I like the new All-Safe-For-Work feature

@JimTDI Right click on a button in the toolbar, hover ‘Customize’ and select ‘Reset Toolbar To Default’. Should bring the button into view.

Maybe it's becaause I added a dog-face thing a while back that displays the "V" version/Chrome Version?

JimTDI

OK, got it - now I can take a "Break". I had to reset the toolbar to the default under customize.

Good luck with that, I bet nobody will read it anyway if you don't even give an url for your blog. Don't expect the devs wasting any time on it if you don't use the actual bug report form, though.

@ian-coog: Well, they add drag&drop in what 14 days, i just edit that last month.
They got the link, i'm sure, but if you wanna read it, here you go. https://ipristy.vivaldi.net/2019/04/11/vivaldi-browser-wish-list/

I forgot to state that I am talking about the Mac version.

I notice in this release the old issue with clearing of the address bar before connecting is back. Not a big deal, but it just looks off and buggy. Guessing it's due to the changes in address bar and will be fixed "soonish"

i'm having multiple page crash and extension crash issues. and there's nothing i can do to replicate the page crashes. there's no video or audio playing, it will randomly crash a tab, and then other tabs come down with it.

for my extensions, two just refuse to load, tampermonley and lastpass. reloading both of those extensions causes just about every one of my extensions to crash but once all of my extensions have reloaded but those two things appear to be fine.

If you are asking me NOT to use my various distros' official repos, then sorry but no - i am not going to do that. I trust my repos implicitly. Tbh i have no idea why you [again] have scolded me here. Over the past two borked Snapshots i have invested copious amounts of my time investigating, troubleshooting, documenting & reporting. A little less stridency & more humility would be appreciated pls.

In case you have never noticed my posts' signature/footer, nor seen it provided in my bug reports, my primary PC's primary boot IS Arch.

Why do you now ask me to perform more testing for you, when the recent posts in this thread demonstrate that we forum members collectively already managed to pinpoint the strange cause of the problem for these last two Snapshots?

TL;DR:

if the user's Linux region is set to Australia, both Snapshots fail to launch with the identical error msg. In all my many tests this was distro & DE independent.
If the user then temporarily changes their region/locale to something non-Australia [eg, for me both UK & USA worked], the Snapshot successfully launches.
The user can then revert their region/locale to Australia, & happily the Snapshot continues to launch ok. Such shenanigans have not arisen for any prior Snapshot iirc.

If this breakthrough info, combined with the logs i've already provided you in my BR are insufficient, & you actually do want me to do more testing anyway, i don't know how i can. I have fixed my installations via the method above, so how would i go about "unfixing" them?

@Steffie
FYI

glen@Bionic:~$ vivaldi-snapshot --version | awk '{print $2}'
3.3.2020.3
glen@Bionic:~$ echo $LANGUAGE
en_AU:en_GB:en
glen@Bionic:~$ vivaldi-snapshot
Trace/breakpoint trap

After setting en_GB as default desktop and application language for the user and logging out vivaldi-snapshot now starts.

glen@Bionic:~$ echo $LANGUAGE
en_GB:en_AU:en

I see the changes in ~/.pam_environment...

@gorg: btw: as usable workaround i switch NewTab to SpeedDial, with removed SpeedDial items, TopShortcut, SearchField, Add+ button => this open new tab total empty, with also empty url...
