layout for visual tab cycler – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1.16.1246.7
-
I absolutly love this snapshot! Especially "Tile new tabs in a tab stack".
Great job everyone -
@masterleo29 yep, new features AND bugfixes, it's always xmas earlier every snapshot release.
-
Tile new tabs in tab stacks changes the Tiling order. I use a 1200x1600 portrait monitor, so only horizontal tiling is useful for me.
- Stack two tabs
- Tile them horizontally
- Open a new link in the tab stack
- Tabs become tiled vertically
Similarly, closing one tab in a horizontally tiled stack or group, reverts to vertical tiling. Reported bug earlier as:
(VB-41671) Tiling Changes Orientation on Restart or Reopen Tabs
-
The tab scrolling as a list is nice and makes the thumbnail listing useless, but I observe (in both cases) that there is a "hesitation" in changing tabs. Sometimes although you see the site in the list preview, you actually have to click on the tab listed to go there. In other words, the previewed tab is not always synced with the actual one in the background.

@minegroasprilla You seem to be obsessed with benchmark speed tests. Why? It is not the most important factor for fast browsing. Please read this thread and follow the discussion on Reddit if you wish.

Lastpass still doesn't work if you click on the lastpass icon in a login form field. So you have to go up to the lastpass icon on the top of the browser window.

works great so far. but installation did not quite work as easy. tried to install snapshot besides regular version, which did not work (installation aborted, something about closing running instances of vivaldi). did that, did not work. uninstalled regular version, rebooted the pc, ran ccleaner, still does not work, other versions (even reinstalling the regular version did not work). when i changed the directory to install the browser in, i got another error.
turns out the installation did not have admin rights so something inside the file system blocked the installation/upgrade. ran the setup as admin, worked flawlessly. maybe integrate that into the regular setup process, since the problem has not been another running instance, as the error message suggested, but the installers rights.
also the tab titles are a bit too big. i dont know if their size can be adjusted in user settings, either way: some letters are cut at the bottom. e.g.: the lower case g (fresh installation, tabs at top)
btw: i installed this snapshot because it has sync. is there a forum section/topic about the whole sync thing? i would like to read about suggestions, updates etc. the latest things i found where months to years old.

YESSSS!!!! With "List layout for visual tab cycler" another super great must have feature from Opera is back :-). Finally I can use the tab cycler again (with lots of tabs all other variants are horrible). So with this spirit bring back more and more features that we used to love back at opera days ;)!

@xtremalraven: This has been a bug since the right-click-scroll tab switcher was implemented. I hate it when the mousewheel swaps tabs if I'm hovering over the tab bar, but if I disable this, the right-click-wheel function stops working.
-
@bratetsvolk Use the Bookmarks Menu Instead. It works fine with the mouse or the keyboard access keys: Alt+B, B, V, B for example to submit a bug report (for my bookmarks menu below).

Great to see an implementation of this. Thank you very much.
Already curious to see what the final version of this will look like that will make it into the stable version. -
And already do I have the first question regarding the behavior to be expected once releasing the right mouse button:
- should I expect the browser to open the according tab where I "came to a stop" and released the right mouse button
- or is the left mouse button click currently the user action required to change to that tab? (Or might something be interfering?)
- testing VSS currently on Win7/64; not compared to Linux behavior yet

Question #2 re:
Clarify that deleting storage might also delete extension data in the UI (VB-41620)Does this include things such as e.g. uBlock Origin's/uMatrix etc. rules and settings? Thanks in advance.
-
@rogerwilco In Opera 12, the page is activated on releasing RMB, and in Vivaldi it does sometimes. Releasing Ctrl when using Ctrl+Tab to cycle always activates the tab selected in the list.
-
@helsten2 Or, the way i prefer, with mouse: Right-click hold + wheel-scroll. Lovely.
-
@luetage I really like it this new way. Previously i could not use that feature, as it compromised my workflow. The new way seems to be full-simpatico for me.
EDIT 2 days later: Hmmm, nah, i found scenarios where non-floating panel still suits my workflow better. I'd like a toggle directly in the UI [or otherwise context menu] to toggle float on/off.

@ryanchuang Is not happening for me, in latest or recent snapshots. What happens for you in a virgin profile?

Thanks Devs, this is a lovely new Snapshot.
Bonus: Now the Qwant suggestions in the Search field work for me; they didn't in previous SS.
