Vivaldi integrates Mastodon in its desktop browser.

@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.
Ok, since it's web suite, so maybe it makes sense to split it to several applications like email and calendar? This way it could be more stable (more code - more points to crash), consume less memory (because OS don't have to load in memory the whole suite) etc. Microsoft Office is also suite, but it is split into Word, Excel, Powerpoint. Other office suites also have several apps. Firefox has email client Thunderbird which is a separate application. Even Apple finally split iTunes for Mac to Music, Video, Podcasts and sync app (Finder) because everybody complained that it's slow and inconvenient.

Hi, if they separate the mail client I could use any other browser+ extensions. The integrated mail client save memory, it use the browser code to show the mails. Thunderbird does the same but hide the browser functionality and it is a real memory monster.
If you don´t need it disable it and it use no memory.
It make sometimes sense to make one application for one task (Old Unix rule) but open Vivaldi and get my mails, calendar, Google Keep (In a panel) updated makes me happy every day.Cheers, mib

@alexander-gorbovets It consumes less memory this way than if it were split into modules. Everything uses the same browser code to operate, and nothing that you are not using consumes any memory at all.

So, the Vivaldi team "doesn't have time to fix bugs and implement feature requests" but somehow they have it to integrate Mastodon into the browser, and tout it as a feature, as if it's something important browser-wise?
Meanwhile, your score on browseraudit . com and similar sites is disastrous, but nooo, let's not fix the bugs and make actually important improvements browser-wise, let's instead do some cosmetics as usual and throw in some pro-establishment virtue signaling, although we like to advertise ourselves as independent and apolitical.
You don't seem to care that your browser is a bug fest, so neither should I, or anyone else. Have a good one, while it lasts.

Yes, because Vivaldi's configurable nature makes it trivial to integrate Mastodon into it! Vivaldi allows you to integrate almost any website into the sidebar. In other words: The time and effort it took to integrate Mastodon was negligible! You may as well say that I shouldn't take the time to flush the toilet, because that's time I could be using on my studies.

@carlinhos700 and they only take 12 days to fix zero-day security issues that every other Chromium browser fixed immediately.

Pin tap stack is no working.

@LKH819
Hi, work as expected in the latest stable:
Please open a new thread about your issue, this thread is not a good place for discussions.
Cheers, mib

@Ruarí You're being sarcastic, right? It's hard to tell without tone-of-voice and body-language.
-
@Eggcorn Yes I am being sarcastic. Their recent record getting security updates out has been atrocious.
-
@Ruarí Vivaldi's record, or the record of the other Chromium-based browsers?
-
@Eggcorn Opera's record. The others (including Vivaldi) have all been good.
Case in point, the last zero day was fixed by Chrome, Brave, Edge and Vivaldi within 2 days. Opera took 12.

Takk fyrir breytingarnar þær eru góðar til hamingju. Það væri frábært ef þið viljið laga html Linkin í telephone svo hægt sé að hringja úr vivaldi ég neyðist til að hafa edge eða chrome opið til að hringja. Kveðja og takk Þorsteinn--

Ah, offensive...! How terrible!
I guess the key is who decides what is "offensive." Adding Mastodon may be offensive to many, as the 7 pages of this thread have shown.
Heck, "mastodon" itself may be offensive to some large people. Perhaps they should start filing complaints.
I have no idea what article you deleted, but I find it offensive that free discussion is being censored and suppressed by people who have missed civics classes and have no clue why free speech is important to a democracy, or that free speech protections are there to protect precisely "offensive" statements.
-
Yep, the virtue-signaling and notably unique Mastodon addition was the last straw for me.
I had been a Vivaldi cheerleader for years, putting up with bugs and sites not rendering correctly, just because I was fond of its underdog status and early cuteness.
But Vivaldi never rose up to its initial aspirations and in a way, I am glad this happened, because it freed me from my purely emotional attachment. I have moved to Brave as my default and it's of course far more stable -- it just works. I have also stopped testing on Vivaldi, since it's largely irrelevant for the world, and now for me too.

Does Vivaldi censor and suppress discussions, in your opinion?
