There seems to be a few others that have the same issue so you are definitely not alone

@daj @bumble @Vivaldi

Got reported yesterday. Fixed today, but will take a few days for an update to be released.

Well my first time I noticed @Vivaldi crashed on me 😕 not good.

Not sure why either, I tried deleting the cache that didn't work.

cliffwade,
@cliffwade@allthingstech.social avatar

@stu Uh oh, that's not good. What were you doing when it crashed?

I assume you got it working again?

✨ One gripe is that I can never remember how to rearrange the icons in my extension panel. They rarely change order, but every once in a while, I need to re-install an extension, and all ordering hell breaks loose.

Turns out, you have to hold down the ⌘ key, then click and drag on the extension icon before letting go of the ⌘ key and then your mouse button.

Started the day with a nice meeting with the Ambassador leader and Sopranos leader for @Vivaldi as well as with @beardedtechguy this morning.

Was nice to get to meet these two ladies who do so much for the community in various ways.

I'm honored to be a part of the Vivaldi community and with so many awesome others as well.

Thank you @marialeal for having us as a part of all of this!

beardedtechguy,
@beardedtechguy@allthingstech.social avatar

@cliffwade @Vivaldi @marialeal It was a great meeting indeed. Thanks Maria for having us, and looking forward to contributing to the growth and future of Vivaldi!

beardedtechguy,
@beardedtechguy@allthingstech.social avatar

Loving my new Start Page in my @Vivaldi browser.

Simple and elegant.

cliffwade,
@cliffwade@allthingstech.social avatar

@beardedtechguy That looks nice. Is that an extension or just some customizations you have made in various ways?

I forgot to post about this yesterday, though not surprising due to how extremely busy work has been with the Play Store release of Nova 8.

I applied for the Vivaldi Sopranos program and it looks like I've been accepted. I'll have some accounts setup on Monday for me so I'll be able to dive in head first and see what all is going on.

That means I'm now an Ambassador and a Soprano for @Vivaldi which is pretty exciting!

beardedtechguy,
@beardedtechguy@allthingstech.social avatar

@cliffwade @Vivaldi Thanks. Just waiting to hear back from @marialeal. 😁

🎉 Exciting news for our Android folks!

On the latest update on Vivaldi 6.7, we've amped up Translate, improved the Tracker and Ad blocker functionality, tweaked the Bookmarks manager, and many other features based on YOUR feedback.

🔖 We understand that Bookmarks are one of the most important aspects of your browsing. Now, Vivaldi remembers the last folder you opened in the Bookmarks Panel. We've also tidied up your bookmarks by sorting folders first, making navigation a breeze.

⚙️ We work with Lingvanex continuously to make the built-in Vivaldi Translate more efficient. With an improved performance and the quality of translations, we hope you'll find speedy results.

In addition to the above, we’ve polished the user interface and made improvements to features across the board.

Find out what they are and enjoy browsing with more of these powerful browser features👇🏻

@Vivaldi I'd love to use it on my Librem 5, but you don't release your mobile ARM version for Linux, only Android. 😞

Trying to set up Kagi.com as default search engine in Vivaldi. Pasted in the session link from Kagi in the search settings of Vivaldi but whenever I type in Vivaldi’s search field or search (Ctrl + T and term) I’m just redirected to Kagi.com, no search results show up?

Als je de retoriek van sommige partijvoorzitters hoort, dan gaat het enkel over ‘anderen, die de hardwerkende #Vlaming het leven zuur maken’. Die anderen, dat zijn dan de Walen, de sossen, #Vivaldi, migranten, linksen … Onwillekeurig moet ik daarbij denken aan #1984 van #Orwell, waarin ‘Goldstein’ ook de (imaginaire) vijand is waartegen voortdurend de haat moet opgepookt worden, zodat De Partij aan de macht blijft. #verkiezingen #politiek https://www.vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/2024/04/28/verkiezingsmeeting-n-va-speech-bart-de-wever/

Ik vind dit echt een triestig schouwspel. Eén van onze zogenaamde beste politici van deze generatie die niet verder komt dan telkens maar de schuld bij anderen leggen, anderen schofferen, anderen belachelijk maken of kleineren … en zo iemand moet dan een coalitie vormen?

If you used M2 in Opera and enjoyed it, you really should be using Vivaldi Mail (M3).

If you have never used M2 or M3, maybe it is time to give it a try?

https://vivaldi.com/features/mail/

jon,
@jon@vivaldi.net avatar

@aronkvh

I guess it is a question of learning a few of the tricks. Some suggestions:

  1. Only show direct mails in the unread folder. Hide custom folders and mailing lists.

  2. Move important mailing lists into the important folder. Close the other folder and only click the parent folder to see what is inside.

  3. Learn to use the view toggles. Use different settings for different folders, depending on what makes sense. I often hide unread mails to only show new ones, for example.

  4. Use keyboard shortcuts, such as T to view a thread and E to view the contact.

  5. Undo is your friend. If you mark a mail as read, use Undo to bring it back.

  6. Personally I queue mails for later sending. I guess it is old school undo sending mail...

  7. Prefetch all mails. That means all the mail gets indexed.

  8. Search is a function you should expect to use a lot. It is fast. Thus you can spend less time organizing your mail.

@jon I tried setting up Vivaldi Calendar yesterday. It seemed to recognize all of my CalDav events fine. The problem is that it does not seem to sync events back.

So now I created a few events that do not reflect in my web calendar nor on my phone. 😢

I am using Infomaniak Calendar for the account.

I have been building browsers for 30 years now. First Opera and now Vivaldi. My estimate is that more than 1 billion have used one of my browsers or both. Have you?

