Colourful tab stacks and a more concise tab context menu are the headline changes on offer the latest update to the Chromium-based Vivaldi web browser. Vivaldi 7.5 follows May’s Vivaldi 7.4 release, which offered new controls over website permissions, a simplified profile picker, and refinements to the address bar. So what’s new in Vivaldi 7.5? Custom colours for Tab Stacks (aka tab groups) was one of the ‘most requested’ features from Vivaldi users, so the team set about adding them.

#Vivaldi 7.4 Update Adds New Keyboard Shortcut Controls
▻https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2025/05/vivaldi-7-4-released-with-stuff
A new version of the Vivaldi web browser is available to download, carrying changes said to make our collective “everyday browsing smoother, faster, and just a little more delightful.” How does Vivaldi 7.4 make browsing the increasingly gamified, algorithmically manipulative and Ai slopified modern web more ‘delightful’? Shortcuts. More specifically, Vivaldi 7.4 gives you the ability to “fine-tune” how shortcuts behave on a per-site basis. If you want a website’s shortcuts to take priority over Vivaldi’s, you can. “It’s about putting you in control, making sure your shortcuts work where and when you need them most”, says Jon von Tetzchner, […] You’re reading Vivaldi 7.4 Update Adds New Keyboard Shortcut Controls, a blog post from OMG!

The Vivaldi web browser is famed for offering a plethora of options, settings and features that cater to all kinds of use-cases and needs — today it added a new one: an integrated VPN. Proton VPN for Vivaldi is exactly what it says it is: Proton VPN in Vivaldi – as in, no need to download an app or configure anything on a system level since you click a button and, bam, it’s there in browser, ready to use when/if you need.

#Vivaldi 7.2 Released with Speed Improvements + More

A big Vivaldi web browser update is rolling out with a set of appreciable improvements long-time users will like, and would-be users may be tempted to try. Vivaldi 7.2 amps up its address bar logic to proffer more relevant results, faster. Search suggestions and search accuracy have been tweaked so that “finding what you need feels seamless”, according to Vivaldi Technologies’ CEO Jon von Tetzchner. Sticking with the speed theme, Vivaldi 7.2 is said to load pages faster—up to 2x as fast for some—thanks to some nifty optimised connection handling work on the backend that reduces latency on domain lookup.

Vivaldi web browser has just released its first major update of the year – a corker it is, too! Fans of the Chromium-based browser—though Vivaldi Technologies doesn’t appear to be part of the new Linux Foundation-led Supporters of Chromium Browsers project—will discover a bunch of improvements to the Dashboard feature Vivaldi 7.0 delivered. A new weather widget can be added to see current conditions and hourly and weekly weather forecasts for custom locations, plus the ability to set a preferred temperate, precipitation and wind speed unit (celsius, mm, and mph ftw).

Vivaldi 7.0 is out, and the makers describe it as not merely an update but ‘a new Vivaldi’ entirely. Those familiar with the browser will instantly see why, as Vivaldi finally gets an overdue UI redesign: there’s a new theme using pill-shaped floating tabs and a new set of in-app icons (which can be changed back to the old ones for those who aren’t a fan). On the new tab page (or “start page” in Vivaldi parlance) there’s an all-new Dashboard feature with widgets that users can customise to provide a more informative view-port than a static speed dial n’ […] You’re reading Vivaldi 7.0 Released with New UI, Dashboard Feature + More, a blog post from OMG!

#vivaldi Web Browser is Now Available as a Snap

Vivaldi web browser has arrived on the Canonical Snap Store – officially. This closed-source, Chromium-based web browser has been available on Linux since its debut in 2015, providing an official DEB package for Ubuntu users (which adds an APT repo for ongoing updates). And last year it became possible to get Vivaldi on Flathub – though that Flatpak build is only semi-official: maintained and packaged by a Vivaldi engineer, but not a recommended or supported package by Vivaldi itself – not yet, anyway! So to hear Vivaldi is embracing the Snap format is an interesting, albeit not surprising, move. Vivaldi […] You’re reading Vivaldi Web Browser is Now Available as a Snap, a blog post from OMG!

