Control Animations in Vivaldi
Vivaldi Software is working hard on the next version of the popular web browser, Vivaldi 1.11. The company pushes out development builds regularly that enthusiasts can install to get a glimpse at features before they are released in stable versions of the browser.
Users who test these development builds provide Vivaldi with important feedback on these new features and other issues, and also what they like and don't like.
The most recent Vivaldi 1.11 development build, Vivaldi 1.11.917.17 comes with two new features that the company will launch in the stable version of the browser.
The first provides Vivaldi users with options to control animations in the browser. Animations can be fun in the browser, but they can also be annoying as hell. If you ever visited Producthunt, you know how irritating too many animations can be on a website.
Tip: if you use Google Chrome, use this guide to control animations.
Vivaldi: manage animations and gesture sensitivity
Vivaldi plans to launch the next stable version of the browser with an option to control the loading of animations in the browser.
The company has integrated the new feature in the latest development build. You can access it with a click on the "image" icon in the browser's status bar. This loads the image loading controls of the browser, and now also the animation loading controls.
Vivaldi users can set animation loading to three states: always, once, and never. The always state is the default. Vivaldi plays animations when it encounters them, and won't stop doing so.
You can switch that to once, to have the animation play once and then stopped, or never, to never play any animations in the browser.
If you are particularly annoyed by animated gifs and the like in the browser, you may want to switch the load animations setting to never to end that once and for all. Note that animations includes only image-type animation formats such as gif, and not video.
Another feature that is part of the most recent build is an option to manage the mouse gesture sensitivity. The new control can be used to change the minimum stroke length of gestures. The default minimum stroke length is set to 5 pixels, and you may increase it up to 100 pixels in the options.
The easiest way to get there is to load vivaldi://settings/mouse/in the browser's address bar. You find the new Gesture Sensitivity option on the page, and may use a slider to change the minimum stroke length on it.
This can be useful if Vivaldi recognized some of your mouse actions as gestures when they were not.

Doesn’t Windows 8 know that www. or http:// are passe ?
Well it is a bit difficulty to distinguish between name.com domains and files for instance.
I know a service made by google that is similar to Google bookmarks.

@Ashwin–Thankful you delighted my comment; who knows how many “gamers” would have disagreed!
@Martin
The comments section under this very article (3 comments) is identical to the comments section found under the following article:

Not sure what the issue is, but have seen this issue under some other articles recently but did not report it back then.
Omg a badge!!!
Some tangible reward lmao.
It sucks that redditors are going to love the fuck out of it too.
With the cloud, there is no such thing as unlimited storage or privacy. Stop relying on these tech scums. Purchase your own hardware and develop your own solutions.
This is a certified reddit cringe moment. Hilarious how the article’s author tries to dress it up like it’s anything more than a png for doing the reddit corporation’s moderation work for free (or for bribes from companies and political groups)
Almost al unlmited services have a real limit.

For the God’s sake, fix the comments soon please! :[
Yes. Please. Fix the comments.
With Google Chrome, it’s only been 1,500 for some time now.
Anyone who wants to force me in such a way into buying something that I can get elsewhere for free will certainly never see a single dime from my side. I don’t even know how stupid their marketing department is to impose these limits on users instead of offering a valuable product to the paying faction. But they don’t. Even if you pay, you get something that is also available for free elsewhere.
The algorithm has also become less and less savvy in terms of e.g. English/German translations. It used to be that the bot could sort of sense what you were trying to say and put it into different colloquialisms, which was even fun because it was like, “I know what you’re trying to say here, how about…” Now it’s in parts too stupid to translate the simplest sentences correctly, and the suggestions it makes are at times as moronic as those made by Google Translations.
If this is a deep-learning AI that learns from users’ translations and the phrases they choose most often – which, by the way, is a valuable, moneys worthwhile contribution of every free user to this project: They invest their time and texts, thereby providing the necessary data for the AI to do the thing as nicely as they brag about it in the first place – alas, the more unprofessional users discovered the translator, the worse the language of this deep-learning bot has become, the greater the aggregate of linguistically illiterate users has become, and the worse the language of this deep-learning bot has become, as it now learns the drivel of every Tom, Dick and Harry out there, which is why I now get their Mickey Mouse language as suggestions: the inane language of people who can barely spell the alphabet, it seems.
And as a thank you for our time and effort in helping them and their AI learn, they’ve lowered the limit from what was once 5,000 to now 1,500…? A big “fuck off” from here for that! Not a brass farthing from me for this attitude and behaviour, not in a hundred years.
