@Stardust What do you do when you stop using V?

When I stop using V I am starting to use F

[Catweazle]

I stop to use Vivaldi when Internet is down, my PC broken or I am dead.

When Internet is down you could open a pdf book and read it in Vivaldi
Or play the Vivaldia game!

My suggestion would be simply to restore from backup, then keep going.

Yep, very similar idea

Literally the only reason I made an account on this forum is to regularly check in on the status of this thread. ;-; I just need tab-to-search and I can move over. Until then, I'm stuck on other chromium options. It's the one thing holding me back.

I wonder what is that? Maybe video/gif?
I just don't use Chrome

[Awesomolocity]

@Stardust There's a gif / video on page 2 of that thread. c;

@Awesomolocity Aah, I thought there was only one post (3 page)

[Stardust]

@Awesomolocity well, looks like a very popular feature. Personally I don't use url bar for searching at all so this feature is not for me. I have several unimplemented Feature Requests very important for me, so

Lack of page translations, missing omnibox API, non-pretty IDN (localized, i.e. non-English URLs) display, and some minor Chrome plugin incompatibilities are the main reasons I still use Chrome on a regular basis.

It is coming soon. You can enable it in vivaldi://experiments or use the latest snapshots.

This is a very old issue. Fixing it may have some security issues.

[..] missing omnibox API [is] the main reason[..]

That's the only issue standing between me and Vivaldi...

[dsent]

@Pesala I know about the issue with IDNs, and the Vivaldi devs' stance. Making it behave like it is in literally any major browser might introduce a security issue, but not fixing it raises another security issue for anyone actually using IDNs (i.e., non-English speaking people), as it is quite impossible to distinguish between different IDNs when they are punycoded.

You don't even have to bother about switching a single letter to a similarly looking Unicode: you can switch the whole domain to a completely different domain, and nobody will notice.

[Catweazle]

@hawkflights , yes, but you can fix this problems with Trace (anti-fingerprint and more) and Site Bleacher, both OpenSource.
(Trace has a premium version with some secundary options if you want, ₤3,29 , but not needed, it's instead of donations)

• Integration of Whatsapp as a messenger included in the browser like in the Opera browsers.
  I know I can put Whatsapp into the side panel and all that, but sometimes it refreshes (without me giving the order to refresh passively, might I add) and de-syncs from my phone, there's also times when my notifications don't go off.

• Also, I don't know if there's a way to fix this but... the fact that autocorrection doesn't work with more than one language, that would also be very helpful to have since I frequently use at least two languages when writing. Seeing that squiggly line underneath everything I write even though it is correctly written is uncomfortable.

[Pesala]

dashriel Right-click in a text edit box, and select Use all your languages.

Cliquez avec le bouton droit dans une zone de modification de texte et sélectionnez Utiliser toutes vos langues.

This thread on Whatsapp might help, but I don't use it myself.

[Dashriel]

The text correction one actually worked, that was just me not knowing I had to activate it instead of it working by itself, but the WA one stands, thanks for trying to help tho :Dl

I was using it all the time... because I barely use YouTube on browser. When I started doing that more frequently, I realized how badly it performs, so now I only use YouTube on whichever other browser I have around (Edge, in this case), when I have to go to YouTube on the desktop PC.

That is why I felt disappointed when I saw that the latest update was all about themes and colors. I would expect performance and usability to be first priority.

[Catweazle]

@xuanma , I use Piped, a front-end (apart of ignore country and age restrictions, it skips even promotions and intros (optional in settings) in the video itself, I don't know how it do this) or Free_tube, a desktop-client, instead of YT, they are blazing fast. YT has a lot of trackers and other crap, which slows it down in browsers which blocks it.
Before I use instances of Invidious (Jewtube, CloudTube), but these don't play a lot of vids, because they conected anonymously to googlevideo and not anonymously to googleapis like Piped.
Disadvantage is that it lacks some functions yet, but has in return a lot of privacy settings, proxie included.
