Stabilization starts for 2.5 – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1525.30

@ian-coog: What are you talking about? If you don't want to face any bugs then the Stable release is recommended for you. The snapshots are for advanced users for exactly what we're doing here: chasing bugs to release a better version to their final users! If you see a bug, then report it to the dev team gently instead of blame them.

@nutcracker didn't notice any difference but I have mine edgy anyway (corner rounding disabled) because it fits perfectly with my flat OS (Windows 10). Maybe it reset your corner rounding setting? Can't you edit it back? Also you can hide the extension bar using the 3 dots to the right.
-
@iAN-CooG Your tone is actually more broken than any snapshot since 1.0 has been so far... bad day today? or anger issues?
-
When we fix extension icons, can we now make them fully hideable too, without sending them to a three-dot menu?
-
Thanks for the new build. Besides the rather annoying already reported replication of the extensions on the Address Bar, I can no longer
move the extension icons andchange their order, they revert to the default order after a restart.
As a temporary "fix" for the extensions, I have enabled the toggle and hidden them. I'm somewhat OK with them in the Address Bar, as long as we get to hide them in either location. -

"If you want to face fewer"
-
@luetage: The fact that "older" bugs (like waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in the 2.3 era) are no longer considered regressions is not that much of a laughing matter. lol.

You must be joking, take 2.4 stable for example, the first 2.5 snapshot released the day after (or even the same day, I can't remember clearly) took care of the bugs that sneaked in the 2.4 release, meaning that 1 day more delay could have granted a better (with less bugs) 2.4 stable.
Usually every new snapshot is way better than this, I'm just disappointed such visible defect didn't stop devs to show it publicly, a week more of waiting for internal tests and refinements is better than having to face more bugreports. -

yes, I feel like a very disappointed father, I know my guys at Vivaldi are better than this

[Regression] Checking “Allow in Incognito (Private Window)” makes the extension icon disappear VB-51905
Finally! However, extensions still move out of their place when changing one of the options.
Edit
Extension popups are still broken. How has this not been fixed yet?I can confirm that behavior. I think it is probably because the last clicked popup never unloads until a new button is clicked.
-
Why is a Private Window sometimes called an Incognito Window?
(VB-45858) Terminology: Private Window or Incognito Window
Is there any difference between them? If not, why use two words just to confuse users?
-
@Joy I confirm.
But it could be a useful bug, in addition to restoring the right behavior you could add a new "Save image" command that uses this bug, i'd delete another extension. -

I don't think there was much chasing necessary to find this particular bug, which is a regression from the previous snapshot and not mentioned as a
Known Issue
. Not to be speaking for anyone, but I'm guessing that is the bases of the complaint which I think is pretty valid.2.3 and 2.4 stable are unusable for me, I finally moved on from 2.2 to these snapshots with much more success.
-
Folders in the bookmark bar still use a different context menu. This is not consistent with any other place in the browser.
-
@AltCode Are you referring to the order of the first three items compared to the link context menu and Bookmark Panel context menu?
-
@Pesala Not exactly. The context menu in folders are distinctively different from everywhere else in the browser; they take far more space and use a different font.
-
@AltCode This is what mine look like.
-
Well, if nothing else, this snapshot has at least allowed me to realise I have a problem and need to uninstall some extensions because I don't use more than half of them kek.
also huge praise for the save button fix, needed that one badly -
@Pesala Mine look like this (this is only regarding the bookmark bar):
For a bookmark inside a folder For a bookmark outside a folder Context menu appears as seen on the right everywhere else.
-
@AltCode How do you get the context menu with a dark theme like that? Is that only on Mac?
