Experiencing some muscle memory rebellion demanding I go back to Arc, but nooo, I am holding strong! Vivaldi is slowly taking shape. Bit by bit I'm learning to do the things I used to do without thinking.

And of course the things I used to do in Arc without thinking are the things I had to make myself learn bit by bit when I was new to Arc, resisting the muscle memory rebellion that was demanding I go back to Brave.

\#browser #vivaldi @vivaldi\_browser

What a sad day. My favorite browser @Vivaldi @vivaldi\_browser failed me after 4+ years. It decided to hard crash and not only corrupt all the tabs, but also the saved sessions, so I can't restore them.

They were also beeing having issues with sync the last few weeks and at least on the forum, Vivaldi ambassadors are very combative about it when it's mentioned. So their own sync failed and then the hard crash corrupted the local session save.

@Vivaldi @vivaldi\_browser Vivaldi is my favorite browser; I've gotten used to its many features and the way it keeps everything organized, and I think I could hardly do without it. But... I feel almost forced to switch because some interactive websites don't work. If I open them with Edge, everything works fine, but if I use Vivaldi, I get various errors, and this has been happening for several months.

\#BAD Reinstalei o navegador depois que restaurei meu PC e agora ele não sincroniza mais os dados. Perdi tudo, as anotações os favoritos :( @Vivaldi @tips @vivaldi\_browser

@vivaldi\_browser Anyone else experiencing Vivaldi sync issues? I haven't had a successful sync for about a week.

@vivaldi\_browser Vivaldi browser is having sync issues... So before foolishly deleting your sync data like someone I know very well just did, check out this page to see if it's @Vivaldi or you who has an issue: https://vivaldistatus.com

One feature request: Custom Video Player for Android (with Swipe Gestures)

This one feature and will be permanently using Vivaldi, forever

@CliffWade I just started using @vivaldi\_browser on my Android phone. Does it have extensions for mobile, like uBlock?

Web Panels gains page navigation and extension support

Vivaldi’s many built-in features are available in the Panels bar. You have always been able to extend Vivaldi by adding any webpage as a Web Panel. You can now also extend the functionality of your Web Panels using full support for Chrome extensions.

By popular demand, your favorite extensions now work inside Web Panels. You can add popular websites like Spotify and WhatsApp as Web Panels, and extend their functionality using extensions available from the Chrome Web Store. Vivaldi is compatible with most Chrome extensions.

Use your favorite extensions inside the Vivaldi Web Panels Extension developers can now also extend the functionality of Vivaldi by adding entire new panels using the Side Panel extension API.

Page navigation within Web Panels

Web Panels are used for more things than we had ever imagined! To accommodate more use cases, we have added page navigation buttons to the Web Panel toolbar. You can now easily navigate Back and Forward, as well as back to the Panel’s start page.

Get an instant overview of website permissions and privacy

Websites constantly prompt you for your permission to do ever more things: get your location, access your camera, send you notifications, and the list goes on. It can be overwhelming as you are just trying to find the information that you are looking for.

Vivaldi now gives you better control over which permissions websites can request. Go to Settings > Privacy and Security > Website Permissions > Global Permission to, e.g., stop websites from pestering you with Notification permission requests.

Get granular control in managing website permissions You can conveniently review your privacy settings as granted permissions are highlighted per website.

Set your preferred webpage color theme

Default to the dark side of the web! Vivaldi now lets you choose your preferred webpage color scheme — dark or light — independent of the Vivaldi Theme or the operating system theme (Dark Mode).

Some websites still do not support Dark Mode. Vivaldi can now automatically generate a dark color theme by adapting the color scheme of any website. You can enable Dark Mode from Settings > Website Appearance.

Faster translations with Vivaldi Translate

Together with our translation service partner, Lingvanex, we have greatly improved the performance of Vivaldi Translate, our top-notch translation service with support for 108 languages. We have also significantly improved the translation quality for some key languages.

Vivaldi Translate does not harvest any information about you or the pages you translate. Vivaldi operates the service from our Icelandic data center, with your privacy as the top priority.

We will continue to prioritize the translation quality and strive to make it better.

Find your messages in Vivaldi Mail

Vivaldi Mail is built around its comprehensive search index; getting the search right has always been the priority! However, people’s mailboxes have grown exponentially over the years. A single online purchase can generate dozens of updates and delivery status messages.

Explore new tools to the Mail Search to find your important emails You may get overwhelmed by too many search results when looking for a particular message. We have addressed this issue by expanding the tools Vivaldi Mail Search shows you to help you find the right message.

To use the new Advanced Search, start typing into the search field as you are used to. Vivaldi Mail will show you every relevant email message. When you get too many results, you can use the new filters that appear right below the search field. You can search within the whole message or just the body or header.

You can pick which folder or mail account to search in and filter searches by Date range, From, To, CC, Subject, the message content, aka Body, or whether they have attachments. You can also filter inverse to only find messages that do not match.

Searches are stored in your browsing history, so you can quickly navigate to an earlier search. You can also save searches as a Filter, for frequently performed searches.

You can find your saved filters in Settings > Mail > Mail Filters and Actions, you can add actions, such as adding a label or marking the message as read, to the messages filtered out in your search.

Data portability for Reading List and Notes (Import/Export)

Your data is your data. You should be able to freely move between apps and services as you wish. Vivaldi believes this should be the norm across apps and platforms.

Vivaldi already supports exporting bookmarks, Speed Dials, logins, among other types of data. We have had some omissions and are working to ensure our users have full data portability.

You can now migrate your data into and out from Vivaldi Notes and Reading List. Notes supports Markdown files (compatible with Joplin and other note apps), and Reading List supports Instapaper CSV format (compatible with Instapaper and other read-later apps).

You can export all your notes and note folders from the File > Export > Notes menu, and for Reading List, export from the File > Export > Reading List menu.

You can import your Notes and Reading List from the File > Import From Application's or Files menu. Choose the new Notes Folder or Reading List options from the dropdown menu.

Export and Import Notes and Reading Lists in Vivaldi easily. Vivaldi believes our products are great for you to use. We do not want to hold you or your data hostage.

Thank you for the gift, Vivaldi! @Vivaldi @vivaldi\_browser #vivaldi

@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

While snapshot 20231024 of @opensuse #Tumbleweed started to cook for about an hour, snapshot 20231023 is fully sync and you can now freely "zypper dup" or grab fresh ISo from official website; and @vivaldi\_browser is part of the game https://get.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/

Testing out #VivaldiSnapshot on #iOS Also one thing I want to mention is if Vivaldi will change Chrome UI from it’s menus. I’d like to see Vivaldi to make its own UI for future updates. @Vivaldi @vivaldi\_browser

updating @opensuse to snapshot 20231012 + getting fresh @vivaldi\_browser snapshot on the list Weekend is cool

@vivaldi\_browser

Warum werden meine web Panels nicht synchronisiert sondern an der Seite ist die standard Leiste.

Kann man Das auch synchronisieren ?

@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!
