Same old New Window now opens faster – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 3062.3

[AltCode]

@DoctorG Seems to open just as fast for me, with or without a background image.

finally portals arrive

[Hadden89]

@daniel @Ruarí Is correct to presume the portal load the common UI items whereas its child windows take care of the rest?

Grammarly says it should be comprehendible.

The computer says no.

I noticed an issue when maximizing a window. But it does not seem to relate to the new Portals feature. I tried changing the experiments setting and it happens both times. So maybe it is just something I hadn't noticed before. I noticed it with opening a new window, but it seems to have the same effect with only 1 window open.

This might sound confusing. When double-clicking the tab bar to maximize a window, the window will maximize, but also open the speed dial that is located where you double-clicked.

Here's how I reproduce it:
1 - Have a window open, unmaximized.
2 - Open Speed Dial page so that the Speed Dials are visible.
3 - Drag the window down so that the tab bar is aligned with where a row of Speed Dials will end up when the window is maximized.
4 - Move your mouse to the tab bar so that the mouse is aligned with one of the Speed Dials.
Note - after steps 3 and 4 your mouse cursor should be aligned with one Speed Dial (if you end up too far to the left or right of a speed dial, or above the top row of speed dials, it won't work)
5 - Double-click the tab bar to maximize the window
6 - The window will maximize, but also open the page that the mouse cursor is on after the window maximizes.

What I expect should happen is that the window will maximize, but not open the speed dial.

This might also happen with links on a normal page, but I haven't tested. It might just be that it is easier to have your mouse located over speed dials because they are relatively large.

Anyone else confirm?

Long time user here. Could anybody explain what a portal means in this context? I haven't the faintest idea.

[Aaron]

Why? Not @Ruarí ?

[Ayespy]

@daniel Grammarly is completely correct. I comprehended it immediately. However, "comprehendible" is not an English word in common usage. "Comprehensible" is.

[Aaron]

@ugly Confirmed.

Yes, I can confirm that.

[Ruarí]

@Aaron I am on holiday. Also @daniel is awesome, we have worked together for years. Going all the way back to my first days at Opera. You are better off in his hands than mine… trust me.

[Ruarí]

@daniel: Perfect

[jon]

@ruarí: && @daniel, you are both great!

[ugly]

@Aaron and @Conesa thanks for confirming, I filed a bug report.

@EricJH I believe this is what portals are: https://react.dev/reference/react-dom/createPortal (but I cannot make much sense from this documentation page)

Though having someone from the Vivaldi Team explaining what portals are, why they are good for opening windows faster, and how they are going to allow addressing long-standing issues and feature requests sure would be nice.

Perhaps making detailed blog post about the subject would be helpful (cc: @daniel, @Ruarí)

when i saw this snappie was not helmed by @Ruarí i drew the entirely logical conclusion that @jon had finally instigated his ruthless total ban on unicycles, & sent him on his way, to work in the tearoom at otterbrowser. it was thus a clever use of chatgpt to fake him in the posts above, in order to fool the gullible masses here...

Guest Windows gets stuck loading forever.

forever, huh? that's a pretty long time. how come it was possible to finalise that time & write it here? how do you know it was not merely something more finite, like only a bajillion years? truth in advertising!

[OakdaleFTL]

@ybjrepnfr Close enough to "forever": No UI, menu control doesn't work; even quitting from Persons drop-down merely closes the profile from which the Guest Window was launched....

[TbGbe]

@ybjrepnfr You do know that on these forums "forever" is ~20 seconds ??

[ybjrepnfr]

@TbGbe you took longer than forever for that riposte.
