@[email protected] Well, the update doesn't really convince me. I absolutely welcome the separation between RSS feeds and emails. That's what I already recommended to you Jon, thanks for the implementation! But personally I don't need the dashboard. Especially not when I can integrate websites but apparently no AdBlocker ... interacts with them. So I get websites with a lot of advertising:-(Over the topic MV3 ... When will the great team around Vivaldi finally tackle the topic VISIBLY and successfully? After all, in the very foreseeable future, ublock origin will be eliminated and max will be replaced by a light. In my opinion, a very weak replacement that is pushing more and more users to use other browsers. I'am moving too more and more in this direction and feel compelled to change after many Vivaldi years. Because only bling bling functions don't help me. And -I like the browser in general and the company too ...

@[email protected] @[email protected] I used it for a while before returning to modded Firefox. I liked it until it refused to work on Amazon (which I hate, but when you live in the middle of nowhere). One day Vivaldi just up and refused and no amount of nothing would change its mind. Plus, the ad-blocker drama.

@[email protected] I have been meaning to tell you for a while now, I tried Vivaldi once about a month ago but just didn't like it. It seemed too unfamiliar to me, but I especially hated the sidebar at the right hand side of the screen. Maybe there is a way to get rid of it or move it to the top (which is where I'd want it), but it wasn't immediately obvious and at the time I didn't have a lot of time to spend trying to figure it out, so I just uninstalled it and used Ungoogled Chromium instead (this was for a site that Firefox wouldn't display properly).

I might suggest you would maybe have more users if there was a way to make Vivaldi look more like browsers we are used to. I am aware that some people really love Vivaldi, but then maybe that is like saying some Linux users really love emacs or vim (while most regular users are happy with nano)!

@[email protected] I appreciate the new dashboard, but it would be so much better, I could maximize the widgets.

@[email protected] , this is just the beginning. Make sure to share those ideas with us and we will see what we can do. :)

@[email protected] the Dashboard is such an amazing feature. I absolutely love it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

@[email protected] I've said it before but I think it bears repeating: my only issue with Vivaldi is Blink. I even care about that even more than Vivaldi not being FLOSS. I fully understand the reasons for it, but still it would be better if it offered at least WebKit and/or Gecko as an alternative.

@[email protected] It does seem to be faster and more responsive.

Haven't tested the new version yet but can the address bar finally auto-pickup Open Search definitions of visited sites? That's basically the one feature that keeps me using Chromium :S

@[email protected] I like the new design and the dashboard

@[email protected] A good step in the right direction.
