Why bother? It's chrome with a more animated (i.e. cpu-wasting) theme. Edit: Oh yeah, and it has the "add copious amounts of artifacts to the memes you screenshot to other people" feature built-in right there! Mithaldu fucked around with this message at 12:13 on Jan 21, 2017 |

The animations use the GPU/iGPU, not the CPU. In other news, Opera 64 bit is now available on Windows on the stable channel. It's a nippy little performer. I'm on Vivaldi these days but it's quite buggy and hard to recommend to laypeople.

If I rapidly highlight and unhilight parts of webpages, Vivaldi crashes. It does teach me about my OCD habits, though, which is nice I guess!

Aunt Beth posted:I haven't found Vivaldi to be particularly buggy today for day-to-day use recently (aside from the typical Chrome pigginess), have you encountered anything major? Just small niggly things. I'm using the beta releases so I can't remember what I experienced in 1.6, one of them was that the delete button on the search field wouldn't delete anything. I think that's now resolved. At the moment, zooming the interface means that the browser close button isn't properly aligned for the very corner of the screen. So nothing major, just things that you don't get on the release channels of other browsers.

Vivaldi is my main browser and it owns bones. Looks great on HiDPI and high resolution monitors, interface is simple, clean and minimalistic. I almost feel bad that I'm not paying for it. Anyways, there is a simple problem and simple fix: if you want search suggestions from google in the address bar while you type you need to put this: code:

The one thing that's still pissing me off about Vivaldi is URL auto-completion, the way it gives you a page from your bookmarks or history instead of the home page. Like, I type "you" and instead of just giving me http://www.youtube.com it fills in the whole URL for a specific video. If I type a slash on the end of that, then suggest more, but the first suggestion should always be the base URL. Tiggum fucked around with this message at 08:21 on Feb 14, 2017 |

I agree, that's a real dumb thing. Honestly, I wish it'd just ignore history and bookmarks altogether but whatever.

I liked using Vivaldi, just could never get any sound to play be it Youtube or Twitch or soundcloud could never get sound to play, the video would play no problem just never sound.

I'm using Vivaldi full time nowadays as well. The URL auto-completion is infuriating, it seems to reset cookies each restart, and sometimes videos in yt, twitter and other places just stop working. But it's definitely the most Opera browser now so I have to use it

It basically does nothing, actually. There's kind of a work-around though: just get a chrome extension that auto deletes history. Then you'll only get per-session history results and bookmark suggestions.

Or just turn autocomplete off and arrow down to suggestions.mobby_6kl posted:it seems to reset cookies each restart

Except no matter what settings you choose, bookmarks and history will always be a part of the suggestions alongside search suggestions. It's a minor thing, but it's there. That's why I don't think that "enable address auto-complete" setting really does anything.

I got myself into the habit of just typing a space after an address to defeat autocomplete. It's gross, but my fingers remember now.

Just found out about Vivaldi yesterday. Definitely has the Opera feel but I've ran into a weird bug where it doesn't end the vivaldi.exe tasks when closing the browser. Think it might be related to downloading a large file in the background. Caused youtube to keep playing sound even though I closed the tab, anyone else get this? edit: Easy reproduce Go here, start downloading 10Gbit test file: http://ovh.net/files Play a youtube video with sound Close Vivaldi Task/youtube keeps playing. Even if you re-open vivaldi and stop the download then exit again, it continues. Have to kill the tasks with task manager instead.

I really like Vivaldi but I do find it a bit buggier than most of the other major browsers. IGN video is currently borked for me.

Did my part and submitted a bug report for it. I'll still try to get by with Vivaldi alone, hopefully I don't resort to installing Chrome. Definitely buggy enough that I can't recommend it to others yet though.

So did anything interesting ever come out of that Opera source code leak? I stopped following after about a week, but in that time I think someone got VP9 working.

They took the approach of keeping the actual source repo off github, and doing the work on github with indirect repos:quote:you can get all patches here: https://github.com/PrestoXen/openopera-patches Mithaldu fucked around with this message at 14:19 on Mar 29, 2017 |

Well that's annoying. Updated to Vivaldi 1.9 and had a broken address bar that had no dropdown. Reverted back to 1.8 and somehow that trashed all my extensions. gently caress. EDIT: OK...so reinstalling extensions kept their old settings, so it looks like the downgrade just made Vivaldi temporarily forget?? I'm confused, but whatever, things are back to normal. I'm getting curmudgeony. lurksion fucked around with this message at 01:48 on Apr 29, 2017 |

Yeah, 1.9 has issues. It changed my default address bar search to a random other search (from Bing). On one PC it changed it to Solarwinds, on another to YouTube.

It also destroyed the ability to play anything on Youtube Live (stuck on loading the video) on my Macbook Pro Retina (2012) or use Chromecast (simply doesn't do anything) in Vivaldi. 1.9 should have been tested quite a bit more to be honest.

I switched from Chrome to Opera this morning after reading Jason Koebler go ga ga over it and yea it's good. I don't keep a kazillion tabs open but I'm noticing things are snappier and the UI doesn't bug me the way Opera used to.

That said, it really bugs me that the first option when I select text is "search" and not "copy". It's very clearly a gambit to get more search dollars and it feels gross.

I switched to Vivaldi after the first time a Chinese company tried to buy Opera, and I couldn't be happier. Now that a Chinese company actually owns Opera, I feel pretty good about my decision.

Vivaldi owns bones, haven't had any issues on the latest version of 1.9 (or any other versions), runs all chrome plugins i want, the Hibernate poo poo is insanely cool with 50-100 tabs, moreso if most of those are video or audio heavy soft bookmarks Condolences to anyone who doesn't feel insanely comfortable with their browser in 2017

(other than by using the browser to use the name opera and not be a fraud, v12)
