Address bar performance improvements – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1525.4

[AltCode]

It seems like Vivaldi has adapted some of Chrome's features, like the folder popups or Hold ⌘Q to Quit; this one is a particularly annoying feature imo, and there is currently no way to disable it from vivaldi://settings, so one must go to chrome://settings to do so.

Empty favicons seem to be displaying wrong when viewed from the menu bar:

Menu Bar	Bookmarks Panel/Tab

Also the following still haven't been fixed:

• Enabling or disabling an "extension option" still hides the icon when it shouldn't (VB-51188)
• Hibernated icons are still dimming even if setting required to do so is turned off (VB-50950)
• Trash icon does nothing while in guest mode (VB-51161), not sure yet if this is intentional (If it is, why not just hide the icon?)
• I still can't open/close extension popups properly. Here are two videos that I made back in 2.4 RC 2: https://forum.vivaldi.net/post/280608 (VB-51190)

Cosmetic Windows Background Image bug... been there since the function was introduced:

@altcode: Yes I know but there is so much unused unnecessary free space which could be made more compact. Those Popups where under so many others a big reason why I ditched Chrome from my drive.

[AltCode]

@Thot I agree, the new popups are definitely taking too much space, but this is the kind of loading that I was referring to (Note: this slow loading is also prominent when right clicking the back button, and it is quite annoying there).

[Thot]

@altcode: I never had that much Sites in one Folder. This kind of loading I had after I resetted and reactivated the data on the server, so the Icons had first to be loaded from the server.

i can say that the issue VB-51086 is fixed too. But whatsapp still doesn't work on webpanels. It only works on normal tab page with and agent switcher.

I can say, that I use WA without UA changer (at normal tab)

Haven't been on in long time Dad got killed two semis and I spent 4 weeks in hospital so really with this intro to new year I really don't need to get flamed.

When I download a file I always use "save as"and file-manager pops up for me to specify folder,.. NO more just default past few snapshots IF I kept up.

@Dovelove It's a temporary bug.

[AltCode]

@Ayespy Temporary is redundant to this statement. No bug/defect should ever be permanent.

Great visual improvements in speed dial! But more polishing is needed. Start page "toolbar" (i.e. speed dial-Bookmarks-History) is taking too much (vertical) space. The same applies to the sub-folder headings (when opening a "parent" tile to see its sub-tiles). Also the tile description fonts must be set to match the tile size. Those minor things aside, start page has become really attractive!
PS I'm still struggling (with the trial and error method) to fit images to the tile frame.

@joao-rossa
WhatsApp isn't working here neither (Kubuntu 18.04).

Any suggestions how to fix it?

Im just getting the error:
Whatsapp works with google chrome 36+.

Thank you in advance!

Was the new globe favicon made by Vivaldi devs or Chromium devs?

[Michael_from_Germany]

The multiraw mod script does not function anymore. Why?

[Michael_from_Germany]

@Michael_from_Germany multirow mod script is meant

[luetage]

@Michael_from_Germany You should ask about it in the according topic.

Thanks for verifying that the download issue is still there. Guess I'll be skipping this snapshot as well.

[Ayespy]

@AltCode I added "temporary" to it, as the "NO more" ("It used to be this way, and now it's that way") idiom referenced by the user tends to imply permanency in change. "This used to be a lake - No more. Now it's a puddle."

I wanted it to be clear it won't be left that way.

@altcode: Rimworld rules!

@Phosphorus Not as much as Rimmerworld.

One thing the minor Chromium update did was fix the "more posts" issue on Facebook. Awesome, that was a real bugger.
