Vivaldi introduces a full-page Notes Manager and configurable menus to its browser for computers

These new features, while appreciated, put things so far behind that the only thing there will be time for in the next release is changing 3.1 to 3.2, 83 to 84, and clicking Compile. Seriously, with only a month left, the next one would be the perfect time for a catch-up bug-fix release (only). Not every version needs new features. Maybe every other one?

This is with startup setting set as "Last session"
-Vivaldi panel size resets on startup.
-The left bar in Granblue Fantasy (http://game.granbluefantasy.jp/) clips the game page content on startup. Returns to normal after reload.

@koolio: Hmm - on firefox here. Vivaldi won't let me log in for some reason.

Anyway - Firefox got forked from Mozilla because people felt the Mozilla browser had too many features built in and had become bloated and unresponsive. Not adding core features was a design goal.

This is great but it would be awesome if we could call the notes manager onto the screen like the developer console. Like if I am watching a youtube video or an online course, to have the ability to call the notes manager (preferably) at the bottom to take notes would be the best.Even then this is a great feature so thank you.

Saw the note about configurable menus and I thought it meant the right-click menu would be configurable but I see that it's just the browser's menu options. Is there any plans on giving the right-click menu the same configuration treatment?

Thought I use this channel to bring awareness to a somewhat simple but annoying bug (VB-60575) at least for our team.
tel:links still don't work.

Is a new version with political opinion?

Ayespy

@bongyi Vivaldi has nothing to do with politics. Nothing.

lamarca

@Ayespy Nothing in bold.

@Ayespy I think bongyi is referring to the image at the top of the Blog article

Unfortunately, Note Manager does not support RTL languages.

Maybe you should add ‘by default’ to your note now?

and I just realized that there is an instant crash when I close the Developer Tools from that page. Reproducible every time

Workaround is to close the page/window before closing devtools (they close automatically).

Is there any other way to access Notes Manager rather than through the Start Page? I do not use the Vivaldi Start Page. I have a 3rd party start page set up, so as far as I can tell, there is no way for me to use this?

A Former User

@donnacavalier You can:

go to vivaldi://notes
right-click a note (in the tree) in the notes panel, select open in editor
double-click a note (again in the notes panel tree) if it doesn’t have a URL associated

Maybe this was already mentioned in the five pages of comments on here, but I think the "what's new" page definitely needs to give a better hint how you see the full-page notes or edit the menus!

The images are too small to see exactly what's going on and I ended up on some review page (not at Vivaldi) to find out that menu editing happens at the bottom of the appearance settings...

I agree - it's weird that you have menu options under "tools" for bookmarks and history but not notes!

bongyi

@pesala: Absolutely yes. Unfortunately the blog article about Martin L. King at the top is a political standing actually connecting to BLM.
