@dremlon: I just saw it but cannot update it from where I am. I'll see if I can find someone to fix it

@jacekn You are not alone: https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/40056/swipe-to-close-a-tab
Be sure to upvote
Although I definitely prefer the design of the tab list to the more or less full frame tab list in other chromium based browsers. But yes, swipe-to-close would be nice.
-
@ruario It works / Thanks!

@dremlon: Fixed
-
Installed.
BTW: The ZenUI launcher on my ASUS ZenFone 3 Deluxe (ZS570KL) crashed when the snapshot finished installed, just like it did with the beta.

If we can't customize the search engines, then it would be best if we could have a way to turn off the Safe Search on DuckDuckGo. They filter way too many legitimate search results when Safe Search is on, even when just looking for innocent things (tech information for instance), and it drives me crazy when Safe Search is on. I know DuckDuckGo saves a cookie and retains the last state of this setting, however that doesn't persist in a private tab, which I happen to use quite frequently.
Also, I don't see why the default search engine needs a mandatory exception for location and notifications. It doesn't matter what search engine I'm using, they do not need to know where I am, and they don't need to be sending me notifications either. Fortunately I can take these permissions away in Android's settings, however I'd prefer to be able to configure Vivaldi for optimum privacy without needing to resort to tweaking Android settings.

Hope add gesture mode in before going final. Seriously the new chrome mobile version like copy cat of the Vivaldi mobile right. With the collection of tab.

No problem, it was just a bit surprising that suddenly another "new" version appeared, apparently.
After taking a look, I thought (secondly) - oops, the vivaldis suddenly became so busy(?!). an even closer look followed... -
[BUG] Speed dial (and then any other default folder into the bookmarks) doesn't translate to its' local language translation. This duplicates speed dial and every other default folder, existing in the bookmarks.Italian Vivaldi snapshot of my Desktop is in conflict with the english Vivaldi snapshot on my mobile.
As shown, Speed Dial translates to Selezione Veloce, in Italian. So, as soon as you sync Vivaldi mobile, you'll create an English duplicate in the bookmarks.
Please, fix this.

[BUG] can't login to https://vivaldi.com/blog/snapshots/the-first-of-many-vivaldi-android-browser-snapshot-1624-207/ using Vivaldi Mobile. Can you?
I'm writing this post from the forum.vivaldi.net/compose page, that is from the forums, and not from the snapshots' blog page, because the login process of the blog page redirects me here and when I reach vivaldi.com/blog pages again, I am not logged in.
Can't login into the blog's pages, can you?
Newscpq.

Hi,
when I search in play store for "Vivaldi Browser Snapshot" it shows all kinds of other browsers, but not the snapshot. Not sure if you can change anything here, it is most lily a play store issue.
Perhaps you can try to add some keywords.The direct link from the blog works now (after the known "not in your country" issue). (My country is Germany).
Thanks for Vivaldi, Dieter

I had the same thing. It's kind of strange that you can type in exactly the name of the software and it doesn't come up at all! I scrolled through the first page of totally irrelevant results then just used the forum link instead. (The link to the APK I mean... Play wasn't letting me install it at the time.)

This is a great day for Vivaldi community and mobile surfing experience in general. No doubt about that for me. However, as a spoiled Vivaldi user I would like to take a few minutes and write down all the biggest negatives about the beta.
-
First of all I was unable to set default behaviour for showing the version of Web pages for PC or callled Web for computers - Vivaldi icon - then tick the mark. It is incredibly frustrating to do it for all pages. Opera has an option called User agent where you can set the prefered web setting: for mobile/tablet devices or PC. This way you have all pages automatically loaded as full versions not mobile. This is something absolutelly crucial for me and I guess for many other users....
-
Tab bar should be more like PC version not showing only one active window - multiple tabs like on tablet so you can move themm from left to the right - some sort of interface options: tablet, mobile, PC
-
Speed dial need some reworking because the icons on tiles have pretty low res and when you combine it with very screen consuming speed dial front page - unable to set any dimensions or number of tiles used on sigle page.
-
Ability to create search engines
-
Vivaldi icon with setting should be adjustable to the left or to the right or hidden
-
More gestures besides just reloading the page
-
Tab grouping or open pages grouping - already requested in forums
Thanks many times again for this special day and your hard work. I can't wait for the future releases!

@newscpq I think it's proper behavior, the folders name is not binding and you can change it as you see fit or remove the folder completely if you don't need it, in your case using the English names on one device and the Italian names on the other device, Sync, rightly, interprets them as different folders and then creates them double.
-
No matter what country you may find it easier to find both versions of the browser with appbrain (a better front-end for the play store)

sync doesn't work...
I'm connected but stuck on the "sync initialization" forever -
@remi-flores I had sync problems on my Windows machine earlier today but it has since been resolved. Maybe your sync is also working now?
-
@mib2berlin: I can confirm that Notes duplication is still a problem. Every time I open the Vivaldi Android Browser, I see tons of duplicate notes reappear. I am on the latest snapshots on desktop and Android (mobile).
-
@gidbest
Hm, I got duplicates on desktop if I enable notes sync on Android therefor I disable sync for notes on Android after sync once.
No idea about release cycle of android but tile says "Many" so I hope it get fixed sooner or later. I can copy/past my desktop cache to mobile so not a biggie for me.
@Mods, should we report again to bug tracker?Cheers, mib
