Vivaldi improves Mail Search and Translate, extends Web Panels with extension support

npro

Both Canvas Anti-fingerprint extensions [1], [2] show an unchangable fingerprint on https://browserleaks.com/canvas with Shift+F5 (hard refresh). The fingerprint is changing if one uses Vivaldi without the UI with vivaldi --disable-vivaldi, is this going to be addressed in the future?
There's a very fast flashbang when starting the browser with this version, noticable ofc when using a dark theme.

@npro I have such flash on Android 10 6.6 Snapshot.

Short white flash with Desktops's dark mode on Linux, too.

I fail to see the panel additions. I always had navigational buttons in web panels as far as i remember? Do i need to do something to use the extensions in the webpanels?

i like the new forced dark mode, but i dont like how its applied to Every Website. can you add a way to exclude websites from it please

For now, you have two possibilities:

Uncheck “Force a dark theme on all websites”.
Or open the settings page (protip: enable opening settings in a tab instead of a new window) and select Light when you are on your site you want to keep in light mode.

On 6.5, I had one sometimes, but not always. Not tested yet with 6.6.

Hi, a developer ask how it could be reproduced.
Please open a new thread about your issue or add the information to the report VB-99601 if it is yours.

Cheers, mib

@jon Thank you for the Dark Mode theme for all websites. This is a huge plus for me as I always prefer to have a dark background when reading webpages.
Awesome!

On YouTube.com when I click on a video, it loads in the same tab and strats playing the video, so far so good. But if I middle-click to load the video in a new tab, it loads the video in a new tab but does NOT start it playing as soon I click on the tab... before the latest update, it did play the video. Bug or Settings problem?

Is there a way to hibernate Web Panels by chance in Vivaldi 6.6?

Happens to me too! And what is worse, it also pauses video playback after an ad. And if there are two ads in a row, it pauses the second ad too.

AFAIK, no. You only can kill their process in the Vivaldi Task manager (Shift-Esc, or search for it in the Quick Commands pop-up), but you’ll have to manually reload it afterwards.

The other solution is to quit and restart Vivaldi: if you set the lazy load of the panels on, they will be in hibernation when the browser is restarted.

After the update, you cannot mark the address in the address bar with the mouse, using ctrl+a and or part of it.

Please test this in a private window and/or the guest view, this except extensions and use the default settings.

[Mail] Error setting up outlook.com mail account (VB-104075)

okay, still does not work* for me with OAuth and my work account, but well.. maybe in 7.0

the rest is solid

* Server responded with: Unrecognized command 'unknown' [...]

CooperDad

@trit34 Thank you for this quick response!

@CooperDad
Hi, I cant find a bug report for this issue but another user report Outlook OAuth does not work with enabled uBlock extension.
The user use a Office.com account.
Sounds a bit strange but Chrome extensions can cause really anything in Vivaldi.
A running Avast block adding any mail account on a friends PC, no error message, nothing.
Take me some time to find out.

Cheers, mib

Unfortunately, it doesn't even work in a private window.
When you click in the address bar, it is marked with a blue border and "text in it" cannot be selected.

Windows 11 (23H2, build 222631.3155)

@Kevinar
Hm, the blue border is a new feature, it add the highlight color from your theme.

This is on Windows 11.

While extensions in side panels is an AMAZING improvement, it completely broke my panels (100% a huge bug). My web panels stops showing anything after a while and I have to restart Vivaldi every half an hour. Please please please get it fixed
