@npro I couldn't agree more.

I can't watch videos on Amazon after installing this build. They give me this link for "assistance":

https://www.amazon.com/dv/error/7031Scratch that. I did some testing in Firefox and Google Chrome, both on my Win 10 system and in a Win 7 VM, and I can't play Amazon video anywhere. I don't think this has anything to do with Vivaldi.

@GT500
Can confirm.Playback in Edge works fine for me.
I get the same error on Win 10 since this snapshot.
Works again, so not a problem with Vivaldi.Btw, Vivaldi not playing amazon prime videos in (full) HD is still an issue.
-
@sid6dot7: Funny, I didn't test in Edge. Just Firefox and Chrome, and it didn't work in either of them. For now I'm assuming that Amazon's having issues today.

@GT500
Yeah seems that way, as it works again for me. Still no hd playback tough, which is definitely an vivaldi issue. -
@LonM So that you can check in the Guest Window if the download was successful, how long it it will (guestimated) take etc. and that you can find the file to e.g. copy it to a stick and delete it from your hosts (person) computer. Basically guests windows are for guests (persons), or if you are using a foreign computer running Vivaldi (or any other Chromium based browser which has profile support) to clean up behind yourself
-
@QuHno But you can't check any of this; nothing shows up in the download panel when using a guest window.

@LonM I've seen many more problems with the guest profile.
- The closed tabs icon is shown, but it does absolutely nothing.
- Private windows can also be opened, but they are completely redundant in a guest profile.
- You can activate the bookmark bar for some reason.
- The home button is there, but in my opinion there is no reason it should be in a guest profile.
- As it should not remember anything, it might be by intend
- Not quite, because Private Windows still share some information with normal windows by design
- Huh? How do you do that? I've tried it in this snapshot but it didn't work. If you can reproduce it with this snapshot, please file a bug report
- It leads to the Vivaldi website. Maybe this is by intend for people who don't know Vivaldi yet, like Guests (person).
-
@AltCode OK, I row back - I only used guest windows for the occasional checks but never worked with them - but at least you can see at least that the download is still active in the icon - the horizontal bar is animated
-
@para-noid: I used to get them upon updating on the snapshot channel, but they're gone for me now.
-
I don't know what counts as a "serious" regression, but I think VB-52698 (Speed Dial thumbnails are not refreshed properly) is a regression since 2.4.
-
When middle clicking on links, often Vivaldi opens them in multiple tabs (2 or even 3) in background. Reporting in case nobody else did it yet.
-
too late, they already rushed 2.5 out...

@lamarca what are the new features compared to 2.4? can't really remember what was added since then. I would love to hear about the webpanels scrollbar issue.
I told you the surprise on the day before, didn't I.
For the records: It's a surprise for me as well, just in case.@Gwen-Dragon You can lock the post now

I disagree.
A private window should share bookmarks and so on, just not add anything new to the existing profile.
A guest session should not show/add anything from/to the curent profile.
In both cases being able to see recently closed tabs is fine (until the window is closed). Not being able to do that is very frustrating. Especially so when you can see the closed tabs button is there - teasing you, but you can't use it.
