@vivaldi_browser
the global look for your mastodon instance (like most instances) is too generic, possible you bring in there your talent to make it look the very place of social HYPE?
@gnome known that @vivaldi_browser is no more a small and tiny but a giant player in the web browser and online services, i suggest they should be added into the online account section and not only relate to basic IMAP/SMTP provider
@vivaldi_browser
this is nice (see attachment) but it happens that when I use #Bing to do researches the browser becomes unresponsive after less than a minute and i have to kill the process
Keine Ahnung, mir ist es bis jetzt nicht aufgefallen. Das müsstest du besser im Forum oder in Mastodon nachfragen, hier in Lemmy ist es kein ofizieller Kanal von Vivaldi wo auch die Devs mitmachen.
@vivaldi_browser I recently reset my password but I keep getting notifications that I've requested a new password even though I haven't. what can I do to fix this? Thank you!
I been using the browser for few days. I noticed it takes more than 1GB on my iPhone and iPad already and keep increasing even after i clear all history, restarting the devices didn't help. Is this a bug? @Vivaldi@vivaldi_browser
@nadsdlonyer
Yes, there seems to be a bug, though since most of the data is in the temporary folder, the system should clean it up automatically.
Our devs are currently investigating the issue and hopefully they'll find a solution soon.
@alexsouto
You must have accidentally removed it.
To get it back, you can either reset the full toolbar by right-clicking on another button and selecting Edit > Reset Toolbar to Default.
Or select Edit > Customize Toolbar and drag the "Back" button to where you want it.
Hope this helps. :tony_normal:
For the 2nd time, the Vivaldi browser seems to have blacked out the screen for any page related to my other instance kolektiva.social. I cannot go to my own page with the browser but all others show up. This is the second time this has happened in as many weeks and the plethora of other glitchs, leaves me regretting my article praising Vivaldi. The only support I received is a thank you for submitting a bug report. I had to uninstall to fix this problem originally.
Thank you for your response.
To my knowledge, it does not open in private windows either. The last time it occurred was after clearing my browser history, however, my Vivaldi.social account and every other page loads without issue. The page that's blacked out does appear in other browsers without issue as well. regarding your query about extensions, I've yet to install any, other than themes. Ivan tried changing seems to see if that would help, but it did not.
In regard to the translator: I'm very thorough in my methods. Initially I thought the text was too long so, I tried it with one word, a few words and a couple of sentences respectively. I received a message saying the language was not detectable.
In regard to ttoolbar customization: after dragging icons to the top and sidebar, the icons that were visible, vanish when I click "done".
The misspelling of the word "toolbar" above is a problem exclusive to Vivaldi when using my voice recognition software. No other browser misspells words and the frequency of the issue seems to be increasing. The word pen is misspelled every time with an extra "N"– "penn". I use a professional voice recognition software as an accommodation to my limb difference disability. Sometimes it actually prints gibberish instead of a word. I've made several spelling corrections in this communication but, left one as an example.
When attempting to sign in to my Vivaldi account using the icon in the sidebar, the password manager does not auto fill the username and password fields for me. When opening a regular window to Vivaldi.social, the password manager operates correctly. In both regular windows and the sidebar, the checkbox "remember me on this device", has never remembered me. if that feature function properly, it would offer a remedy to the issue about the password manager not functioning for sidebar sign in.
Unfortunately, this is all I can remember right now but I believe I encountered other issues as well.
@OutOfExile_IDR_Voice
Private windows share lots of settings with the main window, so please try a guest window and a new user profile as well.
Does the translation work, when you set a language manually?
I tried, but was not able to reproduce the issue with toolbar customization.
Have you discussed the voice recognition issue also with the software provider? Do they have any ideas, why it doesn't work well in Vivaldi?
Do you use an internal or external (extension) password manager?
Neither the post not the original toot claim Vivaldi does [Enhanced Safe Browsing].
And your comparison about standard safe browsing is irrelevant. It never submitted the info to Google and was always optional feature on all browsers. Also it protects not only from links, but infected files too, based on their hashes.
And while Vivaldi having ad blocker natively is a boon as that’s one less extension to fingerprint you on, it’s far worse than uBlock Origin. Though fingerprinting aspect is irrelevant on Vivaldi as they have no protections against it. So there is really no reason to not use uBlock Origin.
Browserleaks say other things, websites know my Public IP (this from the ISP central server), when I don’t us an VPN, almost all other data, apart of screen resolution, The OS is shown wrong (Windows32), also most other data are wrong or n/d, which give also wrong fingerprints, or fingerprints of millon other users, The adblocker isn’t even detected, because of the anti-adblock filters. Anyway, both Vivaldi and the Defender in Windows make it impossible to download infected files, they are blocked in the moment. Extensions, well, I can use them, eg.Trace for Fingerprint spoofing/randomizing, but then most of the pages I visit don’t work or don’t work as hey should. Thids with the safe browsing it’s always a compromise between too much and too little and I think I have it pretty balanced. For this reason I only use the Site Bleacher extension, Nitter Redirect, Link-Unshorten and some specific ones not related to security and privacy (graphic Tools, informations, etc.).
With Chrome's new privacy concerns, I really want to stop using it. However I love the Chrome developer tools and overall experience better than Firefox. I just want to de-google it.
There are options! I've just started using @vivaldi_browser and so far I really like it!
Some of you guys will bend over backwards in the mouth of an active volcano to avoid using firefox and cling to your chromium based spy browsers, and i don’t understand it.
I’m tired of shit being talked about FF, when its been the absolute champion of user privacy and open customization. It’s never let me down once.
Firefox is certainly a good alternative to Chrome and Google (despite the relationship it has with this moloch), but Vivaldi too. Vivaldi use Blink, but with this ends any similarity or relationship with Chrome and Google. And speaking about Privacy, FF is is not much better (at least if you don’t sync with Mozilla, which share data with Alphabet.Inc).
Vivaldi don’t share nothing to third parties, because it don’t have third party investors and don’t make money with surveillance advertising. In customization Vivaldi is Lightyears above any other Browser without any doubts. You can change anything in Vivaldi, Menu’s, UI, Icons and much more, or use one of the more than 4.000 Themes, created by the users
The only you can say is, that the alternatives to Chrome and Edge are running out, of more than 100 browsers that currently exist, only Firefox (maybe also some not too much outdated forks), Vivaldi and perhaps Otter Browser, remain as usable, nothing else.
Et de la plus belle des manières 😏 Nouvelles fonctionnalités, personnalisation, sécurité, synchronisation, multiplateforme, etc. J'en passe et des meilleurs 😎
