We have a new release for you.

We have a new release for you. Vivaldi 7.1 on Windows, Mac and Linux.

My favorite new feature is the weather widget. I have added 4 of them. Allows me to see weather and time in 4 different places.

Enjoy!

@jon @Vivaldi Would be nice if you could get it to change every, say 15 seconds so you only needed one.

I guess that would be an option for the future. I kind of like having more of them as it does not require me to wait.

@jon @Vivaldi Fix the top bar icons not aligning with the clickable regions on Linux already. I've been sitting on Vivaldi 6.7.3329.41 because newer versions won't align the icons right and can only be shut down via the menu as a result.

@jon @Vivaldi Could make it so you could click through them or add left and right arrows to cycle them faster. Really depends how many other widgets people have and how much space becomes a premium.

@cynical13 @Vivaldi

There are options. We will have to see what we can do.

@RandamuMaki @Vivaldi

Could you report a bug and send me the bug number? We likely need details on the issue you are having so that we can fix it. It sounds like it could be related to your window manager or setup, so we need that information and images to be able to see what you are seeing and resolve it.

I hate Widgets.
Is there a deb package yet?
I'd try Vivaldi if there was a real install package for debian/mint etc.

@jon @Vivaldi Does drag-and-drop upload work on the new version? Or is there just something wrong with mine and it should have worked? Thank you!!

Drag-and-drop to upload a file worked fine on a couple of websites I tested it on.

Try it in a Guest Profile (https://help.vivaldi.com/desktop/tabs/guest-view/) or a new User Profile (https://help.vivaldi.com/desktop/tools/user-profiles/). If it works there, something in the main profile is causing the issue.
Check out this Help page to troubleshoot the issue: https://help.vivaldi.com/desktop/troubleshoot/troubleshooting-issues/.

If it happens in a clean profile as well, please file a bug with a detailed description of the issue on https://vivaldi.com/bugreport/.

Head over to https://vivaldi.com/download/ and click on the arrow next to the download button to select a different version.

@Vivaldi Thanks for the troubleshooting instructions! I was able to discover that the problem lies with the Flatpak version. I installed it from the Vivaldi website and drag-and-drop works fine. In the Linux Mint software manager, only the Flatpak is available to install.

One of our devs did a little investigation and found that it's an issue with filesystem access.
We'll try to fix it on our side, but as a quick fix he suggested looking for "All user files" using Flatseal (https://flathub.org/apps/com.github.tchx84.Flatseal) and allowing filesystem=home permission for Vivaldi.
