    BTW guys, how to fix the "right click" context menu in Vivaldi? I see that all of the image actions like "open image in new tab" have now been grouped together. I've read that you can customize this but I can't find this option anywhere. Seriously, why would developers create such problems, it doesn't make any sense.

    Vivaldi's a lot like Opera Presto was. A great browser, but they change things for no apparent reason and rarely fix bugs.

    I am kind of new to Vivaldi. So many settings in this browser. Can anyone tell me how to get rid of this bar?

    alternative solution: enable the status bar via settings if it's disabled and then click "hide panel" button on the bottom left corner.

    I know that.
    The link shows the the version number (3.7.2218.55) under the column "Get the latest version of Vivaldi"

    The article "Minor update (3) for Vivaldi Desktop Browser 3.7" published after my post #1479.

    Yes, thanks for this Stapp. I now see that you can customize it, the problem is that I was used to having certain entries on a certain position in the context menu, so now I have to figure this out again.

    It's not even a bad idea to give an option to customize the context menu, but in practice it's a bit annoying. And yes, it would be nice if they fixed certain bugs and annoyances. But overall it's still the best browser out there IMO.

    I've been test driving Vivalidi for awhile and so far I haven't experienced any show stopping bugs. What problems do you see with it?

    Won't remember my ProtonMail password and claims I have no saved logins, even though I do (Ubuntu).

    It works well on Mac for me. Not so good on Ubuntu.

    Correct, there are no show stopping bugs, otherwise I wouldn't still be a huge Vivaldi fan. It's more about minor annoyances like the stupid warning when downloading files. And I'm a bit disappointed that they don't often implement user requests.
