Comments on An Introduction to Vivaldi Browser on Linux

Thanks for that review, still you have not told us how to use a proxy/socks with Vivaldi!

I never said I would bonbonboi :p

vivaldi --proxy-server="localhost:8118" for a proxy on your own PC listening on port 8118.

Why are there still no network settings in Linux? Try self: vivaldi://settings/network/

And why is there no way either, tao use a SOCKS5 proxy via command line?--proxy-server does only support HTTP and HTTPS requests, as you can see in this documentation

Kudo's on them for having DuckDuckGo listed in the search providers but I have to ding them on having Bing being the first default one. If installing on Windows, maybe, but this is from the Linux .deb package install. Looking forward to trying out the browser though.

I know I can use a search engine, but if you're going to tell people about a website where they can download something, it would be very helpful to give us a link or at least a URL to that website. I'm going to try it out (again). Hopefully it can import and let me manager bookmarks better than Opera (the previous deal-breaker). The damned thing would nest them in folders like so:  Click bookmarks > Other Bookmarks > Imported Bookmarks .... FINALLY! There they are. I tried to cut/paste them to the root bookmarks folder within Opera but no-can-do. That's when I uninstalled it.

The missing download link was a mistake here at howtoforge, the author did add it in his text. I've added the download link now.

I tried Opera on a 32 bit Windows 7 system builder and was not exactly impressed with it. Vivaldi looks better; with the emphasis on mouse gestures - will vivaldi 1.4 DEB work with laptop touchpad w/Ubuntu 16.04 version.

I still can't figure out how to open a webpage or local html page in my default editor. That is, change the _view source_ to use an external editor. This should be in the settings somewhere but I'm not seeing it.

Hi, New V 3.5 is out. Many new Features, fixes and ???? Mobile version!
