updates Meet the browser: Vivaldi Next

[Boo Berry]

I have to manually sort all 400+ bookmarks in my custom order, which Vivaldi reverses for whatever reason, heh.

 

Like I said, I'll give 2.0 a try.

Oddly enough, Opera before Blink had a similar issue.

Wow, I have been so waiting for this!

 

I think that (under Settings-->Appearance) the "Dark" Interface Colour goes so well with Neowin's Darkside theme, it's like they made it especially for us.

 

No problems here generally, but does anyone know how I can make a Bookmark Toolbar bookmark open up in the SAME window I was just looking at?

 

Thanks! (And thanks to the Vivaldi team for an awesome browser!)

I guess I was fixated on the Tabs tab.

 

Thanks for this! Just what I wanted.

I actually have quite enjoyed this browser so far. Going to use it a lot over the next few days and see if it becomes my new default

Snapshot 1.1.453.6 - Further tab closing options, improved dark UI and more import options

 

 

Highlights are further tab closing activation options, more work on our Dark UI, more import options and a fix for Vivaldi stealing focus under Windows. For the full list of improvements, see the changelog below.

We are rapidly closing in on a final 1.1 release now, so let us know if you see any regressions in behaviour since the 1.0 final.

Goodbye to old Operating Systems

With Vivaldi version 1.1 we will drop support for Windows XP, Vista and versions of MacOSX below 10.9. Recently, the Chromium project dropped support for these older OSes (Operating Systems), since they are no longer actively maintaned by Microsoft and Apple. As Vivaldi is a small team at present, so we cannot afford to support these OSes seperately.

If you are able to, upgrading your OS is the best course of action to ensure secure browsing and access to the latest Vivaldi features and fixes. If not, Vivaldi 1.0 will continue to function, though it will not receive further security updates.

We have also disabled NPAPI plugins for Vivaldi 1.1, now that the support present in Chromium has become too unreliable. PPAPI plugins and new HTML5 technologies should serve as suitable replacements going forward.

I'm really so glad that they finally fixed the URL problem with the browser. Hope they don't break it anytime soon

Is there a bug report repository I can search? If so, I wanna do some searching before I consider reporting the easily reproducible bookmark ordering issue I've experienced.

Not mentioned on the blog yet, but when you go to vivaldi.com to download the browser you get version 1.1 stable (build # 1.1.453.47).

[BooBerry]

No time to rest. Vivaldi 1.1 is here with enhanced tab handling, better hibernation and more!

 

launching Vivaldi 1.1. This is a result of the feedback we've received over the last 3 weeks, to make Vivaldi even better. Read on to find out more about some of the interesting changes.

 

Download Vivaldi 1.1

 

We know tab handling is important for many of you, so we now have even more options. You can select opening behavior on cloned and stacked tabs. You can close all other tabs by holding Alt and clicking on the tab close button or via Quick Commands.

You can further adjust tab activation options upon closing a tab. For instance, you can choose whether to automatically activate the tab to the right or left.

We also made tab hibernation even better. You can now choose to hibernate an entire Tab Stack. You can also select to hibernate tabs by Ctrl or Shift clicking on the tab.

Speed Dials are imported from Opera 12. Hopefully, this will convince some hold-outs to try Vivaldi

We also updated to Chromium 50, which brings in the latest standards support. This means we no longer run on Windows XP, Vista and Mac OSX below 10.9 nor use older (less secure) plugin formats.
