@ruarí: Hey, Let's say I have 4 different google accounts registered on vivaldi mail. When I login each account I have and restart vivaldi I have to login 3 different google account. It keeps going until I have to login 4-3-2-1 different accounts and 4 restarts.
BTW I recorded this issue but it contains my personal information, I can't send you DM or chat so let me know if you need prof

@j-bessenyei StartTLS is planned, but not added yet.

On major problem in reality of SSL protocol is that the StartTLS sequence is not really secure and should be avoided.

@doctorg We have identified a race condition where the list is fetched correctly, but the UI is not updated with it. A fix for this will be released shortly.

@pettern Nice to hear you found this issue.

And the downloads panel still doesn't allow dragging downloads from it and no option to open when finished. And it still keeps asking if you want to "keep" exe files. Sorry but I think it added fluff with little substance.

@arcsnim If you have 4 accounts. You login 4 times. Then you are done, forever and no you do not need to restart. You are thinking this is more complicated than it is. Just login again. This is a one time (per account) issue.

A new user would do the login once when they setup their account.

It has always done this in all Chromium browsers. This is NOT an addition for this release.

I'm sorry my english is not great.
I mean of course I login every google account when OAth shows up but after I close the browser and open it again, it asks (Registered google account on vivaldi mail - 1) times again. It keeps going until I login Registered google account times on vivaldi.

I tried same thing on new vivaldi but I don't get same result. I don't have to login each time nor it does not ask it when I open it.

Looks like it's not significant but it affects users who already uses it vivaldi mail before.

In did that before in early 4.3 snapshots but we (believe) we fixed that issue in the later snapshots and for stable.

Now in stable once you set it, it sticks, even on restart. If it does not we have another bug but as far as I know it is working for everyone.

I know, but the big question is: How much work would it be for you guys to disable it completely, or give us an option to to so? Personally I would just like to see it completely disabled, I have no need for this "security".

Noticeable gains in performance on my end as well.

CrackedLCD

@gabevilela Yeah, that wasn't working even on this page. But after a (second) restart, it's showing up. Weird.

I'll say it again, Vivaldi needs to partner to be the official KDE browser! They would go together so well!
(also, Vivaldi could give a few tips about visual design to Plasma)

coronium

@panino only if the wheel-mouse scroll is faster

Sadly, still no fix for VB-80458

And after a reboot, I now only get 26 languages in the list.
