I don't mind the screenshots (although icons for some sites would be better) but I find it keeps losing the images and just showing a plain white square, which is pretty useless.

This could also be one of the Chrome flags acting up, if you're getting this behavior whenever you switch tabs. Go to vivaldi://flags#automatic-tab-discarding and select disable if that's the case.

Is there a way to add autocomplete functionality to the searchbox like Firefox has? I'd give Vivaldi a shot as my primary browser if it had that.

Multi-row of tabs would be nice for me.

probably settings > search > enable search suggestions

I'm not totally sure but I have it switched off and get no suggestions

Gave Vivaldi a try as I need a chrome based browser to test stuff anyway. It's surprisingly nice for an early version and even has 1-key shortcuts :woop:

Does Vivaldi have tab stacking?

There's a lot of value in the public being able to see how the system works.
Has anybody using Vivaldi had trouble with getting the Lastpass login panel to do much of anything? My first few sessions it worked fine but now :confuoot: and I don't know what's eating my login attempt when it blinks away.

Anyone have trouble downloading Vivaldi?

It just instantly drops down to 5kb/s, and then cancels after about a minute. I never get more than 1mb or so downloaded.

I've never got the automatic updater to work (which is probably not a bad thing), but I've always been able to download the installer.

I get that issue with the updater a lot but usually not through the website itself.

Well I guess Vivaldi is the best Opera alternative we're going to get, time to give it another go...

The interface has improved since the last time I tested it. The shortcuts and mouse gestures feel great out of the box. I like ctrl+1/ctrl+2 tab cycling tbh, they don't fail when a text field steals focus.

The interface is pretty hackable due to being all Javascript and CSS. I was able to move the status bar up to below the tabs, which is where I like it to be.

It's reasonably responsive when opening and closing tabs, but opening a new window takes a second or two, which makes it annoying to open up a bunch of stuff in private windows.

You can search in page with '.', but you can't press enter to follow a highlighted link while searching. That kind of sucks since that's how I usually browse with the keyboard. :(

All in all pretty promising, I can probably find Chrome extensions for keyboard navigation of links and other niggles.

Just noticed something missing from Vivaldi. When you right-click on a link, there's no option to open it in the current tab (that is, override a link that wants to open in a new tab). That's kind of annoying.

They have that functionality on the bookmarks bar, so it shouldn't be too hard to port it over to in-page links. Go yell at them about it on their forums.

I'm also not a fan of the javascript interface thing they did in general, because it doesn't behave like all normal native applications in some subtle and not so subtle ways. Like there are no context menus on panels and buttons, and you can't click a menu item and then move the mouse to another one, like you can everywhere else.

I really like Vivaldi at first glance, but after using it as my main browser for a few days it's got too many issues to put up with. Maybe when it gets more developed.

Yeah I went back to Opera. What's this issue in Opera with a Chinese buyout or something?

That only affects you if you use Chromera for some reason. Basically, the stakeholder board has decided they want to see some money, so they're selling Opera ASA to a chinese company that quite literally makes malware. The process will take a lot of months though.

Now with less breakage.

We got a surprisingly heavy envelope with information about that a few weeks ago, yeah. The sale only proceeds if a certain high % of the shareholders accept, but given that they bid 70-ish NOK/share when the price was a fair bit lower that seems likely. (I don't think anyone expects the price to go back up on its own to the ~100 it was when the C-levels sold their shares around last Christmas.)

For the record, we have not accepted - not that we own enough shares for it to matter. :)

Well, since the latest update, Vivaldi doesn't play videos any more. Webms are just blank and YouTube videos play sound but not video. If this doesn't get fixed soon it's going to be a massive pain in the arse.

Same here. Other than having chrome and that chromium ffmpeg thing installed (which I don't think anything changed between 1.0 and 1.1) the only thing I can think of is to backup .config/vivaldi and see if a fresh profile works.

My main gripe with current Opera is the obnoxiously large tab bar, is there a way to shrink it to a more moderate size (like in Chrome)?

Opera Vivaldi can do that :smug:

seriously though, I have no idea, and I doubt the ability exists in Chrompera

Vivaldis last update also added the ability to quickly stack all tabs from a specific host, something i was using a ton with a plugin in Opera 12. It's like they're reading my mind!

Checking in: have they added in a highlight text -> Search With to Vivaldi? Or, barring that, is there an extension that can that draws from Vivaldi's search engines?

It's really fundamental to how I browse and it's forced me to use Chromopera precisely because they have it. I've found extensions but they all seem to have their own search engine list and I add and customize them too often to keep two lists.

It's not there natively. I'm not sure about an extension, but I doubt that one exists which supports Vivaldi's local search engine list.

It only searches my default engine, though. It's not a submenu.

Yeah. He's talking about the Search With function, not just the Search item. Opera has Search With (even the new, crappy Opera).

I'm trying out Opera on my laptop (Windows 10) and I can't figure out how to make the triple-finger swipe make the browser go back or forward a page. The same gesture works in Chrome and Firefox. Is there an extension I need?

New update to Vivaldi makes it so that when I hit Ctrl+F the search box disappears when I go to a new page. This is maddening and I cant find anything in the settings for this :(

Opera had a thing where you could right-click on an image and click "properties" and it would tell you the dimensions, file name, alt/title text etc. and I wish Vivaldi had that too.
