@Michael_from_Germany I think he means /category/52/modifications.

[Speed Dial] Add search engine favicon to search box VB-51081

Now it's just left to add them to one of the most obvious places of all: the "Search with" context menu. There's even a nice space for them there already. Every time I see that, I think it's a bug.

Not thrilled with the re-install of Speed Dial items in my bookmark folder that I deleted long ago.
As much as I know and promote the support of Vivaldi Technologies I do not like the surprise of getting
something I already deleted.

On the other hand, if V gets funding by the mere install of these bookmarks I can support that.
I just don't like this type of surprise. I have my Vivaldi set-up my way. I like to have things "my way".

I hate typing my destinations in the address bar just because the Speed Dials are flimsy. Please think about being able to lock speed dials in place. Is that harder than it sounds, to tell speed dials not to move? Thanks V Team, I believe in you.

@Michael_from_Germany Ask the writer of the script in the topic it originates from, maybe they can fix it.

@Vividal you should check settings/start page then, there is a check box for you "Allow drag and drop reordering", uncheck it. You could have spared posting this rant

No Web WhatsApp here, complains about needing Chrome 36+ used to work fine with no work arounds, using Fedora 30 Linux

I reported page crashing VB-52446 which happened with this build and the one before.

@AltCode I filed a bug for this (VB-52231) and an option to enable/disable the Quit Confirmation has been added to Vivaldi's settings. You should see this in the next Snapshot build.

@AltCode Try assigning ⌘+Q to another command such as Clear Browser Data. I think the issue only affects Mac OS? At least, I could not get Ctrl+Q to quit.

@Para-Noid Vivaldi came up with a way to (hopefully, unobtrusively) update the default Speed Dials to reflect business relationships that come and go. If you deleted them and they came back, that (as far as I know) was not intentional. (Could they have been updated from another Vivaldi installation through Sync?)

I like to support Vivaldi (and use their bookmarks) but also have my own bookmark tree, and my own Speed Dial page. My solution was to move Vivaldi's default bookmark tree into a "Vivaldi Bookmarks" folder. That gets them out of the way, and they also still continue to get updated.

@ian-coog: Is this new?!

[Vividal]

@ian-coog: and why wouldn't it be mentioned in the changelog! That's another thing I've been wondering about. Why not all changes are listed on each build's page.

[Vividal]

OMG!!! Thank you so much for the dragging and dropping speed dials option!!!! I love you so much!!!!

@Vividal Please take note of V's community rule #7. No ALL CAPS please. Thank you!

[luetage]

@Vividal Because the feature didn't come out this snapshot – I think it was introduced with the other speed dial improvements.

[Ayespy]

@kahukura All better, now.

[Steffie]

@Vividal Palm, meet Face.

[Vividal]

@kahukura: I appreciate it!

[Vividal]

@ayespy: Thanks and sorry!
