Memory Saver and Compact menus – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 3329.7

[Durtro]

So in memory saver what is the difference between automatic and 1 hour idle? or is it just a shorter time period?

[Durtro]

@cheekybuddha yes. Have one instance affected and on the previous snapshot thread there were more with the same problem.

Let's play that new tune, folks!

@cheekybuddha @Durtro
Hi, I have the same on Windows and Linux but only with the snapshot.
I use stable and an internal 6.7 build with different sync accounts and they work.
I will test this later with a clean profile, then one can report this to the bug tracker if I can reproduce this in a clean profile.
I bet I cant.

Cheers, mib

what is [New][Settings] Memory Saver option (VB-97828)

[mib2berlin]

@derDay
Hi, the settings from chrome://settings/performance are now in the Vivaldi settings.

Cheers, mib

@mib2berlin
aha, ok, I almost never look in the chrome settings except the cookie section
but as I can see, I can disable it completely?
nevertheless, thank you

@cheekybuddha @Durtro
Bet won, I cant reproduce it in a clean profile, no Vivaldi bug.

[oudstand]

Since the update Vivaldi already crashed twice. Has any one else have this problem?

[Durtro]

@mib2berlin I have three instances (2 windows and one linux) and the problem is only visible in one of the windows instances, so I would have bet on that also.

The affected instance is also one that does have a sync problem with multiple entries of the same instance being synced:

https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/93345/synced-tabs-shows-same-instance-multiple-times

So at the moment the sync errors out on that instance but I still see 27 entries of that same machine on other instances windows panel.

[mib2berlin]

@Durtro
Hm, I don't see multiple instances on other systems but I reset the remote data Yesterday, then all ghost instances disappear.
I have 4 snapshots and only one sync on Windows, really strange.
Maybe we should open a new thread for this issue, if we get a new Friday snapshot this thread gets closed again.

[cheekybuddha]

@Durtro, @mib2berlin

I also (for a long time now) have seen these multiple instances of the same machines/phones listed in the Synced Tabs.

I'm going to reset my remote data and see if that helps.

Am I correct that I only need to do that once, or do I have to reset from each synced instance?

[mib2berlin]

@cheekybuddha
Only on one device but I test this already, at least the ghost entries are removed-
I don't wat to reset my default profile at moment and will wait a bit if this sync issue magically disappear.
No idea if we should report this to the bug tracker, we would get more reports in the forum if this happen for many user.

Cheers, mib

Thanks for the choice of menus. Is the Compact Menu a permanent solution or is it only viable while that flag exists?

Now how about an option for New Tab Button placement? On second thought, I'm just going to hide the button altogether since we can basically double click anywhere on the tab container to open a new tab

Nothing yet on clean and modded installs

[carlinhosnewstyle]

That's why I like the Vivaldi team. They resolved this problem quickly.
[Menus][Settings] Provide a way to switch between new and old menu styles (VB-105645)

Unfortunately, it is probably going to be temporary; according to my information the Chromium team is already hard at work removing the old menu configuration code. I have no detailed information about just how long they are going to take doing that.

[Pathduck]

@yngve I guess now would be a good time to inject that Vivaldi UI code into the menu system then?

[Eruzo]

@ruarí: I just upgraded my x64 version on the Surface Pro X to ARM64. It might be placebo effect, but I get the feeling the browser is way faster now. So far, the few sites I visited and the couple of buttons I pressed all did what I expected.

With the improved speed it looks like I can finally set Vivaldi as the default on this device as well.

[npro]

an option to use the (older) more compact menus.

Well this (obviously) affects just the menus though, everything else like the padlock (which appears white btw), confirmation dialogs (exit, canceling downloads) are beautifully round and big. Also the menu separators are those very rough ones.

The situation isn't looking very good atm
