Thema: Opera / Vivaldi

[SiLæncer]

Today’s snapshot includes a collection of different bug fixes and improvements, and updates Chromium to 78.

Known issues

    The macOS version is an earlier build due to Apple having issues notarizating developer’s applications quickly enough, following the Catalina update: while there are changes between 1691.4 and 1692.4, they are not things that most people would notice and hence the changelog below is valid.
    [Regression] Disabling “Settings → Address bar → Address Auto-Complete → Always Prefer Bookmarks” breaks search in the URL field (VB-58716)
    [Linux][Regression] Widevine is installed with 600 permissions (VB-58717)
    Workround: sudo chmod -R +r /var/opt/vivaldi-snapshot/WidevineCdm
