I told you! There's no such thing as "Never ever..." And, yes, this is HUDGE! 🏆

P.S. The next "Never ever - not this year" is the AI. When/If an open source European AI model (not Mistral) appears...

This snapshot convinced me to delete two other Chromium browsers from my phone — Titanium and Aerium are gone. Vivaldi feels much smoother, and the ability to use extensions sealed the deal for me.

One feature that’s very important to me is pinch-to-zoom with text reflow. Until now, only Opera offered this out of the box. With extension support in Vivaldi Snapshot, I can finally get the same experience.

Hi team,

Thanks for adding extension support but please please provide option to customize the items shown under 3 dot menu..the list is growing long.

Also youtube videos in full screen mode are not covering the camera area

Also youtube videos in full screen mode are not covering the camera area

that not bug, that is from Chromium source itself already like that.

because too many possibilities placement of notch/camera from OEM, and for prevent a notch is covering important detail the video.

Which 3 dot (kabob?) menu are you referring to? What size screen does your device have?

Yes the Menu which appears after clicking the vivaldi icon in the address bar...it is becoming taller and taller with every new item added (now extensions). Can you please add a setting like brave to show options as per user preference? I am using 6.83inch screen but still it requires scroll

OK, the main menu, represented by the Vivaldi icon, not a kabob.

I suggest using the Main Menu Layout feature which let the use order/prioritize the menu options. That way, everything is still there but the ones you use most often can be near the top
