Vivaldi 2.6 RC 1 – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1566.31

WhatsApp web still shows the "You must upgrade Chrome" message when put in a web panel. It goes away (and WhatsApp functions normally) until you restart the browser/unload the panel if you press the reload button (not the home button).

(Tested on both Win 10 1803 and Zorin OS 15.)

Does anybody confirm?

@newscpq I'm not sure if I can:

I open my main profile and then another profile (never use multiple windows for the same profile, so don't know if it's caused by profiles or windows)
when I close the second profile's window it sometimes crashes (the main profile closes with ~1s delay, on next startup both profiles open), sometimes it's OK

I can not confirm.

Hmm with this particular build sometimes when I close a private window containing tabs while I also have already some tabs opened in a regular window, the whole browser closes, both windows. (I could assume it is a crash too, but without any OS error report). I 'll check the crashpad folder next time it happens, cause strangely enough there are many .dmp files in that folder around the same time @23:50 a couple and @23:52 one more.

Also it crashed one time when I tried maximizing a video or trying to fly to a random time in the video.

@npro If you are having crashes randomly, file a bug. You will get an e-mail attach the crash log.

Exactly that happened for me yesterday. It shocked me, coz i thought this bug was fixed long ago.

@Steffie I've had a bug open for this issue for a while now (VB-51026) but it's one of those weird glitches that doesn't reproduce consistently.

@npro Can confirm. Usually happens on Youtube. I'll get a lot of dead birds and sometimes a completely crash of Vivaldi. Yesterday i couldn't restart Vivaldi after a crash. Vivaldi instances showed up in Windows task manager for about a second and then closed again. I had to reboot Windows and, hurray, it worked again but i lost all my tabs...

npro

Thx @asdfzombie.
Another thing I'm noticing with this build is that when I use "close other tabs" in random sites, this creates a ~1MB crash .dmp file in the crashpad folder. Example page https://tl.net/ , open this, then a new Speed Dial tab, then while at the new Speed Dial tab hit "close other tabs". Happened in a private window as well but I can't test it right now with a clean profile.

/edit: Tried it with a clean profile now and it isn't happening, seems like this build broke some compatibility with an extension I suppose, could be with ublock origin? I'll see about sending the .dmp file for further examination.

I just noticed in this RC1 version, trying to restore uBlock Origin settings from file it's impossible, because the confirmation pop-up disappears by itself not allowing me to confirm the import from txt.
I had to update from the 1.19.6 to the newer 1.20 version of uBO manually because it was 2 days that the extension was updated in the Chrome webstore but still didn't got updated automatically in Vivaldi.
I saved the settings as txt, uninstalled 1.19.6, reinstalled 1.20 from the webstore, and found this sad surprise.

Summary: Restoring uBlock Origin Settings from the saved backup impossible, confirmation box disappears immediately
Key: VB-54473

I managed to open about 200 tabs in a window (without any kind of hibernation) to test how the performance are going.
Well, the browser was still quite responsive. So, test passed

Zero lags while opening new tabs, wonderful! However, when I close a tab, with like 50% chance background music from youtube tab makes dying robot noise for a second instead of music

Is it possible to live with less tabs open?

Japanese Microsoft IME inputs on Windows were fixed in the last Snapshot but Chinese Microsoft IME inputs are still broken. Hope VB-54226 is fixed for the final release as this is annoying for users of Vivaldi in other countries!
