Edit.
I tried to run the one at program files. And it no works.
It opens a blue window and it stacks there.
I have an idea :
I backup my user profile (at Appdata folder) I uninstall with Revo any Vivaldi installation (it finds the one at AppData) ,
and cleanup the registry I do a new clean installation for all users I copy the profile's elements at the new installation
This will fix the issue ?

You're not the only one with that screen navigation setup. I like it too.
I'd add that when you see a page with sound, the speaker icon appears and gets confused with the close grip symbol - which means a hassle.

@tam710562 said in Any idea for placing my videofile on speeddial page background?:

@Kunsite You can put the file in vivaldi's installation folder and you can use the host that vivaldi creates

Example
C:\Users{User}\AppData\Local\Vivaldi\Application\7.4.3682.3\resources\vivaldi\sample.mp4
and the path will be
chrome-extension://mpognobbkildjkofajifpdfhcoklimli/sample.mp4

Note: Vivaldi will delete this folder every time it updates, so you must copy the file again every time you update to a new version.

Or you can change the code of @LonM like below to load local files

(async function videobg() {
'use strict';

const VIDEOFILE = 'D:/sample.mp4'; /path to video/
const arrayBuffer = await vivaldi.mailPrivate.readFileToBuffer(VIDEOFILE);
const blob = new Blob([arrayBuffer]);
const videoUrl = URL.createObjectURL(blob);

/**
Initialise the mod Create the html and place it before the header div so that it appears "behind" the UI
*/
function initMod() {
const browser = document.getElementById('header');
if (browser) {
browser.insertAdjacentHTML('beforebegin', <video src="${videoUrl}" autoplay loop muted disablepictureinpicture disableremoteplayback style="height: 100vh; width: 100vw; position: absolute; object-fit: fill;"> </video>)
} else { setTimeout(initMod, 500); }
}
/* Start 500ms after the browser is opened */
setTimeout(initMod, 500);
})();

I will write to myself for the future. But for now (it is very strange) I will not start any http server, but working first custom.js on this theme with string like
const VIDEOFILE = "http://localhost:8000/20240627_085425.mp4"; /*path to video*/
I do not know, how, but it is working! Thanks for another method also.

While I dislike Vivaldi for making this opt-out change for long-time users, I also love Vivaldi for maintaining the ability through customization to effectively revert the 7.0 UI update. The cartoon icons and unnecessary whitespace everywhere was confounding and maddening, but Vivaldi is once again as I liked it! Thank you!

Netflix Issue

@CStallone I had this problem a while ago on Windows - one of my Vivaldi installations refused to play Netflix regardless of whether I used a fresh profile or not, another installation worked just fine. I didn't do too much research into the issue because I was just moving from Windows to Linux anyway and it works just fine on Linux.

So I haven't tried this hint yet myself but try and see if it works for you

@Pathduck Preferrably the shortcut should open the dev tools yea, but it shouldn't close it again. Once dev tools is opened the shortcut to select an element only works when the focus is inside the devtools, which is quite annoying, That's the main problem imo.

@kimoo
Better would be to add another 4GB to your system, 4GB is just at the low end of modern browsers.
The source size dosn't really matter, installed it is 800MB and the user data folder can reach GB's after some time.
Install 7.3 as Standalone install and test it for a while.

Said:

For having the ability them to auto update when they need an update. Do you really believe anybody who uses userscript managers will tolerate ending up loading them and update them manually?

I forgot this paragraph from an old post of mine:

"This alternative is more suitable for styles that are already consolidated and that you are not going to change constantly."

@mib2berlin Yes, just found out that only with this setting I can use the addressbar button for any language.
I hope I'll get accustomed to that.
In case to have to translate anything from German to English I'll use DeepL in panel instead.

And for website translations in other languages it helps to set "translate always".

@bilibili233 You should contact Huorong support for the issue of blocking Vivaldi.

Additionally, Vivaldi stopped allowing websites to use geolocation on my device just yesterday. Fortunately, with @zeeth's help, I can manage until it's fixed.

Unsolved How to opt-out of sending the "unique user ID" from my browser installation to their servers?

@xew “Not strictly necessary” is relative. Vivaldi needs the count to survive—and only if Vivaldi survives, will we be able to continue using the browser.

Please read https://vivaldi.com/blog/how-we-count-our-users/. Developers have worked on alternative ways of counting users, but in the end the results weren’t sufficiently accurate, or we would have switched long ago. If you can’t accept this reality, then don’t use the browser.
