Vivaldi 7.5 gets second minor update to fix camera, tab, and mail bugs by Paul Hill Vivaldi 7.5 has just received its second minor update since it was released six days ago. While minor releases like this may not generate a lot of excitement, this update is different because it addresses several bugs that are quite annoying to the user. Among the fixes are proper camera activation when you’re using Google Meet, issues with dragging tabs, and mail display glitches. These minor updates mean you don’t have to suffer with annoying bugs until the next big update. Probably the most notable issue was that the camera wouldn’t activate when trying to use Google Meet, a tool that’s crucial for some people’s remote work/meetings. The bug had something to do with permissions not being granted when it was trying to activate. Another issue that has been resolved pertains to tab management. Vivaldi was suffering from an issue where tabs that were dragged to a new window were being duplicated. There was also an issue causing colors to go missing on new tabs in stacks. These fixes should help improve user workflow. The mail client also received two fixes with this update, firstly, there was a persistent exclamation icon without visible errors showing, and secondly, users were running into unnecessary threading warnings. Both of these are sorted now, enhancing the experience of the integrated mail client. Finally, there is a fix to the address bar which was moving when it shouldn’t have been when users were holding Ctrl and dragging. Issues with website scrolling have been fixed too. The scrolling fix in particular should make it better navigating the web. The new update is now available for download and should apply automatically soon. If you want to update manually just go to the Vivaldi menu > Help > Check for Updates. If you’ve been affected by any of the bugs be sure to update promptly.

Man, I miss the good old days when you can choose what you want to install with Windows and what not. Windows 98 installation setup FTW! 😁

Wait, before we get into a debate about the need for these type of tools, can we look at the really weird issues with this scam? Chinese scammers are scamming other Chinese people, asking for money through WeChat Pay and Alipay, in RMB?!? In f*****g China? What are these wannabe scammers smoking? :))

for anyone who's interested, this tool is very handy for remove crap, and also install crap... https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil

There's a form of irony here, with Microsoft touting improved security for their systems while installing things that people don't want, causing people to look for unofficial ways to get rid of those things. That leads them to these kind of apps which contain ransomware/viruses, which negates Microsoft's suggestion that they are more secure moving to Windows 11.
