Snapshot fix for DRM'd content on macOS — Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1692.4
-
It is said that various performance improvements are done. However I noticed worse performance after latest stable and snapshot versions. Every click in UI has bigger delay than before, speed dial page is opening slowly, picture is painting in half. Animations are struggling now with just 3 tabs opened, before it was struggling when 5 and more tabs opened. I guess it is something with Chromium, because I noticed slower opening start page also on Edge Canary, few builds ago.

@christiehmalry took a risk the flag was unset but as a heads up, i got away with the ''invert everything but images'' dark theme flag but if you just set it to ''enable'' it glitches out and you'll need to reinstall (windows 10, 64 bit, ryzen 2700x, gtx 1070ti )
sorry but where is that "invert everything but images" setting you're talking about?

@iAN-CooG hi sorry for being vague , the first was the one i got away with it applied a nice dark theme to the internals the dark reader extension couldnt reach it had some visual ticks so i tried the second just 'enabled' and that gave me a black screen on one window and a white on another

@christiehmalry sorry had already edited it when you posted

@rseiler I agree, i cant say how long it will continue as i haven't re-booted the machine yet but i'm still getting chrome notifications after updating to the new snapshot with the flag missing.

@aronand: Please do, and thank you. I spend most of my day doing web-dev, but I truly love Vivaldi and the wholesome experience it offers. Right now, using devtools is a no no, so I keep having to open an instance of Chrome/Chrome Canary open for that purpose.

Uh, very strange. UI freeze - signinificant cpu utilization -> it takes a time to unfreeze. Two different ntb, win10/7. Back to fluently working 1657.11

The
sudo chmod -R +r /var/opt/vivaldi-snapshot/WidevineCdm
does the trick, if you do it straightaway. I ran the update-widevine on a couple installations before doing that, and messed things up.
It works fine now on deb 9, 10, and manjaro. In manjaro, the lib is under ~/ -
For some time now, vivaldi has been working with strong delays, regardless of whether it's stable or snapshot. For example, turning on a page shortcut on the home screen is very random and once it opens quickly, it opens up to 5 minutes. I don't know, maybe Vivaldi is regressing?

New error pages? Got this by ctrl-clicking
https://
in addressfield when on this forum — but happens on everyhttp
orhttps
page I tested.
-
@potmeklecbohdan Something's fishy with ctrl+clicking on the protocol. For me it searches "https" using my default search engine.
-
@LonM Disable searching in addressfield and try again. Do you see that, or just a normal error page like if you'd type it manually?
-
@slake: If you are running update-widevine manually for a system wide install you must add the switch
--system
-
@potmeklecbohdan Yeah, if I disable searching in address field I get an error on ctrl+clicking the protcol.
-
@LonM But is it white, or black?
-
@potmeklecbohdan Mine is white. Do you use an OS-based dark mode?
-
@LonM Ah, that was it. I don't have “Prefer dark theme” on, but use a dark one. But it's strange that if I type it manually, I get a light one.

Default thumbnail replaced custom thumbnail for YouTube
Same here, not for the first time after an update; not a big deal but I do check it each update now.
