General Software Discussion / Re: Vivaldi - add buttons to panel?

@MilesAhead - just dawned on me.

If you open your Twitter page and another site to the right, you can tile vertically.
Thus have a larger view of what's going on Twitter as you surf to the right.

Just a thought.

Cool.  Thanks.   :Thmbsup:

^ I've started using Edge for video on an older laptop. Was using a lot less resources than others I tried (Firefox, Vivaldi, I can't remember what else)

Edge does seem to be quick.  I hate how stuff keeps changing.  I liked the chrome based Opera at the beginning because I could use most chrome extensions but it did not launch 20 instances when you were only running a couple of tabs like chrome did.  Now Opera seems to have abandoned any attempt to optimize resource usage.  I also notice Edge seems to be updated a couple of times a week.  I hope the programmers aren't doing lines to keep up with that schedule.   8)

Firefox is a waste of space by now. Sad to see it detoriating for a decade.

I know.  It used to be cool.  The main reason I keep it on my system is because the browser that will stream video without stuttering on this cheesy Laptop seems to shift with every update.  I suppose I should get a W11 Laptop soon but there are so many options that vary so much I am not sure which way to go.  It seems to be way more treacherous than choosing a desktop.  Since I am unlikely to have free internet if I do land a subsidized apartment, a Lappy seems to be the only option.  With prices for everything going up I suspect the grocery bill will consume most of the remainder of my income, so paying for broadband will likely be out of the question.

My feeling at the moment is the Laptop should be Ryzen powered.  But I haven't done much reading on them.  Afa the trend in browsers they must have a developer requirement that only control freaks need apply.  I liked things better in the 90's when you could assume that most everything online other than your ISP was free.  Not only that but you could request features from extention authors.  Boy does that seem like a million years ago!

@MilesAhead - glad you got it!  :Thmbsup:

Although i still have a penchant for Firefox, Vivaldi is always nearby.
Brave is good too.
If video issues popup, usually one of these three will resolve the problem.

Speaking of Firefox, I just wasted 90 minutes because they remotely disabled my speed dial.  I swear browsers waste more time just making decisions for you than anything other than Windows.  It drives me nuts.  If only there was a standardized dial so we could select all in one browser and paste into another it would be so cool.  But it has the advantage of keeping me from doing something productive I suppose.   8)

Btw, added Twitter and its button/icon came through in a few seconds.

Thanks.  I will check it out.   :Thmbsup:

Edit:  I got it.   8)