A new version of Vivaldi, the power-user’s preferred browser (right?) is out with a symphony—don’t groan—of improvements. While most people use the Vivaldi web browser for browsing the web — and it has plenty of features which enhance that experience — it’s able to do a fair bit more than that, offering built-in tools for note taking, todos, a clock/timer, calendar, RSS reader, e-mail client and more.

Vivaldi 6.5 includes some nice new features, a few of which enhance and build on existing ones introduced in earlier releases: Of these, the new ‘Sessions Panel’ is the standout addition — not least because it’s been one of the most requested features from Vivaldi users!

Some code sleuthing suggests this Chromium-based, closed-source web browser hopes to arrive on Flathub soon, becoming the latest big-name software vendor to adopt Flatpak and Flathub as a primary means for Linux users to install their wares.

Incidence of #SARS-CoV-2 infection according to baseline antibody status in staff and residents of 100 long-term care facilities (#VIVALDI): a prospective cohort study - The Lancet Healthy Longevity
▻https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanhl/article/PIIS2666-7568(21)00093-3/abstract
In summary, the risk of a SARS-CoV-2 #reinfection was substantially reduced in staff and residents of LTCFs who were SARS-CoV-2 antibody-positive and the observed reinfections were not clinically severe. Understanding the correlates of immunity that protect against future infection will be fundamental to policy decisions regarding LTCFs, including re-vaccination schedules and the ongoing need for non-pharmaceutical interventions to prevent SARS-CoV-2 transmission.

On aurait pu penser en effet que ces personnes plus âgées présentent des réponses immunitaires moins robustes en raison de l’âge avancé.
En fait on sait maintenant que les sujets âgés font plus de formes sévères, ces dernières entraînant l’immunité acquise (« naturelle ») la plus forte.

#Colorimétrie des #navigateurs.
Quelqu’un sait pourquoi la page de test ▻http://www.color.org/version4html.xalter s’affiche comme ça dans #Vivaldi :
alors qu’elle s’affiche comme ça dans #Firefox :
Je crois que j’ai trouvé un début de réponse, mais ça m’aide moyen #ICC #LUT :
> Red is green, blue is purple, etc.
That is probably because the ICC has two components:
A LUT and a matrix.
And in this case, since chrome does not support LUT’s, matrix is used.
This is wrong. If the ICC has both the LUT and a matrix, *fall-back matrix should not be used*.
That is because said matrix may be intentionally broken, and have swapped colors.
The use case is precisely this - making it trivially easy to visually detect apps with broken color management.
Also, i would really love to see in-chrome option to disable color management for this precise reason.

Les #masques #CSS – 24 jours de web
▻http://www.24joursdeweb.fr/2013/les-masques-css
Le masquage est une technique de composition qui permet de combiner plusieurs images en une seule, où l’une des images va être utilisée pour masquer certaines parties des autres. Pour parler simplement, la première image correspond à l’élément graphique (la source) qui peut être composée d’images, de textes, de vidéos ou de n’importe quel autre contenu de notre page web. La seconde image est le masque et va agir comme un pochoir pour ne laisser visible qu’une certaine partie de notre source graphique.
Il existe deux catégories de masques :
Les masques basés sur une forme vectorielle définissant la zone visible de l’élément, c’est ce qu’on appelle le clipping.
Les masques basés sur une image en niveau de gris définissant quelles parties d’un élément sont masquées et quelles parties sont visibles, c’est le masking.
Si vous êtes habitués à utiliser les masques de Photoshop, vous pouvez facilement assimiler que le masking correspond aux masques de fusion alors que le clipping correspond aux masques vectoriels ou 1-bit mask.
