Hello!

In the regular weekly build number 1.0.288.3, ​​we decided to please you with an impressive list of fixed bugs. Many will be happy to see our work on the restoration of the function of creating page thumbnails on the Express panel. However, there is something else interesting. In particular, we added geolocation support.

Geolocation support

Yes, we added this useful (as marketers say) function to the Vivaldi browser. Now every dog using this technology websites will be able to determine where you are and offer a lot of intrusive services useful services directly next to your location. However, we promised that you would be provided with maximum control over the operation of the browser, so you can decide whether to provide access to geolocation data or not using the appropriate pop-up dialog box:

Sketches of the express panel

We have completed the first step in correcting the function of creating thumbnails on the Express panel, and now they should be created automatically when a new cell is added. Also, the function of individual update thumbnails with the appropriate button has earned again. In fact, there is still a lot of work on debugging and improvement, and there are also mistakes to be, but we have taken the first steps in the right direction and are planning not to stop there.
