Opening downloaded files automatically is as bad idea as playing videos automatically. I hope they never add it, so we'd never have to turn it off back
Kudos!

I think I may have found a good-enough minimalist setup after a couple of hours experimenting! This blocks everything I care about, usually doesn't leave whitespace (and if it does, it's just pure blank space, not an ever-loading ad), and doesn't seem detected but adblock detectors I've tried.

Tracker blockers enabled:
big.oisd.nl (added)
EasyPrivacy (in default lists)

Ad blocking
Easylist Cookie list (in default lists)
big.oisd.nl (added)

Leave everything else disabled.

I'll report back if this has bad flaws, but so far, so good!

@Pathduck

Yes, the website seems to be "fiddly" to say the least.

uBlock Origin makes it very clean.

However I still find it being the best image search I've tested by quite a margin, I even found it being highly recommended on a Reddit post about Image Search Engines, so it would still be desirable to use it.

A couple of things to add here. This is a custom text file saved as html file with these texts in ->
<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width"> <title> custom page </title> </head> <body background="vi bkg.jpg" style=" background-position: center; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-size: cover; object-fill: fill; height: 100vh; "> </body> </html>
go to setting and do this to point to location of this saved file. Like this ->

Capture.PNG
reopen browser. Check url spelling in address bar of new tab page, it is pointing to location of file on your computer.
You have completed.

note: This method doesn't show any speed dial related like setting button above.

When you are on a page with a video running, when you do not see Picture-in-Picture button, hit the PiP bookmark, you will have Picture in Picture window.

@ZAJDAN You can try to report issue to Vivaldi bug tracker if you can tell the Vivaldi devs how to replicate the issue, and give them a screen recording, may be a complete browser profile.

For anyone else struggling with this still - please note that you need to add the primary domain on which an element such as Chat is getting blocked - not the 3rd party domain it is trying to call.

@Pathduck Sync does not synchronize all browser settings, so I moved the settings file. The browser is heavily configured and such repetitve time expenditure can be skipped if one wants an array of machines or accounts to have the exact same settings, especially visually, by just transferring the settings files. Moving the browser settings broke the bookmarks in my case tho. And I cannot be the only one who has done this. So - as it is very specific - considering it a bug probably is rather not useful but for those few who do the same as I and encounter the same issue there is a solution here now.

To be accurate; The profile was not copied and sync was used normally first, only then Preferences and mpognobbkildjkofajifpdfhcoklimli were moved to the new machine to replace the settings there and skip adjusting the sidebar.

@ecabaj86 said in Chat GPT url:

Hi, is it possible to have Chat GPT as search engine?
Does anyone know proper URL?

Simply why since if ChatGPT doesn't know the answer it makes something up.

Hi, sounds like your company has policies in place for browsers. I'm assuming here this is a company-controlled PC. If it is not, it's even stranger if your system has policies in place for a browser.

Check the url:
vivaldi://policy
if any policies are in place.

Then check the same in Chrome and Edge and compare, i.e.
chrome://policy
edge://policy

Really strange though, that GPO policies would apply to the relatively unknown Vivaldi and not the big browsers. Making me think they have made exceptions for Chrome/Edge/Firefox.
