  • Fair enough. It’s nice to have something that just works out of the box and doesn’t need much configuration, for sure.
    And even though most points you have mentioned are actually doable in OBS, they need additional setup/configuration or a plugin. But I personally don’t mind that, and in most cases I prefer that, especially granular configuration of video settings.







  • I think the only way to show the icon on the status bar with tasker is using the notification (notify task) and giving it an icon.

         Profile: Detect Auto-rotation setting change
        	Event: Custom Setting [ Type:System Name:accelerometer_rotation Value:* ]
        
        
        
        Enter Task: Un-notify if autorotate off
        
        A1: Custom Setting [
             Type: System
             Name: accelerometer_rotation
             Read Setting To: %arstat ]
        
        A2: Notify Cancel [
             Title: ar ]
            If  [ %arstat ~ 0 ]
        
        A3: Notify [
             Title: ar
             Icon: mw_device_screen_rotation
             Number: 0
             Priority: 3
             LED Colour: Red
             LED Rate: 0 ]
            If  [ %arstat ~ 1 ]
        
           
    

    You can set the notification to silent.













  • I’m not the OP, but Vivaldi has been my main browser for many years now.
    The reason why some people like Vivaldi is the same reason why other people dislike it. It has a lot of additional features and customization options that other browsers don’t. You may find that cool (e.g., people who used old Opera), or you may dislike it, because “I just want a browser to open web pages.”

    But anyways…here are some features that I really like and I miss in other browsers:

    • Highly customizable shortcuts, gestures and command chains (macros) I use mouse gestures a lot, and on Firefox I had to install an extension to get that feature. Also one tiny feature that I love in Vivaldi, that I really miss in other browsers is to switch tabs by scrolling mousewheel while the cursor is over the tab bar.
    • Easy way to add custom search engines (I assume other browsers have this too, but I know that on Firefox it’s a little bit longer process to make one)
    • Many ways to organize tabs (stacking, grouping, renaming tab groups…)
    • Tab tiling (arranging opened webpages in a single window, good for comparing stuff or multitasking)
    • Mail client and RSS feed reader (not very polished but it’s still convenient)
    • Workspaces (good for separating tabs, e.g., work, shopping, entertainment…)
    • Simple markdown notes (you can access them quickly from a side panel, and u can quickly add selected text from a webpage by right clicking the text and add to note)
    • Customizable menus (e.g., customizing options that are presented in the right click context menu)
    • Quick commands (it’s like a command palette from which you can search history, bookmarks, run commands, do simple calculations, etc.) you could in theory make your browser UI-less and just use the Quick commands.

    Those are just some of my favorites but there is a lot more…And almost all of these additional features you can disable selectively if you wish to do so.
