OK, decided to DL this and give it a try and wow, another browser that is nearly impossible to use on a touch screen.  Seems fast and reasonable stable but my fingers just can't reliably hit the touch targets.  The glyphs are both small and too close together for me.

Hmm.... I don't think Vivaldi has been thought for touch-oriented people. 

 

BUT, you can increase the UI as a whole:

I literally downloaded 430 on another computer 1 hour before this post! Awesome :D

 

They still need to fix a problem that appeared back in the address bar which lower cases your searches.

OMG. I can't believe they haven't fixed the issue they introduced with the URL. When we start typing it lowercases the first letter. This is kind of annoying, but not deal breaker.

next build.

they are working on it.

YEAH! :D:D:D Congratulations to the Vivaldi team. Awesome browser! The Url problem still has to be fixed. Hopefully they fix it soon. Now that they've released their first browser, cool things will bound to happen. :D:D

 

Anyways I also hope they fix the problem with the UI, which shrinks or gets bigger if you ctrl+scroll when the page hasn't loaded yet.

Tried it again, uninstalled it again within 10 minutes. Hiding the speed dial is still a PITA, and it still messes up/reverses custom bookmark order.

 

I'll try it again once it hits 2.0.

speed dial is not that hard to remove(no links?)

it's on their pipeline

This is something in our pipeline and will come after we have released the final version

but who knows when it'll actually be released

 

 

also can't you sort the bookmarks?

At least give it a fair try for a few day before trowing it in the bin.

Feedback is important for them & your problem is strange one so why don't you tell them about it?

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By +mram · Posted

      Umm, read my answer again! If you have something to add or contribute, feel free. Otherwise my point was that you apparently dont want faster updates... so you want slower updates by process of elimination. If you have something to contribute, meaningful answers are better.

    • Visual Studio finally gets long-awaited feature that developers will love

      By Eder Cardoso · Posted

      These features described above are good, but far from what developers will like the most. The main feature that developers will care and love the most it's called "Bring Your Own Models". It gives us the ability to connect to LOCAL AI models running on Ollama. The feature it's located on GitHub Copilot tab -> On the model picker where you can select "manage models" instead of paid models and then it will show you the "Bring your own models" window where you can now select Ollama and the endpoint of your local server. So if you have a beefy spec machine you can now use your own model 100% local inside Visual Studio 2026 18.7.0
    • Microsoft Teams is getting a controversial location tracking feature that users may hate

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft Teams is getting a controversial location tracking feature that users may hate by Usama Jawad Image generated with Microsoft Copilot Earlier this year, Microsoft planned to roll out a controversial location tracking feature in Teams, but following customer feedback, it decided to delay its release. The bad news is that the company has decided to launch it later this year, but it's based on roughly the same design that was shared earlier, which means that many users still have good reason to worry. Basically, Microsoft Places and Teams have received workplace check-ins via Wi-Fi. The idea is that if an employee arrives at the office and connects to their enterprise network, their profile status indicator will show them as being present in the office. For example, if you arrive at work, open Teams on your PC, and connect to the "Studio B" company Wi-Fi network, your Teams profile will indicate that you are present in "Studio B", as shown below: Microsoft says that this feature is basically a replacement for physical workplace check-in peripherals, it reduces the need to manually update your status, and it also enables co-workers to know that you're at work so that they can coordinate in-person meetings with you. IT admins can enable this workplace check-in capability at a tenant level, and users have the ability to control whether they want to enable it or not. Of course, all of that sounds great on paper, but naturally, many Teams customers may still have concerns, as they did before. This is because it enables your reporting manager and other members of the organization to track if you are at the office, when you arrive at the office, and where you are right now. This could be problematic for people who work in what they consider to be flexible work environments or hybrid setups, and this kind of location tracking could be considered an invasion of privacy. Microsoft has tried to alleviate some of these concerns by letting users know that they can manually set their location easily, which essentially overrides workplace check-in if they feel uncomfortable with it. However, that doesn't really solve the problem because your organization could enforce a workplace policy that mandates that this feature remains enabled. The Redmond tech giant has also assured users that this capability does not store historical data and is only a real-time indicator of location. Finally, it only generates a signal when you connect to a corporate network, which means that if you are working from home and connect your PC to your personal Wi-Fi, it won't broadcast your location to your employer; you will simply be shown as "Remote". Microsoft has encouraged IT admins to prepare for this change and begin informing users so they know what to expect once it begins rolling out later this year.
