Vivaldi boosts performance with Memory Saver and auto-detects feeds with its Feed Reader
-
I use Vivaldi on Windows and Mac.
With the latest update, my "otto tabs" extension no longer works on Windows.
An alternative "Group Tabs By Domain" also no longer works.
I did a test downgrade and it worked until I updated to the current version.It also no longer works on the mac

Hi,
Verify on a Clean Profile. -
Thank you for Memory Saver. It's great. Can you provide 30 and 15 minute release times as well? If I remember correctly, when this wasn't exposed - but was just a Chrome feature - there were 5 and 10 minute options as well?

@Stagger_Lee Hibernated tabs now should be much dimmer than 'live' tabs. To test, right-click a live one and hibernate the others.
-
@Niefer I agree rounded ends are ugly but they are a trend. Thankfully trends - being just that; trends - reverse, so one day we can expect not to see rounded ends. These are 'Crayon' or 'Kindergarten' UI elements.
-
So far no problems with performance.
A couple of things though:
-
The new tab button position for vertical tabs is really not comfortable. Now I have to go all the way to the bottom of my screen to open a tab that I have to go all the way up my screen to interact with. Trailing tabs was a much more natural position as it is still with horizontal tabs. Not to mention the years of usage with it's placement, this has really thrown off my workflow.
-
Compact menus. It's great that we have this option because not only are the new menus ugly (imo) but the font (on Windows 10) when using the right click menu on pages is too small. For some reason it's smaller than the Vivaldi menu font. I hope this is improved when the time comes that we can't use compact menus

@Zalex108 even with an clean profile, it doesnt work

Do we have some marking what tabs are hibernated ?
I have my tabs now over one hour (settings) and I cannot see difference between hibernated and not hibernated.
In tabs settings, enable the checkbox to dim hibernated tabs (not enabled by default).

Then you will need to check in Chrome and report the results to Otto Tab Dev too.

@Zalex108 There are no problems in Chrome 124.0.6367.92. And it's not just limited to "Otto Tabs", the extension "Group Tabs By Domain", which basically does the same thing, doesn't work either, but it also works in Chrome

@stardepp: Thanks for this I was just about to punch my pc after Vivaldi updated to that ugly style.

Sad that Flathub is not up-to-date – https://flathub.org/apps/com.vivaldi.Vivaldi has 6.6.

hehe I hope "one day" won't be 15 years though, as an example GNOME 3 switched to that "kindergarden-tablet UI" 10 years ago, and because it was adopted by certain Linux corporations it is still there, having created in the meantime its (bizarre) fanboy army too. Fortunately there are always alternatives, in this case too.

Have you tried double-clicking on an open area of the tab bar to open a new tab? It's the best way to open a new tab in my opinion.
-
Yes, thanks for pointing that out. I find that it doesn't always register the clicks though

Loading tabs is slower than in version before. I 1 window, 15 tabs, some are pinned in workspaces.
Switching tabs by keyboard or mouse or interaction can be extremely delayed or not available. Interaction on webpagses not available. And i have not a very old, slow PC. -

@user6741 I don't know if it's feeds that do it, but I have always had 60% CPU on a 10 year old desktop running Vivaldi with mail in Win10. If I turn the mail module off then it's down to 1-2% CPU!
So I checked today - made absolutely no difference if there were feeds or not. It's just using 2 additional threads at 30% whenever the mail module is active.
I don't get this behaviour on my work laptop running Win10, although that is from about 2016 rather than 2010. Maybe it's a quirk in the architecture used on the two machines?
Edit: I'm using IMAP on the work laptop and POP3 on the desktop - maybe that makes a difference? Could the mail module be running an incredibly inefficient wait loop between polling POP accounts?
-
Can I get the new tab button back to right below my tabs?

@Wimmel Read and vote for Return New Tab Button to the Old Place.
