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

Ayespy

@Pesala The image references current events.

@ayespy: I think is out of the competencies of a browser developer company. Do you agree with me?

Pesala

@bongyi I think you're making a mountain out of a molehill. The picture should cause no offence. It is an important part of history, and a current hot news topic.

Hadden89

@Pesala Agree. But nowadays it's always a risk to put any kind of "out of context" news in a post blog.

Is usually safer to use animal pictures.

Ayespy

@Hadden89 Animal pictures, landscapes and still life canvases. It is of course, never safe to acknowledge that anything is happening in the world. Where I live, mentions of the very real and catastrophic pandemic we have all been facing receive virulent and vitriolic cries of "hoax!" "fascism!" and "my rights!" Life is, apparently, politics.

I think that the image on the blog (from Wikipedia) does not advocate a certain political orientation, but an historical event related to human rights. I think this is what everyone should take as their own, regardless of their political or religious orientation.
A declaration against xenophobia and hatred has and should also be supported by Vivaldi, without raising suspicions of the affiliation of a certain political party.
The declaration of human rights was signed by most countries of the world (except the Vatican and some others)

uhm...

Here's my notes editor with zero mods, only 10% of the vertical space is being used

I've tracked the problem. There appears to be a conflict with this flag #enable-experimental-web-platform-features

@pesala: The Vivaldi's message is: If you want to use our fancy, great product, then have to read our political opinion. That's happend! A manipulation.
Please don't try to minimize the problem!

Ayespy Moderator:
Vivaldi has nothing to do with politics. Nothing.
@

Sorry, but in this case is not true.

Ayespy

@bongyi I think images are images, and images concerning current events are outside no one's competency.

Ayespy

@bongyi No one is making you read anything. Do you feel hostility toward the image? If so, that would be about you, not about the image. It is not doing anything.

It seems that no one agrees with you that there is a problem. If you have an issue, then please contact a community manager: @Gaëlle or @jane-n with a private message instead of stirring up the forum.

@pesala: OK! Thanks for the advice!

@AgentX

Your response is highly inappropriate. The poster merely stated that they did not appreciate the political tone of the image. Given current events, it's not difficult to draw a parallel since many are (falsely) trying to do just that. Whether you agree with them or not, they were at least able to express themselves without the vitriol you seem to think is proportional.

In fact, I think the way this discourse is going is exactly why they didn't want to see politics in the blog

Catweazle

When someone wants to see political intentions in a Wikipedia article about a historical character, such as Martin Luther King, from the outset he is already showing an attitude against what this character represents.
The only thing that this image of this article can show is Vivaldi's position against racism and hatred, which is laudable and not at all biased.
Hate and racism have nothing to do with political positions, but simply with the same human condition, which urgently needs a dream in a dehumanized society.

@Catweazle

The timing coincides with current political unrest that is masquerading as a racial issue.

And this is not the place for such discussions, which again, seems to be the concern of the person making the comment. We do have a lounge for that.

Catweazle

@sjudenim , OK, but a positioning was necessary, ignoring it can also lead to misrepresentations.

@pesala: I've reported it before.

Trinsec

This notes thing is certainly interesting, but I think I probably expected a bit more. As far as I can see you can only attach one URL to a note, what if you have a list of links that's relevant to it?
I also expected to be able to rightclick one of my bookmarks and see something like 'Add Note' or something like that.
Is the notes feature going to be further developed on? It certainly got potential, but at the moment I'm not 100% sure how I'd use it effectively.

Ayespy

@Trinsec It's rather like Evernote. It syncs, it allows you to put multiple notes in multiple files, but you can also attach pages to individual notes. Notes is like your personal note pad, but is NOT a way to annotate the browser.
