Tiggum posted:I've switched from Opera to Vivaldi and it's mostly close enough to how I want it to work, but one thing does keep irritating me. In Opera, I could select text that was part of a hyperlink. In Vivaldi it seems to just drag the hyperlink for some reason. Is there any way to fix that? I'm not seeing a setting for it, but you could probably make a feature request for a toggle between click-and-dragging hyperlinks and selecting text in them. Devs are active in devblog comments, and I believe they are also active enough on their forum (though I haven't been around there too much). In any case given their mission statement for Vivaldi I think they'd want to add customisation where they can.

Tiggum posted:If I'm high (or low) enough to not drag the link it just selects from the start (or end) of the line. Works for me on Vivaldi and all other browsers on Windows 10. It might work differently on another OS. Also, when I drag a link, it doesn't display the URL like in your screenshot, so I'm thinking it might be an OS thing.

I don't know how useful this is as a data point, but I'm on Win 7 and getting the drag with URL displayed behavior. Selecting from slightly above (but not below!) the link lets me select text in the middle of it. EDIT: For some reason I have to click really close to the top of the link to get it to work for links in posts, though. HMS Boromir fucked around with this message at 21:33 on Feb 8, 2016 |

That "issue" of being unable to directly highlight linked text is my most hated thing about Chrome (and it looks like any chrome-based browser). gently caress you and your attempt at "helpfulness"

Anyone have a selection for a (more reliable than I'm using) script blocker for Vivaldi? I'm currently using ScriptBlock 1.3.0 out of the Chrome extensions catalog, but after a few clicks per session it gives up loading the settings UI until I restart Vivaldi. Example below. I click and all I get is a cute little arrow instead of the Allow/Block/Temp dialog.

You can select text in links by clicking above because you click outside the square that is the actual link, and enable "select mode" there; but it doesn't actually set the selection start point there because you haven't clicked on a text element. As you slide down onto the text, it then sets the start position where your cursor enters the text. I assume this would not work if the link is buried in a paragraph of text without padding between the lines, since you'd always end up with the cursor in the line above. It is really dumb and they expect you to just select outside, and edit your selection afterwards.

Mithaldu posted:Same here. Maybe they changed something with the SSL on those sheets. 12 only supports old, generally-considered-broken TLS implementations, so it's going to get harder and harder to use as everyone gets better about/at encrypting everything. The only solution I can think of is connecting through a proxy that speaks the new TLS suites to the world and the old ones to Opera, which is basically MITMing yourself  Can Opera use a proxy that's not set up as the web proxy for the whole system? This is really only feasible if only Opera 12 (and any other old un-patched software) can be shunted through the proxy or if the proxy can silently pass through newer implementations because modern browsers will probably start throwing up error pages for outdated crypto pretty soon.

Re: Selecting link text - there's an extension/add-on called 'Select like a Boss' for Chrome/Firefox, with it you can drag left/right to select the text and up/down to drag the link. Use that.

So i've downloaded and giving that Vivaldi browser a tryout, i've imported my chrome bookmarks and installed a ton of extensions that i have in my chrome browser. Anyhow when i try to view twitch i get "Could not load plugin" and when watching YouTube i get no sound. Wondering if there's a fix for this or do i need to un-install re-install flash player or something ??

Go to adobe's get flash page, select "download flash for a different computer", and from the dropdown pick the Opera & Chromium/PPAPI version.

So I just switched from Chrome Opera to Vivaldi Chrome and so far I like it, especially since adblock and lastpass work properly now. Performance is a bit wonky on my laptop when it's on battery but otherwise quite solid. Very happy they fixed blurry text on HI-DPI screens. That buyout makes me squeamish so I guess it's a good thing I'm switching over
