every snapshot contains dozens of M & C issues for years already
yes, agreed, & for me this [apart from the sad tabs management status ofc] really ended up sucking the fun out of v updates [like Count Vlad sucks the blood from his victims, perhaps, teehee?] for me. all those years of eager anticipation for the next snappie [& the various running jokes in the forum about them] were pretty much killed once the long-awaited-by-some M&C arrived, & it began dawning on me that most of the time, most ongoing snappie changelogs were going to be entirely dominated by M&C crap... yawn!

I admit to being in a stormy situation as I have been struggling quite a bit lately with Floorp's future direction.

@ybjrepnfr Time we move on to a more "lasting" thread lol https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/59536/i-cheat-on-vivaldi-with-firefox

Baah, Floorp has so many nice things already integrated and which are such a pain to manually add to/enable in FFN, so I'm back to it
. (I missed those Lepton menu icons 
and little switches) -

in FFN
i really want july to hurry up & get here, coz more & more i feel a bit left behind with the old ESR 115 base of
floorp, when Nightly gets lovely things like this:https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/127.0a1/releasenotes/#note-790132
127.0a1 / New / Bug 1890299
Starting with Firefox 127, Nightly users now have the ability to translate selections of text from the right-click context menu, rather than only being able to translate the entire web page.so...
Look, you've got it all wrong! You don't need to follow me. You don't need to follow anybody! You've got to think for yourselves! You're all individuals!

Wonder what browser has supported that for a long time?

@TbGbe i don't talk to windozing horizontallers. icky icky ick!
otoh, i'm willing to indulge horizontalling penguinistas, coz they're at least half way there & so might still have a chance of redemption...
-
@TbGbe for the record, your taunt intrigued me, so i fired up snappie to test if its current contextural translator is any less useless than all the other times. i tried four different fediverse posts/toots, all different languages. it failed 100% of the time... again. this time it misassigned all as being africaans, then sulked with an error message.
still, at least v has its fab infinite nesting tst, its multiple pip [each of which can go fullscreen], its cname-uncloaking, its native wayland, its... oh, no, wait...

From my testing (Vivaldi local forums), you need to select at least five words - of course more is better.

That's OK. I'll still talk to you

so I'm back to it

FireDragon was rebased to Floorp, meaning we now profit from its interesting feature set.
I dislike Garuda Linux; it's not my cup of tea at all, but this news is quite interesting. Floorp's campaign for world domination expands further...
-
@TbGbe each test comprised >>5 words, being one or sometimes two complete paragraphs. even when i still loved v, its translator was frequently just terrible... & i know from the plethora of forum posts on it that i'm not alone in that view.
when are ya gonna be a penguinista again? how can you bear hideous windoze? enjoying all the ads?

What are ADS? Using Ublock still.
I'm waiting to see the new, shiny (delayed) POP_OS.Win: Snapshot Vivaldi 7.2.3592.3

yeah, i know; you've been hiding behind that story for mega-yonks now
but all this time you could have been enjoying another lovely penguin, rather than windoze. like someone recently said... icky icky ick. -

huh? how can a browser extension help with ads in start menu & file explorer? on dad's pc i've even seen them in the system tray. magnificent work, microshit!

@ybjrepnfr said in Arching Floorpians:

Not here.
Although I do see MS Office being pushed when updating. Maybe you should show him OOSU10.exe

@TbGbe holy cow, i just realised your local time! i see your insomnia / nightowlness has not abated, over all these years [um, i mean, weeks, coz i'm only noo here].

true that's the "negative" of it, especially for us that are used to "always latest", but it's understandable for a 1-2-man project. Maybe the situation will improve now that Vrovaldi realised how badly they screwed it up with their choice (see menus+UI fiasco) and decide to fork Floorp with the name
⚽ Fifaldi(sponsored by FIFA ofc -no more money issues-) and rebasing it on current gecko/quantum.
when Nightly (127) gets
Thing is ESR will jump 8 versions to 123, that's still not enough
/edit: phew that was not correct
