Vivaldi 5.6.2867.36 contstantly crashes on Windows 10 x64 21H2.
Very cool browser and it's my primary browser. But I don't get why the team is spending effort on implementation of calendar, email, social network, while Vivaldi started lagging behind other browsers in terms of actual browser features. For instance Chrome has feature to rename windows more than year, and Vivaldi doesn't have it. Classic Opera had multirow tabs for ages, but Vivaldi still doesn't have it (tab groups in a separate row is a different feature). There's still no version for iOS (as far as I know) while other major browsers have it.
I think, every app should do what it is supposed to do. Browser should browse internet, email client should show and send emails, musical player should play music etc. When you put functionality of every app types into a single application, your application binary size grows enormously, it takes more RAM just to launch, it gets more bugs and hence crashes more frequently. Why not just create separate email client and calendar?

@nekomajin: [honest reply] Yes, we are aware. It's something we are working on, trust me. As @sjudenim correctly points out, due to the size of our product design team (2 people) we need to break it into pieces, and that is not ideal. Spread across all the features we have, Desktop, Android, Cars and iOS in progress, it's a lot. I'm not excusing anything, but this is the reality. We do have things in the works, though, which I hope will address a lot of these issues, so please be patient a little while longer

I guess it's fine to add Mastodon on the pretext of freeing yourself from the private social networks, but then why, OH, WHY, did you also add Wikipedia, the most corrupted "service" in the world ???
-
Adding Mastodon to the browser is an excellent and smart move.

100% agreed.

@alexander-gorbovets Vivaldi was never supposed to be simply a browser. It was always conceived to be a comprehensive platform for internet-connected work. That has always been its vision.
Its commitment to that vision means that people like me can increase their efficiency several-fold by not having to switch between apps to do our daily, all-day work which is conducted on the web.
At the same time, if all you ever want from it is the browser, work goes on all day every day to make it the most resource- efficient and conformable-to-your-needs-only browser there is. Literally everything not browsing-specific that it includes can be removed from your experience, leaving you a totally simplified (but simplified in YOUR way) product.
Please pardon the dust while Vifaldi strives to meet its vision.

@bariton Vivaldi is a web suite, not merely a browser. That was one of the very reasons it was created in the first place. But by all means, don't be afraid to adjust your personal instance to be browser-only, and nothing else. It's also intended to meet that need.

A hint of its Origin and Goals

@Ayespy Don't get me wrong, I still like Vivaldi a lot, I didn't want to sound too harsh.
And I can not be dissatisfied as I get Vivaldi for free.
The problem is too much work for a too small team.
So I guessed adding less things would free time to get existing features to work properly.
I am using Vivaldi just as a browser, no mail etc., but work time and code is still in there. -
Phew! Vivaldi rushed to add the woke's darling wannabe "Twitter-killer," Mastodon.
Twitter's lifting of political censorship has infuriated the fringe Left and now Vivaldi has joined the war against free speech too.
Vivaldi has betrayed our trust and I am deleting Vivaldi and hope that anyone who cares about free speech, no matter what side of the political spectrum, deletes it too.

Jon: "We believe in providing alternatives to Big Tech while putting your privacy first and launched Vivaldi Social, our Mastodon instance."
This is Orwellian doublespeak.
No, Jon. You joined the Left's war against Twitter, now that Musk has removed the pervasive woke censorship.
Did you push to integrate Parlor? No? Why not, and why Mastodon and why now?
It's virtue signaling and pandering to the woke stormtroopers who are trying to take down Twitter and promote Mastodon, so theirs are the only voices allowed to be heard.
Shame on you!

@ZerroMan
Hi, you are only ranting in this forum, I follow Jon´s companies and development since 25 years and there is no reason not to trust him.
What does user hate the company and the browser do in this forum? No idea.Cheers, mib

@ZerroMan Vivaldi has changed nothing by hosting a Mastodon instance. It is merely doing what it has done from the beginning, building community
that is happy, kind, and constructive (which has been a goal of the Vivaldi Code of Conduct from day one). It does not harm you or anyone or restrict anyone's speech by declining to provide a platform for content which is hostile, angry, unkind or destructive (to anyone). Those who wish to utter such content are still free to do it anywhere that it is welcome. The existence of Mastodon does literally nothing to hinder the reach of platforms that welcome such speech. In fact it has provided the wherewithal to launch a couple of such communities, for free. Social.vivaldi just doesn't happen to be one of them.The browser itself, of course does literally nothing at all to limit anyone's expression. It can be a vehicle for any and every expression.
If I don't want discussion of racing cars and crashes around my dinner table (because, say, a dear friend was killed in a racing crash), and you insist on talking about nothing else every time I have you over and serve you my food, for free, at my table, I might stop asking you over for dinner. This will not, however, prevent you from eating from the charity table I have out front at all times, nor obsessing about racing cars and crashes everywhere else you go in your life - including haranguing passersby on the sidewalk with tales of racing cars and crashes while chewing a mouth full of my charity food.

@ZerroMan I mean, when you joined this community, you literally agreed to abide by its rules. Now you're mad because you don't like the rules, and because there's another community (or communities), which no one is making you visit, with the same rules. Your position appears to be that the existence of such communities is somehow a threat to you.

Shame on you!
No one here deserves such insults.
You've been here longer, you should know better.
It's amazing what emotions the Vivaldi Mastodon instance triggers.
Please do not spread a bad climate here. -
@atlemo
I can wait. And I truly appreciate proper answers like this from the dev team.
