Vivaldi Browser

(The Interview is in Norwegian, use the inbuild translator of the browser or the Linguist Translator extension https://github.com/translate-tools/linguist )

The conversation touches upon topics such as the impact of algorithm-driven content, a brief journey through computing history, a comparison of different tech ecosystems and the importance of building strong tech relationships.

Fans of the Vivaldi web browser will be pleased to hear it's now available to install from Flathub. Vivaldi's Flathub package is still not official or verified,

(quickly fixed)

This may be old news to some, but maybe it will help a wayward soul somewhere....

Vivaldi was really slow when starting up, and it would stay slow with multiple cores pegged at 100% on my Linux system. Eventually it would crash and I'd have to start it back up again.

Slow in this case means delays in responses to clicks, scrolls, etc.

Anyhow, I discovered that scanning pages for RSS feeds was enabled. I disabled that and my browser starts up very quickly now.

If you have a lot of tabs and RSS scanning is enabled I believe it tries to load every page and scan the contents, but it was too much for my fairly beefy system.

tl;dr: disable scanning for RSS feeds if you don't use it.

Thank you for the gift, Vivaldi! @Vivaldi @vivaldi_browser #vivaldi

@vivaldi_browser
the global look for your mastodon instance (like most instances) is too generic, possible you bring in there your talent to make it look the very place of social HYPE?

@gnome known that @vivaldi_browser is no more a small and tiny but a giant player in the web browser and online services, i suggest they should be added into the online account section and not only relate to basic IMAP/SMTP provider

@vivaldi_browser
this is nice (see attachment) but it happens that when I use #Bing to do researches the browser becomes unresponsive after less than a minute and i have to kill the process
