Föderation · Di 11.07.2023 13:22:26 CRD (https://www.youtube.com/CathodeRayDude, who is not on here i don't think) talked about weird utility software from the nineties having so much feature creep the defaults are so detached from what a regular user is expecting and then you remember the vivaldi browser (@Vivaldi) seems to default to only loading images when you press a hotkey and it blasts you right back to utility software of the ninties (either that or I accidentally toggled them off) |

Föderation · Di 11.07.2023 13:39:40 also, as an aside, Vivaldi is kinda weird? The browser's UI itsself is a Chrome extension. It's written in HTML and shows up in the inspector as an extension page with ID mpognobbkildjkofajifpdfhcoklimli chrome's ui is written entirely as native code Medien: 1 |

Föderation · Di 11.07.2023 13:41:56 it's so much "just a webpage" you can delete the extension and it crashes on launch BUT you can delete all the HTML and you just get a full page chrome 404 error Medien: 1 |

Föderation · Di 11.07.2023 16:54:57 @tay Well, that's a bit like complaining that a car won't run after you've pulled out the engine... 🤪 |
|
Föderation · Di 11.07.2023 17:05:21 @Vivaldi not complaining at all! More to see what happens if you take the fuel out of a running engine |

Föderation · Di 11.07.2023 17:09:07 @tay If you like to play with the stuff, we recommend adding functionality instead of removing it. 😂 |

Föderation · Di 11.07.2023 16:53:06 @tay That is true, and that's what makes it so unique: https://vivaldi.com/blog/vivaldi-browser-vs-google-chrome/#User_interface_Only_in_Vivaldi |

Föderation · Di 11.07.2023 17:09:42 @Vivaldi don't take me for being overly negative - out of the chromium browsers it's my favourite -- i even used to daily drive it back in 2016 i think my only real issue is that my philosophy is start simple, build up, but Vivaldi ships wit a lot of things enabled by default, which for a first time user can be somewhat overwhelming |

Föderation · Di 11.07.2023 17:29:07 @Vivaldi what I mean by that is a stock Vivaldi install has 44 'things' on the screen all vying for the users attention, chrome has 22 and firefox has 18 (23 if you count the sponsored things). Medien: 2 |

Föderation · Mi 12.07.2023 17:37:30 @tay Thanks for the feedback. We're trying to show new users some of the things Vivaldi has to offer - many of which can be easily hidden or disabled. If you think we could improve anything, please consider submitting a feature request: https://help.vivaldi.com/desktop/troubleshoot/request-a-new-feature-in-vivaldi/. 🙂 |

Föderation · Di 11.07.2023 16:36:05 @tay Nope - that's not the default, and it never has been. Please go to Settings > Webpages > Load Images and make sure it's set to "Always" (that setting is also available from the Status Bar if you have it enabled). |

Föderation · Di 11.07.2023 16:37:35 @Vivaldi yeah idk what was going on 😅seems to be fine now? |
