Three Cheers to Vivaldi 3.4: a powerful and fun version arrives

@DAOWAce Amazon blocks Vivaldi, not the other way around. Also, I think I saw that Amazon will not respond to communications trying to resolve this.
Yes, web page context menus will be customizable as well, but as they are not under Vivaldi's exclusive control, the coding is much more challenging - looks like the underlying rendering engine will have to be patched, to do it.
-
@ayespy: Using Xfce on Mint, the window shows up as expected. There was an extra dialog box that was revealed upon closing.
That was with V-snapshot, V-snapshot w/another profile, and V-stable open, and the tab dragged to the alternate monitor.
-
@Vakkotaur I see. As I don't have a multi-monitor setup (anywhere, much less) for my Mint machine, I can't test for it. But when it was reported, testers or developers were able to reproduce it.
-
@DAOWAce Hi, as said by @Ayespy the problem is amazon's. I did a chat report and they told me they were going to work on it. I do not know whether what they have told me is true or not, certainly the more reports there are and the more hopes there are that they will make Vivaldi compatible.
So i suggest you make a report too. -
@Ayespy You don't need a multi-monitor setup to reproduce the bug. Just make the browser window smaller and drag a tab to a free space on your desktop.

I just did this and all it did was open the tab in a new window.

Would it be possible to add a VPN added in the future?

Any plans to be able to edit current page right click menu to add bookmark page in new new folder?
-
@laingman There are plans to allow editing of other context menus, but it may take a long time as it is a complex problem.
There are no plans that I know of to add a new folder while bookmarking a page. However it is done it would require several steps:
- Add a new folder
- Rename the new folder
- Add the bookmark
- Edit the bookmark
- The Bookmark Page dialog seems to me to be the right place to add Create a New Folder

OK. I have given up on folders and instead I just make all my bookmarks go to the main bookmarks folder then I do a search. It is to pretty close to being the same thing.
-
Bookmarks under Vivaldi context (alt) and you you can add a new folder and a new bookmark.

Congratulations guys. I love this browser and already replaced the "G" one in all my devices. Sadly Android does not allow to uninstall it for a 100% real replacement (I have nothing against "G" btw)
Maybe I am doing something wrong but to block ads in desktop version, the built in blocker is not that useful, specially for YouTube. I had to install the adblock extension from Store.
Thank you for coding Vivaldi. -

AdBlock & the native blocker in Vivaldi aren't really doing much differently when it comes to how they work. What determines which ads & trackers get blocked is the filters, and the vast majority of filters for all filter-based blockers (native or otherwise) come from third-party filter lists. If the extension you're using is blocking an ad that Vivaldi's native blocker isn't, just look at which filter blocked it and which list(s) that filter came from. Then add that filter list to Vivaldi's native blocker. Or, more simply, just add all the same lists you're using in the extension to Vivaldi's native blocker.
Also, I'm not sure which extension you meant exactly, but if you still prefer to use an extension on the desktop, I'd recommend uBlock Origin over any of the extensions with AdBlock in their name; make sure it's uBlock Origin, though, and not just plain uBlock. On Android, extensions are not yet supported, so thankfully Vivaldi includes a native blocker. You can do the same process of adding the filter lists you want to use on the Android version as well.
-
@BoneTone I think it's more complex than just equating filter lists. uBO, for example, has been around for a very long time and has had much work put into it from a lot of different angles. It would be shocking if Vivaldi, even with exactly the same filter lists, blocked equivalently.
-
@rseiler I don't think it would be shocking, especially if those were all just third-party filter lists. There are some extensions to the ABP filter syntax that uBO has implemented, and some parts that it doesn't support. But third-party filter lists are pretty much ABP syntax compliant as they want to work across all the extensions. Also, 1) the user wasn't referring to uBO but AdBlock, and 2) the uBO maintained lists are mostly just EasyList filters that have been optimized for uBlock Origin, that resolve broken sites, or circumvent anti-adblock measures, etc. If the issue can be resolved without using the extended syntax, it is.
I use uBlock Origin on the desktop, and have since it's first release. So I've got a lot of custom filters I've created in addition to the ~two dozen third-party filter lists I use. I've added all those to Vivaldi's native blocker on Android, and even before adding my custom filters, I don't recall seeing many, if any, ads.
There certainly are plenty of features missing uBlock Origin has built that Vivaldi's native blocker is missing, but those are things like dynamic filtering (not accessible by default), cosmetic filtering (which doesn't block anything, just hides it), the logger (which is immensely useful to see what uBO is doing, and resolving "broken" sites), etc.
After initial install, however, the lists are the only thing that determines what is blocked. So I think most users would experience very nearly the same blocking if they enable the same filter lists from whatever filter-based blocking extension they're using. I wouldn't expect the differences to be substantial.

Any news on a transparent scrollbar?
-
@RockGore It'll come sometime after any news on M3...
-
@Steffie hahaha, nice one Though M3 is coming with the new snapshot, I wouldn't be so sure about a transparent scrollbar????

transparent scrollbar
Would be definitively handy…
