Memory Saver and Compact menus – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 3329.7
-
@rseiler The Windows-only UseGammaContrastRegistrySettings feature, which seems to be what is referenced in the feature page (via the bug) linked by neowin, is enabled in Vivaldi 6.7.
I am not familiar with what it is, so no idea whether it is restricted to Windows 11 or not.

@yngve Oh, OK, so it may just be something that's baked in now and not even using the flag system (except in Edge).
In Win11, just comparing the Neowin article's text in 6.7 vs 6.6, the text is not as faint as it tends to be in Chromium browsers. And there's even a more noticeable difference in 6.7, though this may just be a coincidence and have nothing to do with it: the font used for things like the upper-left menu is radically better-looking (darker, more pronounced).
-
@rseiler I did check the fonts when looking at that Neowin page between 6.6 and 6.7 and I can confirm your findings. The fonts on 6.7 are better defined and smoother edged. It is a noticeable improvement.
When you mention the upper left menu are you referring to the Vivaldi menu. I did not see differences with a quick comparison; it is also harder to compare because you can't have both menus active at the same time. I am using Vivaldi in dark mode and I think you are using light mode which could account for differences in our observations?
-
@pathduck: I'd love to be able to remove spacing between menu items. I'd love to see that if Vivaldi ever took over the menus.
-
If I try to install a website, in my case YouTube, Vivaldi closes directly.

Is the Compact Menu a permanent solution or is it only viable while that flag exists?
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.
Hi,
Despite a bit OT, even on the previous Menu Layout, when on a small screen. Laptops usually, the menu is shrinked needing to scroll it to access the whole items.This seems to be even worst on the new layout.
I've been searching, and many Chromium users are facing this.
Do you know about that and whether exist a fix or Devs mentioned regarding the new layout?Thx

@Zalex108 I did notice comments related to the new format mentioning issues with laptops, and IIRC I mentioned that to a Chromium dev I was chatting with about the issue.
A (very) quick search in their bug tracker did not turn up any recent (publicly viewable) bugs about such an issue. (Does not mean there aren't any, but at least they were not active in the past few weeks, using the words "menu" and "laptop".)
While I suspect the Chrome support and devs read comments in forums like those you mention, they may have been missed.
Probably, the best way to get action is for a number of people reporting it to the Chromium bugtracker, with screenshots or photos demonstrating the issue.

I see this on both Linux (Ubuntu and Debian) and Windows (Win10).
I cleared my sync data and Vivaldi has been trying to 'initialise sync' ever since - constant timeouts for three hours.
In my case, it appears V appears to exchange sync data with V servers on start, and then asks for my decryption password. If I enter my password in Sync settings, it all appears to work correctly. It's like V is just forgetting the decryption password in my case.

I am on snapshot for about a week now, and I never could receive a token for Privacy Guard.
Is this not available in Austria maybe?
-
@ShalokShalom Are you on ARM Linux? The first snapshot with Privacy Guard mentioned that it wouldn't work on those builds for now.
@Ruarí Is that still the case? I haven't seen it be mentioned as a known issue for any subsequent snapshots.
-
@AltCode IIRC There is only support for Linux x64, Mac (both), Win x64, at present. (Meaning no Linux Arm, win32, win arm support)
-
@yngve Thanks for the response. But if that's the case, this should still be mentioned as a "known issue" for the snapshot blog posts, since the test is still ongoing.
-
-
I had mentioned Linux ARM not working. I had not mentioned Windows 32bit. In addition I forgot to add mention of Windows arm64 not being part of the Privacy Guard trial when these packages first appeared.
I have now updated the pages to better reflect the actual situation.
-
With Privacy Guard, my traffic goes through Frankfurt. It works flawlessly, and YouTube serves me German-targeted commercials. But I think a lot of people might be put off by this - receiving commercials in another language. Even if their only purpose is to be closed

@Kocho
Interesting, did you change from Fastest to Random?
Random connect to to US for me.
We get more junk food ad's then.Cheers, mib
