Chromium update and status bar clock – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1843.5

[Ayespy]

@AlesPG There's a reason for that. The people who invented Opera are inventing Vivaldi, now that Opera has changed its philosophy.

[AlesPG]

@ayespy: hey, i am not talking about philosophy here! i am talking about nice little original features that improves the user experience, nothing else. and opera, despite their many cons, is doing a great job there.

i know original opera team is making vivaldi, thats why i am here. but those days, opera was a reference in browsing history and invented many things that are standards now. current opera have kept being innovative in that matter, and vivaldi is not, that's all i say.

[Ayespy]

@AlesPG Opera has a 20-year head start. Vivaldi is definitely innovating. It is producing capabilities literally no other browser, and certainly no other Chromium-based browser has. Opera has a 200-person development team - Vivaldi, about 20. So this early in the game, it is still a bit slow going. And since the original Opera had exclusive control of every layer of its own code, unlike Vivaldi now (since they have to use Chromium's engine), innovation was actually easier, even starting out with a small team (which they grew to over 200 devs). You are not comparing apples to apples.

When putting the clock further to the left, most of it just is covered. Wanted to bug report, but idk how to add images there, so I thought that it's easier this way.

Status bar clock seems to show time with AM/PM notation, which is wrong for my locale (though the Downloads panel has the same problem).

Anyway, I noticed another problem in the 2.12 snapshots - Twitter's old UI (accessible with User-agent switcher set to Opera 12.14) is partially broken: the Like button doesn't work, videos don't play and you can't answer polls. This problem isn't present in 2.11.

@ender85 set Vivaldi language to English (UK) instead of English (US)
This will set all the hours and dates in Vivaldi to use English notation instead of American.

Reddit is semi-broken for me too as it seems to be for other folks - no subreddits load in the sidebar, my profile fails to load as well. Incognito doesn't fix it. It seems to be okay in 2.11 stable and in Chrome stable, so I'd say it's something with this snapshot specifically.

@iAN-CooG That's not a solution, time format should be independent of locale…
e.g. https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/24209/option-to-change-date-and-time-format?_=1583745205685

@jumpsq You can reply to a bug report and attach an image. For me, it is fine with just an image. However, if I show only text, there is no padding to the left of the time.

[iAN CooG]

@luetage whatever you want to consider it, it's how you can achieve the result for now.

@iAN-CooG said in Chromium update and status bar clock – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1843.5:

@ender85 set Vivaldi language to English (UK) instead of English (US)
This will set all the hours and dates in Vivaldi to use English notation instead of American.

This works for time, but date separators are still wrong - Vivaldi should use system locale for date/time unless explicitly overriden.

@gwen-dragon: Curious about that one. Do you know what it's caused by? Apparently not Chromium 81 as it seems fine in Chrome 81 (and 82 for that matter).

"Known Issues
[macOS][Regression] Proprietary media is not working correctly (VB-64258)"

Linux too?

Both TuneIn and Spotify do not work on my 64-bit Linux install of Vivaldi. I have cleared both my cache and my cookies. I also try to re-enable the DRM flag in chrome://settings/content and "sudo chmod -R +r /var/opt/vivaldi-snapshot/WidevineCdm", but it still did not work.

[starpaw]

This snapshot of Vivaldi totally unusable for me due to the tracking blocker issues reported by other users. Cookies are not being saved in certain instances. Newest Chrome/Chrome Canary using uBlock/Privacy Badger works fine.

That super programmers still can't figure out how to remove the PIP icon?
Learn from Firefox where programmers are much smarter than you, and everything was done correctly initially.
)))

[npro]

Is it Firefox or is it Slimjet? Decide then tell us, and don't forget the cake.

@ayespy: This worked for me, thank you!

[Akbalder]

On a fresh install, there is something strange with startup options: Vivaldi always starts with a google page (it may be chromium's homepage).
Setting the option to restart from last time, new page or my own start page doesn't do anything.

@Akbalder It's a known issue. Check out this post for a resolution.