Feel free to share your story!

@jon I first used Opera on Slackware 9. It was an amazing experience.

@jon Opera for Nintendo DS was very special!

@offby1@wandering.shop avatar

My weird gripe as I try it out: the tab close buttons are on the "wrong" side of the tabs, and are very sensitive. I've closed a lot of tabs by accident trying to switch to them.

offby1,
@offby1@wandering.shop avatar

@webology not that I have noticed

webology,
@webology@mastodon.social avatar

@offby1 Interesting. Where my average thread size is 80MB with Chrome it's 20MB with Vivaldi.

I don't see any processes >=300MB on Vivaldi, but I have several in the 600MB and 1GB range.

That's with a week's worth of open tabs vs. opening an old session from a few months ago in Chrome.

So maybe an unfair comparison, but my 2019 doesn't care if I have one window open for five with Vivaldi. With Chrome, my machine was barely usable after a few windows and my normal browsing habits.

@Vivaldi Bug report:

  • OS: Fedora Linux 40.20240424.0 (Silverblue) x86_64
  • DE: GNOME 46.1 (Wayland)

After signing in after sleep, Vivaldi renders at @1x even though my screen is set to @2x.

(Moving the window around or resizing it, etc., re-renders it at the correct resolution.)

@aral Installed from flatpak, I presume? I will update it shortly. That might improve things.

Tired of those random browser crashes ruining your gaming or video streaming?

This Friday, upgrade your desktop browsing experience with the Memory Saver option on Vivaldi 6.7.

Game on, stress off! 🎮✨

Don't have the Vivaldi browser yet? Download it here: https://vivaldi.com/download/

@miyu@vivaldi.net avatar

@Vivaldi I appreciate your efforts in attempting to reproduce this issue. Regarding the problem I reported, it occurs only in the web page area. If you need information about my device or OS version, please let me know.

Vivaldi,
@Vivaldi@vivaldi.net avatar

@miyu
We released a new version of Vivaldi on Android yesterday. If you haven't already, please update the app and keep an eye out for the issue. Personally, I haven't seen any blank pages recently, so hopefully the bug is gone.

stu,
@stu@allthingstech.social avatar

I have been using @Vivaldi for a few hours since I installed it earlier this morning.

I am beginning to really like the and also the side bar on desktop. Easy access to all important features.

Keep up the great work @Vivaldi and devs

@jon@vivaldi.net avatar

This month it is 30 years since I started working on browsers. April 1994 is when Geir and I started working on the Opera browser. We founded the company a year later.

Initially I made the UI, while Geir did a lot of the core.

Since that time I have dedicated myself to making the Web live up to its potential. First at Opera and now at Vivaldi.

If you ever used Opera and you have not tried Vivaldi, I invite you to give us a try!

If you never used Opera or Vivaldi, you are invited as well!

I have used Firefox, DuckDuckGo and Opera for the past 20ish years. How does Vivaldi compare to them?

jon,
@jon@vivaldi.net avatar

@MichaelBishop @Vivaldi

Have a look at :

https://vivaldi.com

We are in a different league when it comes to functionality and customization, but do not take my word for it. Give it a try.

stu,
@stu@allthingstech.social avatar

I am using @Vivaldi right now and are we able to use extensions ?

#extensions #vivaldi

cliffwade,
@cliffwade@allthingstech.social avatar

@stu Same way you do in Chrome or any other browser. Just go to the Chrome extension store and add what you want.

@Vivaldi

stu,

@cliffwade oh okay I was looking for a setting or something within vivaldi lol

I am excited and honored to announce that I am now an official Ambassador for the @Vivaldi web browser!

This is a browser I've been using for about 8 months now and absolutely love everything about the browser itself as well as the team that makes it and the community they have built.

I couldn't be happier to endorse a browser that works as great and as quick as Vivaldi!

stu,
@stu@allthingstech.social avatar

@cliffwade Just curious on how you become Ambassador for Vivaldi?

@Vivaldi

cliffwade,
@cliffwade@allthingstech.social avatar

@stu You would need to send an email to ambassadors @ vivaldi . com and they will reply letting you know what you need to do.

I also suggest you follow @marialeal who is in charge of the Ambassadors program.

@Vivaldi

jon,
@jon@vivaldi.net avatar

I know a lot of you use @Vivaldi and would like to help us grow. Here are a few things you can do to help us grow. Thank you for your support!

  1. Recommend @Vivaldi to your friends. Help them install and setup. Show them the features you think they would most like.

  2. Follow @Vivaldi here and on other social networks you frequent.

  3. Boost articles by @Vivaldi which have a broader appeal here and on other social networks.

  4. Invite your friends to join Vivaldi Social.

Have a great day!

@AAKL @jon @Vivaldi I have a 3 year old mid level Android with 90 tabs open in Vivaldi and its running super fast, zero crashes and almost everything renders perfectly. It is weird how well it works plus you can give the ceo and devs hell here on Mastodon and they will listen. Dope company.

jon, (edited )
@jon@vivaldi.net avatar

Vivaldi has a lot of features. Which of these features are you using?

Shout out to Vivaldi browser for showing the link address (bottom left of browser window) when hovering over a text link on a web page. I've been wanting this for awhile now, and just realized it showed up recently.
THANK YOU!

NeadReport,
@NeadReport@vivaldi.net avatar

@ramon Weird. 'Hover over' is showing on all three Status Bar options, even 'hide status bar'

ramon,
@ramon@vivaldi.net avatar

@NeadReport I can't confirm that.
When Status Bar = Hide Status Bar in Settings > Appearance > Window Appearance, nothing is displayed on link hovering.
