18+ robustjumprope, to privacy

Thought about making a poll but I think I'd rather just open discussion with this:

Do you think it is acceptable to use software made by someone you think is a bad person if the software better protects your privacy and security (assuming you want as much privacy as possible)?

I love Firefox, but I want to have a good Chromium backup for the sites where Firefox doesn't work (also developing websites is important to test on multiple browsers) but I don't want to be stuck with vanilla chrome. I've also read from many sources that Brave is the best Chromium browser for privacy. However, I've spoken before about how I do not want to support their homophobic CEO, Brandon Eich, who was fired as CEO of Firefox for his campaign donations before starting Brave. He clearly cares a lot about user privacy, but at the same time, I don't want to support someone who openly donated funds to anti-LGBT legislation.

Which is more important? My moral objections or my privacy? This is why I tend to use Firefox anyway, as Mozilla is more trustworthy imo. But for cases like sites that don't work with Firefox or using PWAs (which Firefox removed on desktop) that I would really like to be able to use, I'm not sure what I think.

It most certainly is time to download Vivaldi. 😉

You can do it on this link 👇

If you caught the stunning display of Aurora lights last night, please share pictures with us in the comment section? 😊✨🌌

We’ll go first. The pictures below are from Hølen in Norway taken by our Android Developer, Gabriel Janucik.

PS: If you’re using Vivaldi, you’ll find some spectacular themes when you search for “Aurora”: https://themes.vivaldi.net/browse?s=Aurora+

@Vivaldi seems like a recent update to the Android app has caused a notable regression in scroll performance when viewing sites (very jittery and laggy).

wondering if this is a known issue?

(Pixel 6 Android 14, Vivaldi 6.7.3335.45)

Vivaldi,
@Vivaldi@vivaldi.net avatar

@andrew_chou

No, can't find any recent reports about issues with scrolling.

Do you have the Address Bar at the top or bottom and is the Tab Bar visible or not?
Also, have you enabled the Tracker and Ad Blocker? If you have, are you using the default blocker lists or have you enabled/added additional blocker lists?

@Vivaldi I have discovered a strange behavior with some unicode characters in the browser, specifically


MUSIC FLAT SIGN
Unicode: U+266D, UTF-8: E2 99 AD

If this character appears within a span with italics the symbol is illegible and renders like this. But in Firefox it renders fine.

Vivaldi,
@Vivaldi@vivaldi.net avatar

@locativeruin

Do you have a web page link to share, where this or other characters fail to be displayed correctly for you.

Also, which OS and Vivaldi version are you on?

It has been pointed out that Vivaldi's "Speed Dials" feature with no ads or affiliate listings is problematic.
Any plans for improvement, @Vivaldi?

You can learn about the Speed Dial bookmarks the browser comes with on our blog here: https://vivaldi.com/blog/vivaldi-business-model/.
To answer your question, there aren't any plans to change them, at least not in the near future.

@Vivaldi another great update has been released - good work team!

I have a question: is there a tricky technical reason why feeds don't synchronise? And why they can't be shown in the mobile version?

Vivaldi,
@Vivaldi@vivaldi.net avatar

@patrickleavy
There indeed are some tricky parts to implementing the syncing of Feeds, plus lots of groundwork needed to be done beforehand, but AFAIK, something is already in progress to get Feeds synced between desktop versions.
Adding Feeds to mobile is a huge task in itself, not to mention syncing of them, so not sure if or when that will happen.

@Vivaldi guys what the hell happened? UI elements suddenly changed...

@thisisartman
There have been some discussions around it, but we'll need to see what exactly we can do.

Bobbymac, to random

@Vivaldi Any plans on adding tagging (metadata) to the notes function? I would find it very helpful to be able to add a few things like "strategy" or "LLM" what ever to define a "reminder/categorization" for future use.

@Bobbymac
There doesn't seem to be anything planned for the near future, but you can show support for the feature request by upvoting 👍 the first post on our Forum: https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/64707/tags-for-notes. Votes help us prioritize tasks. :tony_normal:

@Vivaldi dunno if this is something Youtube changed, or something that went wrong in the last update, but I'm gettingplayback errors on some videos on MacOS - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXPCNJBQGwo - this plays fine in Chrome and Safari

Version: 6.7.3329.21 (Stable channel) (arm64)

@arve
Thanks for sharing the link.
I'm glad the issue is gone and I hope you don't encounter it again. :tony_normal:

@Vivaldi why did all context menus suddenly become bigger? 😭

Vivaldi,
@Vivaldi@vivaldi.net avatar

@chebra
Many of the menus in Vivaldi got a design update.
If you prefer the old design, then you can enable Compact Layout from Settings > Appearance > Menu.

Moved everything from Brave over to Vivaldi. Let's try this again, then.

Vivaldi,
@Vivaldi@vivaldi.net avatar

@czottmann
Let's hope it was a one time occurrence, though even that was one more than we'd like to see.

If you have any questions going forward, don't hesitate to ask.
You can also browse and ask questions on our Forum. We have a great community of expert Vivaldi users there who'll gladly answer any of your questions. :tony_wee:
