@saudiqbal: Pardon my asking, but why is the search bar necessary, if you can perform a search from the address bar?

I dont use the search bar, it is removed from my address bar, the focus goes to search bar on the speed dial instead of the address bar when I press the home button.

@saudiqbal Why do you have the search bar on speed dial even enabled? I never understood the purpose of it. It’s probably the worst tool to issue a search available in Vivaldi.

Guys please those black borders around speed dials are ugly...
Also: why square on a landscape screen?
Please make us choice wich layout we prefer, I loved the old one, hate this new one, no offense intended

@atlemo: I kinda liked this border. Maybe add a slider to control the border's width?

Any plans for Reload all speed dial thumbnails and Reload every x minutes?

Doesn't Reload or F5 work while Speed Dial is active?

Damn, I didn't even thought about trying F5, I'm used to right-click refresh all (from some other browser which I don't recall), so yeah, that works lol, thanks.

@luetage because there are some searches that cannot be completed using the address bar, like code searches.

Pathduck

Please, for the sake of our sanity: Set .thumbnail-image img to

object-fit: contain;
object-position: center;

So we don't have to have to use exact bloody pixel-perfect dimensions for our custom thumbnails...

I can deal with SD mods breakage, I don't have a lot of modding there anyway, but this is such a small change and would be a big help.

Also please add an option to ~~not show the favicons~~ have the text centred under the thumbnail. The favicon is useless when we're using custom thumbs of the site icon anyway. EDIT: I see now we have an option to not show the favicons

@Pathduck Or basically instead of this:

[New][Speed Dial][Settings] Updated layout for Start Page Speed Dials: like Android (VB-72606)
(that literally no one asked for in this forum, or I haven't read the latest 5-6 "Snapshots" thoroughly enough)

do this:

[New][Speed Dial][Settings] Updated layout for Start Page Speed Dials: like Desktop (VBA-72606)

I see that many people don't like the new speed dials. I have to say though, I like the new look a lot

Imo

Pros:

the url text is no longer in the rounded field:

alt text

now we have favicons

Cons:

the url text now inside the whole frame
thumbs are still 3:4

The problem that was introduced in the previous snapshot (2202.3) where links are treated like text when it comes to pressing on them with the right mouse button, triggering the associated pop up context menu, remains unsolved in this snapshot (2209.3) for MacOS.

latest Firefox release indroduce feature "Total Cookie Protection"

have Vivaldi team in plan similar feature?

Thanks for the new build!
I understand the Speed Dials will be brought back to "normal"? They look... weird and elongated, and the text appears only on mouse-over for me.
I'm not a big fan of the new tab drag/reorder either. I'm creating tab stacks more often without wanting it and it's harder to see. The previous iteration worked better IMO.

looks like a great feature, but why it was introduced so late...

At first I didn't like the new layout of speeddial, but now I'm starting to like it more than the previuous version.
The size of speed dials is a bit bigger than the older one.

@plovec It would be fine for me if the issue with transparency and the border could be fixed. I only have a few dozen thumbnails to recreate. However, some users have many speed dial thumbs. It is important that they look right.

Transparency Bug.png

Sizes @ 100% UI Zoom

Tiny = 130 pixels
Small = 180 pixels
Default = 230 pixels
Large = 280 pixels
Huge = 330 pixels

plovec

@pesala: Yes, I agree with you. I also have some custom thumbs that are of the wrong size, now. That was the purpose of my comment, but I understand it was not clear.
