Let's not forget SD thumbnails, which for whatever reason are not synced yet either
I can understand the devs being worried about potential storage issues if thumbnails are allowed to sync. Especially with bookmarks thumbnails, as these can easily go into the hundreds of MB per user if they have a lot of bookmarks.
The best solution would be to allow us to set SD thumbs to a net URL instead of a file, and then sync these as part of the config. Vivaldi could then download and cache the images locally in
VivaldiThumbnails
, ensuring users will have the same SD thumbs on all installs. -

Had the problem on others extensions too
Aha, you've just reminded me --
Cookie AutoDelete
also has this problem. -
@Steffie Ok i found another one, i'm using a modded version of a now discontinued download manager (it makes download manager similar to firefox that has a button with a small panel) and when there's just a couple downloads it works just fine but once a certain amount of downloads are present on the panel (completed downloads count) the chances of the issue being triggered increases.
I think the issue is caused by the extension panel re-calculating it's size after the panel has been opened and doing it too slow (umatrix when lots of connections are made, download manager with lots of downloads on the list).
Edit: Maybe is a chrom* bug after all:

That will really vary from user to user. In my case, for example, the vast majority of my thumbnails are well below 10 KB with very few exceptions.
If syncing thumbnails did exceed the hundreds of MB this could be solved by either telling the user that a thumbnail is too large to sync, or by alerting the user that a thumbnail must be compressed to be able to sync if it exceeds a minimum size.
-
@AltCode Mainly, thumbnails shouldn’t be generated unless (or even if) the bookmarks are in a speed dial folder.

@holly: Thanks. Try my best. Vivaldi is my passion. Thanks for your support.

@pesala: Hopefully it will not take that long now. As stated before, a number of us are using M3 every day. We continue to polish things and we continue to improve. There are still some bugs that we want to fix before going live, but not many.
With respect to import. We have said that the TP will not have import. That does not mean we will not have import later. I agree that import is really important for those of us with old accounts and POP in particular. Obviously we could delay more while we implement import, but we are keen to let you guys start playing with it.

@kahukura: Indeed. I would not use any other client myself. Been using it for a while now and a lot of the issues we have had are gone now. Still a couple of more left. We have a unique mail client. There are still some loose ends, but it does most everything I need from a mail client.
The feed reader gets better each day as well. Been doing some polishing there. It has been ready for a long time, but still being polished.
The calendar is unique as well. You will see it soon.

I used to use Opera feeds all the time, but since switching to Vivaldi I hardly look any more. I recently started checking again every week or so, and I've noticed that nearly all the feeds now have issues in Opera - most have issues with the linked content (I have to do an extra "open in Vivaldi" step each time), many others just stopped updating months ago.
So I'm looking forward to getting back into feeds in Vivaldi, but I'm also worried that RSS/Atom has gone out of fashion over the last few years! (If it has then I hope there is some other way to get a website to feed into Vivaldi...).
As you say many of us need to import mail going back decades, so this is something that M3 must be able to do eventually. If you promise that will happen some time then I'm happy to spend a while using Opera for final storage with Vivaldi as the main mail/feed client (accessing the last few weeks of messages left on the server by Opera). As long as it doesn't take another five years before Opera 12 can finally be retired on my main system!

There has definitely been a decline, but it's not dead yet!
Many blogs still use wordpress, which automatically gives them feeds without any effort. I still use it for lots of blogs, and to subscribe to youtube channels without needing an account. Some services like github (and I think reddit did this, though I havent used it in a long time) also offer RSS feeds for their personalised user feeds.
-
My experience is that there is a lot of feeds out there. Maybe there is less talk of them, but they are still there. Most news outlets have news feeds, it seems. The nice thing about using feeds like this is that there is no AI. You just get the news you subscribe to. There is nothing in the background looking at what you read in the client, suggesting what else you read.
We all want import and it is clearly on our list. I would not think it should take that long, although there is some work to be done. Some months is my best guess. Clearly it is easy with clients like M2. Others may be harder and require an export to a readable format first. The nice things with both M2 and M3 is that the mails them selves are stored as text.
-
@lonm: When I check, I normally find feeds. You mentioned Reddit and I found this article:
https://www.howtogeek.com/320264/how-to-get-an-rss-feed-for-any-subreddit/
I quickly added the Vivaldi Browser Reddit as a feed. Works like a charm.

- It is best to start a new thread in the appropriate OS forum regarding bugs. Try a forum search first for Twitch.

I can not edit my previous comments.
Maybe that is why the update is coming »
"On Wednesday 7th October at 7am UTC, we will update Vivaldi's servers. We expect it will take up to 6 hours. During this time there will be some downtime on the Forum, Sync and Community Blogs (Webmail is not affected). Thanks in advance for your patience." -

@pesala:
Thanks for your greeting and answer/suggestion/advice, but I know all these stuff.
If I can not report multiple issues/bugs in a comment, then I will use the "Bug Report" form for each or send an e-mail with all of them.The bookmark search can not find the specific link, because it haven't got the searched word in its name or url (as I mentioned earlier), select and stay in focus on the folder/subfolder is not possible and I can not find manually the wanted favorite. With you words I can not select the bookmarks and delete the search field, because I can not find the bookmark, just its folder (no bookmarks listed) which contains the searched word. Only I can do to find these bookmarks is to search for them go from the root folder trough all the path where I suspect them to be. And this method is very time-heavy and makes the search field in the bookmarks useless in these kind of cases.
The Notes Panel is already hidden (this solution is only visual and I never had problem with hiding or deleting things from the Side Panel), but the Notes still in the Start Page next to the right to History. The Start page looks like this »
Bookmarks - History - Notes
...and under them there are the Speed Dial.
And only I can do to NOT use the Notes is to unbind all its shortcuts, but the "Copy to Note" item is still in the context menu and its working correctly. If we have an option to disable Notes, then all its stuff should be gone. No more miss-clicks, accidentally used shortcuts, etc. to save something into the Notes, and it will be gone from the Start Page as well.
Stay safe and healthy.

@pesala:
Thanks.
I could edit the comment here, that is why this is empty (accidentally deleted all the word, instead of just edit the comment in it and saved it without noticed the empty field xD )»

I tried to edit them trough the forum, but I had no luck yet. There is no option to edit for me.update: I reopened the forum and the "Edit" and "Delete" options are here now. I will use them next time.
Again thanks for the help @Pesala !ps.: Hmmm... Some comment have the "Edit", "Delete" and sometimes, when the comment was edited multiple time, then "Edit History" as well and some comment have do not have these "Tools" in the context menu of the post. Is there, for example, an hour time limit to do actions with our posts? Hmm...

[CRASH?] hovering "Erase all" cookies' button crashes Vivaldi
Try this:
- start Vivaldi in private mode (i.e. vivaldi --incognito)
- open preferences
- search for cookies section (type cook, into the search field)
- hover, on the "Delete all cookies" button two, or three times OR click and double click here, and there into the cookies settings (even in empty areas: where there are no radio buttons, or buttons, or settings to choose - just click here and there)
This should crash Vivaldi. Crashes only, in private mode, here.
Anyone confirms?
[Vivaldi, on Win10x64]
