First! It's ok. I know you were all busy taking a break

Nordlicht

2nd with a break, without M3

npro

3rd! Uff, I need a break now...

...what? ability to move Speed Dials into folders ? Some will be really happy about this

Ruarí

@npro: Yeah, they will!

Nice feature to drag into SD folder. But now the bookmark was stuck in folder.
Waiting for more drag&drop from/to speed dial folder.

I wonder if this one will actually launch for me? [not yet come thru from 'herecura', so atm speculation is all i have].

louaymd

Nice idea!

Did you also make any changes to the address bar from Stable? Autocomplete seems a lot more responsive (no more suddenly changing the suggestion before pressing Enter, and faster in general).

Thanx for da updates!

I support you breaking the URL into separate sections in html, even though I don't personally like browsers trying to obscure something as important as the URL. But I can override it in CSS anyway.

Couple things:

Use a more specific class for the scheme/protocol part instead of just UrlFragment--Lowlight. It would help avoid using stuff like :first-of-type which is ugly. Suggestion: UrlFragment-SchemeFragment.
Use the vars from ShouldHighlight instead of directly applying Lowlight/Highlight to each span. For instance, use UrlFragment-PathFragment and give it colour directly. Easier to style for modding.
Add a separate class for query fragments to allow these to be styled independent of the path.

I understand this is a very much WIP at the moment, so there will likely be more changes coming, and I'll have to adapt my CSS to these.

Some more things:

Setting "Startup with = Homepage", homepage being the Start Page, will set the URL to vivaldi://startpage/ and leads to ERR_INVALID_URL before the first page loads. Reported as VB-71014.
VivaldiHooks seems to break new profiles including using a clean --user-data-dir (not your problem I know...)

Thanks for the fixes! However, one issue was introduced in this build.

Disabling "Highlight Base Domain in Address" does not work; browser considers it permanently enabled. Issue was not present in 2009.3

@TbGbe Bitterly disappointed here. Whilst the new snapshot is still not yet available in Arch, it is available in SparkyLinux... but all to no avail:

Trace/breakpoint trap

So, ditto as for

i still remain stuck on 3.3.2001.3. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

@Ruarí -- VB-70690 remains unsolved. I have just now sent a reply email with this update to the Bug Reporter.

May be this issue is a bug.

@Steffie This issue comes back and strikes you like a boomerang.

Not certain if this is related somehow.Whenever i return to my homepage the URL is highlighted blue.Not a world ending issue but thought i would inform the forum.
i have attached a screenshot.

I have a warning that domain is not full in address bar, what's that all about?
