Three Cheers to Vivaldi 3.4: a powerful and fun version arrives
-
@longrun , M3 is in no way abandoned. Technical Preview should be there in the next few weeks. Enjoy the game while you wait.
-
@longrun Then you should follow Jon to read his dozens of posts regarding M3 and participate in the forum much more
-> for example Jon's post yesterday https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/51624/vivaldi-update
-
@longrun I find your post very lacking in gratitude and calling things useless is a lack of tact on your behalf..Just turn the game off and your done in 2 seconds.
Patience is a virtue but you seem lacking in virtuosity.
-
@jon: I apologize for not seeing the recent posts and if I seemed rude. The problem for me is that M2 stopped working months ago and I had to switch the bulk of my emailing to Gmail rather than the unreleased M3. At this point I will have to think long and hard about whether to move to M3, even though I'm sure it will be superior to Gmail.
-
@longrun , no worries at all. I am sorry M3 has taken so long. I Hope you will give it a try. I have a feeling you will enjoy it!

LOVING the context menu editor. So detailed. I would expect nothing less from you guys. Thanks for all the great work you put in to the browser.
-
@longrun: Don't worry, the game was developed by a third-party so very little Vivaldi dev time was taken. Someone only had to include a button and a page for it, but nothing more.

@longrun said in Three Cheers to Vivaldi 3.4: a powerful and fun version arrives:
So, you've abandoned the long-awaited email client (a successor to Opera M2) but instead offer a useless video game. I still love Vivaldi and welcome periodic page reloading, which I used often in Opera Classic, but sometimes I question your priorities.
I don't know why the others are placating you but I won't. Compared to Opera or Brave Vivaldi is a far superior browser and even if the devs had taken sometime to create a game instead of working on your so called "must have" email client that is there choice. You are getting a fantastic browser for free in the future please try to remember that.

I am also always very excited about every new Vivaldi update

The Winareo Blog reports many positive things about Vivaldi 3.4: https://winaero.com/vivaldi-3-4-is-here-with-a-bunch-of-new-features/
-
Also the German Computerbild reports: https://www.computerbild.de/artikel/cb-News-Software-Vivaldi-Browser-3.4-27948349.html
-
Will the browser be optimized because it consumes a lot of resources and a heavy interface?
Will there be a design change? -
-
@Bard-Viv No because what you say is not true. But if you insist there are other "naked" browsers where you can go back and forth by clicking the arrows and have some basic bookmarks if that's your thing and gain some milliseconds, check vanilla Chromium.
-
Will the menu you open become customizable when you right click on a website?

Seems to have totally disabled text anti-aliasing/smoothing on Vivaldi - all the usual text on my webpages looks like junk now, all blocky and thin-fonts (I just ran the upgrade from the Check for Updates button).
And the game thing is pointless and pops up on the Start Page? Disabled. Glad I didn't deploy Vivaldi in work, because that would have been a meeting in itself to explain why there are now games on the browser for everyone.
Nice to see that you're spending all those months of development productively putting in things that break or that people don't want.

If you have multiple windows open beware with this upgrade! I have just upgraded on Linux. I had 2 windows each with over 2 dozen tabs and after the upgrade Vivaldi was opened with one window. Fine, I clicked on the trash icon and saw Window with XX tabs option and clicked on it and it opened a new window with exact copy of the tabs on the previous window. I can not restore the other window tabs; tried several times. Now the weirdest part is, I opened a new blank window and I tried to open each tab manually. As I was doing it, the number of the item "Windows with XX tabs" was decreasing and that item disappeared completely after the last tab. Then I closed Vivaldi. It opened with one window again. Same issue again. If you have multiple windows open, you might want to skip this version. I am trying to see if I can downgrade to previous version.
Edit: I have been backing up my Vivaldi sessions hourly with a shell script so I could restore a previous session and things are fine. -
@kened Have you enabled Allow for Custom UI modifications in vivaldi://experiments and chosen a suitable folder that does not get overwritten with updates?

Thanks @Jon and all at Vivaldi for the continued development of this most wonderful browsing tool. I love using Vivaldi as my everyday driver. I will use some of the enhancements in this version, but do wish you would add a volume control slider to the P-in-P video player. I know it's been requested because I've requested it myself. It's great to be able to fully resize the P-in-P window, and mute the video quickly, but adding a volume slider would really polish the feature. Thank you again for all you do!
