@Sectever
Defender work fine, I use it myself.
To be honest, I have no further ideas. 😕

@Pathduck Awesome! Now it's very opera-like, that's what I wanted, thanks.

@mib2berlin Yeah, apparently I wanted a Downloads Popup and not a Downloads Panel, problem solved.

I literally cannot use this browser on my laptop before this feature gets added. I saw another post about this dated 2018. How has it been 7 years and two-finger gestures still aren't here? Unacceptable.

@janrif Does this video help?

Use F2 when focused on a note to edit the title.
Or just use the context menu like everyone else.

You can use any emoji site you want, and there are many.
https://emojidb.org
https://emojipedia.org
https://emojifinder.com

In Windows, emojis can also be added directly with Winkey+. but the selection is quite limited.

This just happened to me too, was restarting my Macbook when this happened. How do I restore this?

Thanks, at least there is a solution in this topic:

"You can already do it.
Two settings need to be activated.
vivaldi://settings/downloads/ > Save Files to Default Location Without Asking and chrome://settings/downloads > Ask where to save each file before downloading"

Now that I've discovered where it came from, I did some debugging, and since the darkening status is AFAICT set correctly, my guess is that the only thing not happening is a display refresh of the underlying web page, which appear to not be triggered for some reason (so the darkening isn't displayed immediately); until the user clicks outside the dialog (or perhaps something else can also trigger the refresh).

@SuneEnough
Hi, where you had it, I have extensions in the status bar and popup's work.

If history is an open type database like SQLite, I could try removing out entries that raise security concerns for me; not many, so that would be still a hefty file, but still a possible safety relief.

(Well, maybe I could just work from within Vivaldi... seems to be fast and precise enough. A moment, OK, I have to do some work today before going on a private crusade; already delayed by a chillingly noisy fan.)

@NamLemonade Please report issue to Vivaldi bug tracker, include as much detail as possible.
Once that is done, share the bug number (beginning with VB-) you got by bug report mail.

And if interested read blog article, if you like to know about "A bug’s life at Vivaldi".

Thanks for helping us making Vivaldi better.

for the last few weeks, every time I first start vivaldi, it stops with the force start message. It then closes.
vivaldi 7.3.3635.11 win 10 ublock origin
it began with the vpn integration release, which i do not use.

Everything is fine otherwise.
the worry is that it seems to be a long running issue.

Do you still experience this? I have had this issue for months, still happening for me on 7.3.3635.11 in Windows 11.

As a hobby/side-job sounddesign/music guy I got curious by this thread and measured it. I can't find any differences between Chrome and Vivaldi at all. So I think those who assume it must be an extension or something driver related in your case makes sense - I don't think it's the browser itself. (Makes sense, both are chromium based).

Here is my result (don't be confused if LUFS values slightly differ, especially with the song-test, it's mostly because of the screenshot time, in the moved measurement or "overall average" there was no difference. And in this case the frequency spectrum and stereo-width was the most interesting part anyway.

Vivaldi:

Sine Wave Test via YouTube:

Vivaldi:

Test Song via SoundCloud (same playtime, same moment of screenshot +/- some milliseconds):
(Again: don't be confused with the LUFS difference in the moment of the screenshot, the Spectrogram is the interesting part here, if you looked at the running measurement you could see that all the other values wiggled around the same values)
Chrome:

Vivaldi:

Can't find any differences in audio rendering between both browsers.

Hope that it helps you, if you can at least rule out the "naked browser" as potential cause.

I even tried using Resource Hacker, and it didn't work.

Thanks @lfisk it worked! I didn't know about it.

Vivaldi 7.3/7.4 is still not able to translate a web page page where parts have different language.
Ignoring lang-attributes of HTML markup is a fail!

Broken Vivaldi Translate on web page is a real lack of usability and accessibility.

@azipha Edge has a setting to run in background when you close it.
Open edge://settings/system/systemSubPage
Disable "Startup Boost" and "Background when Edge was closed" (sorry, i translated from my german Edge).

That is strange...
If you go to vivaldi:settings/tabs/ you can disable the preview images completely. The checkbox is labelled "Show miniature image in tabs" or similar. On the screenshot you can see it in German "Miniaturansichten innerhalb der Tabs anzeigen".

Unchecking that box should remove the preview from the tabs.

@KooiInc Complexity offers flexibility. As a web developer I'm sure you appreciate that 🙂
