@DoctorG Well, the extension is not to blame. "Browser Boost" offers an option to force the context menu, text selection and copying where webpages disable it. A feature that I thought was useful but eventually caused more harm than good 😅 .

@Hadden89 Yes, it is the same, thanks for letting me know.

@zhoujian1 said in dns-over-https gone:

you think using secure dns in vivaldi browser is advanced and dangerous and may make vivaldi unusable

I did not say dangerous, that is your interpretation. Switching to a problematic SecureDNS provider can result in connection issues with Vivaldi.

@zhoujian1 said in dns-over-https gone:

vivaldi for android does have the setting for secure dns, can you explains that

Vivaldi Android has a ifferent browser UI, that's all.

Internal network settings will be added to Vivaldi Desktop UI at the time Vivaldi developer team decides it.

I think @yural is referring to the use of multiple Profiles and when reopened Vivaldi only opens the last active profile. If that is so then starting Vivaldi with --profile-directory parameter set maybe an option.

Which operating system are you running Vivaldi in?

@h2sm You utter my sentiments exactly. Vivaldi's tab and session management were great, far exceeding any other browser's capabilities for users of many, many tabs like us. That is, until this crash-without-recovery issue arose.

The common suggestions to delete/rename one's profile etc. are completely beside the point, we well know that it's something in the saved session data that's causing the crash, but the saved session data itself is far more important than the choice of browser. Unrecoverable sessions are absolutely not acceptable.

Fortunately I (currently) have a feasible workaround of starting Vivaldi with a private window, then opening a new window, which happens to open the saved session as well (in yet another window). So clearly nothing in that saved session and its tabs is truly preventing Vivaldi from launching, it must be a really dumb error causing those startup crashes, some uncaught and unhandled exception, Programming 101 stuff.

All these years and this bug still persists

@RasheedHolland
read the german version of the article. it's updated with the official answer from vivaldi
(tl,dr: you can disable it in the settings)

OK cool, good to know that it was possible to disable this in Vivaldi the whole time. I aways disable this stuff, but I can't remember since what version Vivaldi gives this option.

@Pathduck I appreciate the solution. What I did was remove the rename tab feature since that's nothing that can't already be done by double clicking on the tab identity.

While I do like that I can customize the UI, what I will say is the fact that I can wake up tomorrow and find that a new feature breaks the way the old(current?) UI functions is somewhat disconcerting. Thanks again.

@venc, yes Gecko is different from Blink, Gecko was independent developed by Mozilla and Blink is a improved fork from WebKit and WebKit was forked by Apple from KHTML made by KDE (Konqueror from KDE (Linux only) still use this engine). A lot of features from Vivaldi are depending from it's engine, so that it can't be switched as is, a lot o features are not possible or at least very difficult to implement in Gecko.
Most Browsers are using Blink, because it is nowadays the best engine.

@RasheedHolland I will do.

Yes, the issue is unfixed, for devtools pane and window.

I opened a bug report:
VB-109095 "Developertools do not remember zoom"

Fixed in 6.9! Thank you.

Edge saves all work spaces in sync . But Vivaldi is assume none the less.

@DoctorG Done, VB-108985 - Error to open Help us Grow

@Pathduck

Hello first of all. I really don't appreciate the condescending manner in which you have replied to my post. You are telling me about something that I am already aware of and have done that previously with other browsers. I am referring to knowing the difference between .HTML file and the Bookmarks/Bookmarks.BAK. Though I was not too clear on what was the difference between Bookmarks and the Bookmarks.BAK files until DoctorG had explained that in his post.

"Again, I tell you to restore your backups you have in this "Carbonite" thing"

when you say that you assumed that I have Carbonite "thing" as you call it which is actually a Robust Back UP software that I have been using for a very long time and it helped me in other instances when I had to restore a file that was deleted. You were not too clear when you said restore the back up. I assumed and that's why I had asked you how do you that as I took it as you were referring in your reply to Bookmarks.BAK. Since I did not say anything about Carbonite in my initial post.

Secondly, No one made any suggestions on how to place the unsorted Bookmarks back into their perspective Bookmarks folders as they were before this problem happened.

Thirdly, "and you should learn to do this regularly as a backup measure"

I don't do that manually as I would have to do that on a daily basis since I add many bookmarks from day to day and I may not always remember to do that. Save the Bookmarks as. HTML file that is. That's why I rely on Carbonite.

Finally, "We can't know what you have done to get into this situation"
I had stated that it is more than likely the EverSync extension might have been the culprit as DoctorG had mentioned that in his post. BTW, I had read the reviews after the fact about the EverSync Extension.

Thank you,

This is exactly the same reason why I also go here as I am trying to use workspace for different roles and sometimes I am looking to the same website but with different credentials. I didn't want to open a new profile for each item as it will be a waste of system resources
