Vivaldi 6.5 RC 2 – Vivaldi Desktop Browser snapshot 3206.38/39

@Gif2D OK, I deleted old profile and restored via Sync.
No issue now with CPU usage, but I still get random crashes.
Browser is still usable 'till is necessary to fill a form, when the final crash occurs… -
I've been having an issue with Vivaldi that is mildly infuriating.
I live in Canada. I cleared my cache. Why is Vivaldi shoving Amazon.com right at the top when I type Amazon?
This was never an issue before.
I would type "ama" in the address bar and press Enter as it would pick Amazon.ca from my typed history and that would be that.
But now it defaults to Amazon.com, where I have never been to as a "Direct Match". The .com website is for the US. I ain't paying import fees for every single items just because Vivaldi decided to push this. What is this and how do I disable this garbage, if its even possible.Edit :
Nvm, found it. This really shouldn't have been enabled by default for everyone. Or at least make it regional.
The "learn more about direct match" says it's everyone who set their language to English (US) ... Well what else am I going to set my language to? English (UK) ? You don't exactly have a lot of choices for Countries here. Bad implementation. -
@loneranger12: UPDATE: Yesterday I tried to reinstall afresh snapshot black copy on my desktop alongside vivaldi final red but it didnt happen. First, the snapshot I tried downloading from here has same name as the final, not vivaldi.snapshot (version number, like chrome, edge, brave and opera has), second, it chooses same path as default vivaldi thus trying to install over existing red vivaldi, third, told your telegram group about this via screenshots but it is almost 24 hours and I am yet to download and use it. It happens always. Even third-party installers like majorgeeks, techspot has snapshot in the name of red vivaldi. Lol.

@loneranger12: Vivladi doesnt showcase snapshot as individual entity like edge does via edge channels and chrome via chrome experiments so on like with brave and opera but vivaldi, nah. Snapshot is hidden in blog and that too with wrong naming and wrong path installing, not where downloads are present for someone trying to download secondary version apart from final.

The browser opens a new tab very slowly, cannot immediately enter a new address like Chrome. When clicking new tab, there is a slight delay before the address bar is displayed for input. Hope it will be fixed as quickly as Chrome
When selecting Tab on Left mode, the address bar above appears a bit large. Hopefully a new version can be updated to allow customizing its height to save display space on small screens.

I still have problems closing tabs (issue reported in one of the snapshots for 6.5). Neither mouse nor keyboard shortcut will work. I have to restart Vivaldi.
Works fine for a few hours, then the problem reappears.

Continuing from my reply on an earlier snapshot:
https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/93245/vivaldi-6-5-rc-1-vivaldi-desktop-browser-snapshot-3206-33-36/31?_=1702893117730I can make this happen:
Every new window, private or non private, adds one entry to the list of the "parent" window. The new window shows only one entry.

Mail is now working OK with one exception: sometimes - in the common (all accounts) mail receiver - it doesn't empty g-mail's trashcan and displays a count number on the mail image, like there is something in the mailbox. I have to go to the particular account and empty the trash. And there is one more thing about videos: it cannot play the integrated videos on Quora. When I try to play a video the placeholder goes blank. That happened after the 3201.4 snapshot.

@loneranger12: No answer yet. No wonder I am speaking to wall.
