Why aren't you using the best browser, Jow Forums?

oh boy, then I'll consider switching

Yay, I hope they have fixed
- the shitty address bar ignoring modifications to history entries
- crashing when closing the inspector
- not being able to expand tab groups
- tab cycling not updating the lru stack if you don't cluck inside the page

Call me when it's 100% open source.

[spoiler]never[/spoiler]

Oh man, I forgot that existed. Add that to Seamonkey and Linx browsers for shit I forgot about up until today.

It is
Proprietary licensed doesn't mean the source code isn't available

I'm using 1.15 right now. I won't pretend it's somehow objectively better than any other browser out there, but it does allow me to put the tab bar on the bottom of the window where I fucking want it and for that reason alone I'll continue using it. Had to find a shell script to unlock H264 video playback though. Probably the same "free software only" approach that Fedora uses.

>proprietary
fairly botnet

fuck, it feels even more sluggish then before.

Where's the source for 2.0?

the guy behind it is the guy who started opera actually

i am. but it's only the best because everything else is utter shit, it's not really an impressive feat

They only release the sourcecode for old versions.

Wtf, it wasn't possible before?
I just tried this and it works.

>Vivaldi is not made available under one unified open source license

Get your botfarm out of here you degenerate, if you need features you add them yourself to chromium base.

i just use it as a secondary browser sometimes.
but i tend to use other profiles on firefox instead of using vivaldi

Does it still open a new tab when right-clicking a bookmark that is in a (sub)folder in the bookmarks toolbar?

>eight hundred megabytes of lzma compressed source code
what the fuck?

Because it doesn't run on FreeBSD. If it did, I might try it, but for now (or maybe forever), I probably have to stick with Firefox.

Vivaldi is an Electron wrapper of Chromium. So it's basically a web browser in a web browser. That's the state of 2018 programmers.

Admit it: Rendering the UI with web technologies in a browser is the only logical way to do things.

Was really surprised when I found out that Firefox Quantum still isn't that, because Vivaldi exists much longer than FFQ.

where's the android version

I wish these guys had open sourced Presto engine before selling Opera to the Chinese. I liked Presto.

I gave Vivaldi a try a few months back once I figured out the Opera guys were behind it. That little hype video has me interested again.

I remember why I gave up on Vivaldi. No default H.264/MP4 video support.

this
It is not.
Just because the source is available doesn't mean it's open source.
Their entire GUI (which is their selling point) is proprietary.

What happened to the v12 source code leak?

It happened.

I really don't understand why this shit company keeps promoting its shit browser here

I know that you scumbags are shameless faggots and beg for users everywhere but for fuck sake leave this place, Jow Forums isn't for promoting your worse than shit product

>STILL no mail client built-in
Into the trash it goes.

mildly botnet

why would you ever want that?

Because it was an Opera 12 feature. Also, the developers promsied me that Vivaldi would have a built-in mail client by 2.0 back when it was in alpha back in 2015.

Because I don't like Chromium's font rendering.

It was comfy in Opera

Vivaldi is a young browser, a lot of basic features wasn't implemented at first. It's evolving quite fast.

>built-in
>mail client
people used the built-in ones??

It pretty much is the true opera successor
considering nu-opera is just another chrome clone

whens the last time you used it? its had this for a long fucking time now

honestly

just wanted to congratulate you on a successful bait

forum.vivaldi.net/topic/28016/time-for-a-new-what-s-the-status-on-the-mail-client-thread
is this you?

How is that bait? I used Opera because it had a built-in mail client.
The mail client was too comfy. Lighter than using a separate mail client and way more useful than opening the webmail page.
I have 7 mail accounts which include 2 Gmail and 2 Outlook accounts. Checking my inboxes trhough webmail would mean logging out and then logging in again.
It's just more convenient to have a mail client built-in.
No, but I was about to post that.

I need 2 things. portableapps support and syncing. I could switch to firefox I guess but... firefox.

Where did you find the script? I'm struggling with it right now

I did get it going, so Vivaldi is cool again.

This would be fixed with a snap or flatpak package.

does shilling on Jow Forums boards gives SO much profit?

don't bring back those memories, it was a simpler time. why is everything sucks now.

Otter Browser never ever

I saw a Soprano's build about three months ago that had mail, but it was very unstable and still

Pajeets do anything for their rupees

is it laggy?

>It pretty much is the true opera successor
Opera was the snappiest browser of all, this laggy js monstrosity is slower than Firefox 45 with 80 add-ons.

is it laggy?

Why the fuck would you need a mail client built into your browser

hey cuck

>Chromium BOTNET reskin
>good

TOP KEK

Opera was the snappiest AND had lots of power-user features.
Chrome started promoting the browser as a whiteboard for pages, with almost no features, to make it snappy, since Chromium is a resource hog.
Vivaldi is bringing the power-user features back. Unfortunately Presto is dead.

Absolutely-botnet/10

>snap and flatpak
Might as well release it as a Windows only EXE and let users run it through WINE for all the effectiveness those shitshows are.

I could have sworn it was open source but still proprietary

pls no

That does not mean a thing. What is your wage at the company?

But Snap and Flatpak work beautifully.

I need to run seperate instances of a browser simultaneouslyand rely on portable versions of chrome to do this. Didn't want to deal with sandboxie or VMs. I couldve done this with firefox but not a fan, plus i need extensions. Same with opera. Vivaldi has extension support but I dont think I can sync things like extensions and have to basically do a manual install or update for each instance.
