Chrome is not yet at 115, why 116, i was hopping for something stable soon?

After the update, my Bookmarks Bar (on autohide) overlays the Address Bar.

/* Simple Automatic Bookmark-bar */
.bookmark-bar-top .bookmark-bar {margin-bottom: -28px; z-index: 1; transform: translateY(0); transition: transform 0.1s 0.5s !important;}
.bookmark-bar-top .bookmark-bar::before {content: ''; position: absolute; height: 12px; width: 100%; top: 100%;}
.bookmark-bar-top .bookmark-bar:not(:focus-within):not(:hover) {transform: translateY(-100%);  transition: transform 0.1s 0.5s !important;}

Nice snapshot, love the address bar priority setting

BUT - what happened to the Geolocation Override?
I thought it was a really neat feature

I added cool places like Tristan da Cunha, North Pole and McMurdo Station to trick websites...

...and the overlay scrollbars are gone Damn, I hate to have the thick scrollbars always on screen

new bug,: Search Field dropdown for search suggestions remains on screen even pressing esc, only possible to click the search engine icon twice to make the suggestions dropdown disappear, can anyone confirm?

[rseiler]

@ipristy: Vivaldi, thankfully, is on the Stable Channel track, so even releases only. It would be impossible to do otherwise with the new, faster Chromium cadence.

@iAN-CooG

the overlay scrollbars are gone

I guess the Chromium devs decided that:

Our metrics show that only .001% of users enabled overlay scrollbars, and our usability tests showed that they confused boomers who didn't understand how to scroll the page when there were no "handles on the side you click and hold to move the page".

Found a weird bug. Clearing cache in every Chromium-based browser removes all temp files in Cache_Data folder, and 5 remaining files - Data_0, Data_1, Data_2, Data_3, Index - become 8kb, 264kb, 8kb, 8kb, 513kb respectively. But when you clear cache in Vivaldi, it removes all temp files, but the "main 5" files remain the same size. But the most interesting thing is that if you go to any site, click on padlock in address bar -> site settings, it opens a Chrome-style Settings and if click on "Performance and security" tab and then "Clear browsing data" it will clear everything as it should. Again, "Clear browsing data" in Chrome-styled Settings clears cache as it should, but "Delete Browsing Data" (Ctrl+Shift+Delete) doesn't.

@VClassic As is remember the data is nulled, but the size should be reduced.
Known and in bug tracker confirmed issue.

@daniel wow, I don't remember a (major) Chromium bump like that so early.

I hate scrollbars too. This isn't the first time they removed them, but a backlash had them put the overlays back.

Fortunately they are still accessible.

Enable this,
vivaldi://flags/#temporary-unexpire-flags-m114

Restart

Then enable this,
vivaldi://flags/#overlay-scrollbars

@sjudenim great, thanks. I was already testing some extensions like
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/blending-scrollbar/ajjnokaolfbjimgelmdmdlijoclmjnag
but I guess that's for when they will completely remove even the unexpire flags option

Experiment concluded. Conclusion: It needs more work. It’s hidden (not removed) because we won’t finish it in time for the next two major releases.

I had expected loud cheering for VB-37747 in the comments. The bug have had 37 duplicates submitted.

Spelling error: macOS not MacOS (the capital M is an ancient dead version of macOS)
