@jon First!
Just to annoy some people
-
Thank you for the update. The "Link context menu" changed a bit and the first item is now "Add to reading list". I was used to have "Open link in new tab", so it added the link to reading list...
But thanks to the extremely customizable Vivaldi, I moved the new item lower, and now I'm happy again -
Third, happy

Congrats. Reading list needs offline access, to read articles offline in Reader mode.

Thank you very much indeed for the update.Very much appreciated as always.
Nothing unusual to report as the browser just works as intended.Thanks again.

Unfortunately, Qwant is not quite "back" as they made their service unavailable in a lot of countries. Which sucks tbh since I liked their quirky features. At least there's Brave search which I get better results than DDG.

Hey folks. Seems to be a bug: when I open any page from Feeds and close its tab to return to the Feeds page (whether with Ctrl+W or clicking X), the sidebar opens even it was closed before. Pretty annoying to close it every time.

Sadly Spotify Web Player does not support Vivaldi anymore
reported as bug VB-88033 "[Regression] Spotify Webplayer does not open in Vivaldi" -
@doctorg It works for me. Did you try clear the cookies or other temp data?
-
@sweetlou6 I can login into my Free account but not open the web player, show a error page
Tested with fresh profile and no settings or ectensions!Image
Works in chromium 100.0.4896.75
/edit: Widevine DRM was the troublemaker, was missing after update.

Wow, a good release.
I like that the panel close and open faster.
Vivaldi feel snappier. -
So what's the best process from Snapshot to Stable on Ubuntu?
Clear history, export bookmarks and uninstall Snapshot? -
@ipristy
Hi, Vivaldi on Linux create a second user directory, stable and snapshot are independent.
I use stable for testing, all default, no extensions, no sync.
For daily work I use the snapshot.
If needed you can copy important files like bookmarks, passwords over from one to the other.Cheers, mib

Thank you so much for bringing back the old way of dragging tabs, it is much appreciated!
Since syncable Search Engines didn't make the cut for this release of 5.2: Is this planned for 5.3 or will syncable Search Engines come back as part of a minor update withing the 5.2 release cycle?

Pretty annoying new behavior of the tab bar since 5.1 stable. I have tab bar to the left and compact stacking. When opening a new tab the tab bar automatically scrolls down to put the new tab at the very top of the tab bar. I.e. it still puts the tab after active tab, as per my settings, but scrolls the tab bar down so the new tab appears on top and the top most tabs get hidden, I have to manually scroll back up to see them. I keep them at the top for a reason: easy access. The tabs down towards the bottom are less important and I'm fine scrolling down when I need to see or access them. This also means if I then close the new tab the previously active tab, that now again becomes active, is hidden, the tab bar doesn't scroll back up. Real handy to not see anymore which tab is active!
Why do the designers think I need automatic scrolling outside of my control? No idea if this is caused by chrome 100 or if it's a Vivaldi design choice, or a bug. Cannot see anything in settings to curb or tweak this behavior.Edited: Windows 10

Unfortunate release. Hopefully the new regressions are addressed quickly

Would be great if Reading List would support Bookmarks features such as folders and manual sorting, otherwise at the moment organisation-wise Bookmarks are still much more powerful than the Reading List.
