woot, a late evening update. (1st)

@ian-coog: Is it? I have completely lost all sense of time between Covid home working and the switch back to CET.

[Quick Commands] Improve Speed (VB-72021)
Does this have something to do with the freezes coz of history?
[Themes] Menu button for some themes have a forced red color in some themes (VB-73422)
Is there now only the adaptive icon?

Yes but there is also a more general performance improvement for those that never encountered that bug.

[Address bar] URL string resets briefly before loading new page (VB-73309)
still occasionally bugs, at least I try typing
9gag.com (enter)
when it loads it becomes https://9gag.com, then type
deviantart.com (enter)
it resets to 9gag.com during the "connecting to" phase then goes to deviantart.com, and occasionally the url remains https://9gag.com even if I'm looking at the deviantart homepage!

Speed Dial Backgroung following system theme when? Just like happens on Android
It would also be nice to apply a different wallpaper to each new tab (from unsplash), but that is for another request

why spotify Web Player problem did not solve???

What a great list of fixes!
[New] Make Google components optional (Hangouts, Cast, Cloud Print) (VB-66018)
This is AMAZEBALLS. Thank you!
Would be nice if someone on the team wrote up a guide on what the components are needed for. Like what is the consequence of turning off "crypto token" - No DRM/HDCP playback? And is Hangouts actually needed to use Google Hangouts in the browser, or is it just a "helper" extension? What happens if we disable Webstore - no Extension installs and updates?
[Address bar] No autocomplete on vivaldi:// (VB-73275)
Very nice!
[Configurable menus][New] Make menus in start page configurable (VB-73602)
Yes! Getting there - web page context menus next?
[Configurable menus][New] Enable shortcuts in context menus (VB-73358)
What is this exactly? Same as Open Link?
[Menus] Move Settings from “Tools” to Root folder in the vertical menu (VB-73524)
Only for unedited menus I suppose? I'm fine with having it under Tools, but this is definitely easier for new users.
[Themes] Menu button for some themes have a forced red color in some themes (VB-73422)
Does this change cause this?
Is this how the Snapshot icons will look? Or this a theme thing?

Being able to edit the Startpage & SD button context menu is extremely helpful. No need for visiting the Vivaldi menu, or the profile button for certain tasks anymore, for example New Private Window, New Guest Window, gpu stats (vivaldi://gpu) and much more. It's like having a powerful right-click GNU/+Linux menu at your hand at all times. Thanks immensely for that, this, when integrated to the content context menu as well, will truly be a game changer

Probably intervenes at a lower level than
vivaldi://componentsand overrides whatever settings/components/upcoming components are being set/loaded by default, that's my guess, but a more professional answer is -I agree- more important than amateur me

Wow! What an update! Nice work.
For your information, I noticed a small change while using PiP on Windows 10 (64bits).
Instead of having the icons stacked on the taskbar, a second Vivaldi icon is created (see pictures below).
Not really a bug and I can of course live with it but I don't know if the team changed something on purpose. I didn't notice that behavior with previous Snapshots (and in the Stable version, the icons are stacked by default).Latest Snapshot : 3.5.2088.7 (64 bits)
Latest Stable : 3.4.2066.86 (Stable channel) (64-bit)
I watched an incredible video on Stable... did you notice?
-
Grumble, whine, moan...
-
VB-72721 seems to have resolved itself with this snapshot aswell.
-
Uh oh. Something's gone wrong here, in this Snapshot [Stable remains good].
I also verified this problem in my Test profile, with all Hooks disabled.
The last two continue to work correctly. The first two are broken now - they both behave as if they were
As Last Tab.Anyone?
-
@Steffie Same for me (I have "After Active Tab" selected but the new tabs open as last tab).
-
@Ornorm Ta for confirming / reproducing.
VB-73739
