kids google classwork
why are you doing this to your kids, google monitoring them (and you) for life.
what you are requesting is at #1 spot in the requests, https://forum.vivaldi.net/category/185/desktop-feature-requests, already mentioned in this thread as well, but it could be difficult/too demanding to do with Chromium code which Vivaldi is based on. Your only option in that regard would be Firefox with the containers extension.
(For educational and environmental-friendly purposes: Linux, which was network-aware and multi-user from the beginning (being UNIX-like), contrary to Microsoft with MS Windows, whose only purpose was to sell as many single-user PC it could with that trashy OS on it, has a multi-seat feature (with Xorg as the display server) where one PC can be used with N amount of monitors and (N) keyboards+mouses, meaning all users could be working and be online on the same time on the same computer. )

@DoctorG @Phosphorus Stylus user styles were working both in Web panels and on the Stylus user style manager itself until last January, IIRC. But I think that it’s a Stylus update that broke it, since I had not updated Vivaldi the day is stopped to work there.

Workspaces: Marginally more effort to make than stacks but arguably this makes them more permanent. They also provide a far cleaner, focussed look to your tab bar than lots of stacks. You view one workspace at a time and will not be distracted with tabs that are unrelated to your current activity (though you can also have stacks within workspaces if you want the best of both worlds ). Some benefits over just using Windows are that they are faster to switch between, and are easier to distinguish because you setup unique names and icons.
I'm trying to understand/use workspaces but I'm not getting the order of things. For example, so I open tabs and then move them to workspace. Do I create multiple workspaces, open it & then open the tabs/windows I want to store in the workspace. It appears to me that Workspaces will capture whatever tabs are open if I don't want them in a single workspace.. There is no "Help" page for workspaces. TIA
-
@janrif Workspaces are useful for conceptually categorizing tabs/windows when you need them (eg: home, work, shopping) without the necessity of stacking or doing more window or profiles.
The help page will probably come, but we have to wait it lands on stable.
But how users will use it is clearly subjective. -
The window does not move when the tab bar is at the top.
-
I always have my status bar set to "Status Info Overlay."
Noticing that when hovering on links, the URL has been obscured and unreadable (in the last 2 snapshots on macOS) with both light & dark backgrounds.

@trit34: Nop, the problem was Vivaldi, using old versions of Vivaldi it works.
If I install the older versions of Stylus in the new version of Vivaldi it doesn't work.
I'm not exactly sure what version broke the panels but It was two versions stables ago at least -
@doctorg: Yep, I see a thread in the forum recently, I was using an old version of Vivaldi before updating it.
-
@Phosphorus Have to be said extensions were never supposed to work because chromium hasn't a sidebar/webpanel.
I actually think some restrictions in blink have broken them (thus Vivaldi inherited it). -
From what I could gather about this Workspaces feature, will that also theoretically actually grant a somewhat significant performance/responsiveness boost on the GPU side of things, (at least for people with hundreds of tabs opened) considering there will be less tabs actually displayed on the tab bar? Cuz if so, I'm definitely highly anticipating this. I already am regardless of that, though.

@Lu9 Workspaces dramatically reduced system resource use for me.

Started using Vivaldi Snapshot on Arch Linux today as chromium does not have picture in picture support and i only have one screen, and Firefox does not work that well on this HP Skylake computer on Arch Linux with Ikes Vivaldi snapshot packages, i blame the boyfriend
but so far it does all i want

not support?

@bittin Not all videos can be detected for Vivaldi'S Picture-in-Picture (PiP) and some websites forbid to play as PiP.
I use this bookmark to enable PiP on a page.
javascript:var%20v=document.querySelector(%22video%22);v.removeAttribute(%22disablePictureInPicture%22);v.requestPictureInPicture();if(history.replaceState){window.history.replaceState({},"",location.href);};

@killchain: Also having same issue with downloads on this snapshot too, almost everything I try downloading is stuck on last byte, even leaving it for 30+ minutes doesn't let it finish.
Mostly been downloading things from github... and now I just checked to try and get a link from there which is broken and they're all working now, even copying a link that was broken earlier seems to let it download fine now, weird.
When it does happen I can usually copy the link across to Edge and it downloads without issue there, so not sure if it's AV related, or maybe Edge handles AV different, who knows.

While I have no use for Workspaces on my personal PC, on my work one it's a lifesaver.
I meanly use the browser in a vertical screen, so tab space is especially limited and work related pinned tabs started to utilize almost half my screen.
Now I have four nice workspaces and the clutter is gone, thank you.
-
@stk25 Yes noticed exactly the same.

vivaldi is excellent, can help in identify sites false with option "colortab"
