@joelyoung: Yes, I know that IT support’s first question when a problem is reported is: “Have you tried restarting your computer?”.
And I also do that when I think it is required. But here I have performance issues with one single application, after just 2-3 hours use. I will not reboot my machine 4-5 times every day, if I can use another application which can do the same thing (even if it is not my favorite software). -

If you're leaving things running (I assume you mean programs or applications or documents) and leaving them for the next day, you're guaranteed a sluggish and poorly working computer on a regular basis. Things will slow down that way.
Out of that fear, I close all applications daily . . . which is annoying. I used to use a Linux desktop machine, which was kept up and running for months and I often left webbrowsers, text editors, image viewers, etc. open.
Moving to the mac, webbrowsers (Firefox, Chrome, etc.) have planted constant fear in me, of using too much CPU if they are left open. (I'm not saying it's due to the mac. My move perhaps coincided with the growth of webbrowsers in power and capability.)
Just saying. No offense to anybody.

@JoelYoung @Para-Noid @helsten2 That's why Sleep function was invented in OS, to leave applications opened. I'm also leaving running everything. I don't want to spend time everyday with closing and opening 10+ applications. I reboot my work computer (at last it have SSD) maybe every two weeks, because network get confused between switching company and home network. I can leave my putty sessions opened and return back next day and I still have visible scrollback of commands. And I can continue with tons of examples. I'm constantly switching back to Opera (but some missing features can make me angry), it can survive OS Sleep, animations are smooth no matter how many tabs I have.

Restarting is a thing of the past, in Linux it even wasn't ever a problem, and Microsoft did also a good job by bringing its professional NT-line of operating systems to the casual user for that matter. I remember I used to have uptimes of over 3 months with Windows 2000 and it was awesome

In general, yes, but I've known a number of times when rebooting solved a weird glitch or problem. I don't reboot for weeks at a time if there are no problems. But yeah, it will never be a thing of the past. ...not on Windows anyway.

@npro Say it to the Win10...
-
@ROTFL hahaha yeah for Win10 I must make an exception, not that it's behind in performance or tech but in some things it's terrible, I agree

Hi.
Again the bookmarks are broken in this snapshot! No bookmarks in the sidebar and no bookmarks at the bookmark bar. At the setting 'select bookmark bar folder' there is nothing to select. All so the manage bookmark window is empty.
With 2.3.1440.37 is everything fine on Windows x64.
Hope there will be a solution ...
Regards, Steffen

I hope you guys aren't the idiots at work who leave their desktops and monitors burning 24/7 for absolutely no reason. Can't even be bothered to click shutdown and press a button when leaving work at night. It really makes me grind my teeth - when 1/10 people in an office of hundreds do this it's a HUGE amount of energy wasted!

@mossman No, we 're not, PC goes to sleep mode, monitor off

@gwen-dragon: FINALLY: I have identified the problem!
I had one pinned tab with Outlook Calendar (outlook.live.com, monthly calendar view).
This URL greatly affects Vivaldi's performance over time. And in the end Vivaldi will crash!I removed this pinned tab, and everything is running fine.

Hello Vivaldi team :). I'm currently trying to skin Vivaldi as Chrome, because think the GUI is a little dated and the current customization controls don't allow that much.
However, I ran into a problem with tab-width. It seems that this setting is fixed to 180px wide. I've tried to override this in a bunch of different ways, but I can't really find a solution. Any ideas? The same goes for tab-height as well, as this setting is set by javascript inside the browser.
-
@kabforks Messing with the shape or dimension of tabs will make you sad. I'm afraid this is one part of the browser, which is hard to modify.
-
@luetage: That's what I feared. I can see why they choose a certain max-width, to accomodate tab-previews and tabs on the left side. However... It's so small! I got big-ass wide monitor, and the tabs are so narrow :-(. Increase max-setting for tab-width?
-
Finally, I have created bug VB-49950 - Error timed out occured when navigating first time on pages while connected to VPN. I noticed it occuring from version 2.x.

Why you do this to yourself, Chrome's new design is horrible, it's Google trolling Mozilla about how cloning Chrome's (previous) look would make Quantum Firefox more popular lol, don't fall for that
