Windows 10: New Vivaldi

If you use Vivaldi, think twice about downloading the new version. I didn't and not only did I end up with two icons on my desktop but Vivaldi has removed all my saves from the browser, deleted my start page, and dropped all passwords. Now, the only thing stopping me from nuking the idiots. The 'old' icon was left on the page which still had my start page BUT I am now having to put all my saves back in AND it changed my Ten Forums page Theme setting to Flanders. Damn them. Deleted the 'new' icon. Also the new version unilaterally decided that all my tabs should stay open and my start page would be my email! MY entire speed dial has been blown away gone. NOT BLOODY HAPPY. Goodby Vivaldi Hello Opera

Vivaldi

I won't use chrome or opera chrome version. I'm still on opera presto!


For me install location is C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Vivaldi\Application\vivaldi.exe - don't know why. Perhaps that's where I put it.

You would only need to run the installer as admin - not the browser. I note that you seem to be having issues with a few browsers"

Haven't used it much. Used it on Windows 7 for a while. Only been using it on windows 10 for a couple of weeks.

Chrome extensions can be installed.









It also has Window Panel which lets you:

• Drag tabs to change their order.
• Group tabs by topic to save space.
• Tile Tab Stacks to compare several web pages side by side.
• Hibernate unused tabs or Tab Stacks for better performance.
• Pin tabs to ensure they always stay open.
• Mute sound in specific tabs.

 

Vivaldi 2.4

Latest version of Vivaldi is now out.





Tinker and Tweak Toolbars
Toolbars don’t just dictate how your browser looks, but how you interact with it. You can now configure the toolbars in Vivaldi to meet your needs and get easy, immediate access to your most frequently used functions.

We’ve always worked towards giving you a fully customizable user interface. The first step was giving you the possibility to remove buttons from the Navigation Toolbar, only displaying the ones you need. Vivaldi 2.4 opens up a whole new range of options on this front.

In addition to hiding buttons, you can now drag them between the Navigation and Status toolbars – a functionality unique to Vivaldi. Want your Image Capture or Tab Tiling options next to your Back Button? Or to have a Reload button in the Status Bar? Now you can.
