Hi,
Not the composer; the browser.
I've just discovered this: see https://vivaldi.com/.
This is the V1.0 release and even got coverage in today's Guardian: see
https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/apr/06/vivaldi-the-new-web-browser-for-power-users.
I've just installed it and it seems very usable, although it doesn't
play well
with KDE Activities (it's on them all), so I probably won't use it.
Also I
couldn't see any way to prevent scripts running, either by a setting
or by a
plug-in (it doesn't seem to have any).
They claim to be aiming the browser at 'Power Users' (that's us;
right?) by
offering features that don't appear in other browsers or by putting back
features that have been previously removed by a process of
dumbing-down. It
certainly seems to work OK as far as it goes.
I'd be interesting to hear what others think of it.
Cheers for that Terry, not seen or heard anything about Vivaidi,
downloaded and installed no issue (64bit Deb), let see how it goes.
Been having major issues with the BBC news site and Firefox in regards
to playing video's lets see how this one does.
Yes, Downloaded and installed into my W10 running in a VM on Kubuntu,
and it is very quick. No probs so far, now to put it on Kubuntu. I
notice that it's people came out of Opera.
