I'll be posting the solution I mentioned to @ammesonb soon. However, I'd like to be as thorough as possible. The process is a bit complicated and I'd like to include screenshots where possible. That means it will take some time. I have family visiting this weekend, so it may take until next weekend to get it done. Apologies, but life stops for noone.

The Settings → Address Bar → Security Features → Always Use Secure Connection (HTTPS) is completely nonsense for me as, it does not deactivate the Forced HTTPS 😕

When Vivaldi does uses forced HTTPS, i fear that users will use an other browser as Ungoogled Chromium, Edge, Firefox or Brave or leave Vivaldi as their browser.

@skyisthela Clicking "Reset Remote Data" in Settings > Sync does just what is says - it deletes the Remote Data - not the data on your local system.

So if you have your data (bookmarks, logins, notes, settings etc) on your local machine, just reset the remote data, sign in again.

This time remember to save your encryption key in a safe place.
You have to sign in to Sync again on all devices and they will start syncing.

There's some other reports that needed to delete a folder and Profile

Default\Storage\ ext (that one and its content)
This rebuilds Mail and Feeds

--

I had that problem too tome ago but not now with Mail and some Feeds.
Did both options and spent some time without them on V
After some updates tested again and the CPU is normal.

I've added that Feed you've shared and n a Clean Profile and had no CPU problems.

I'll see on next days

@VanishedOne said in 6.6 | Bookmarks nicknames not working in URL bar:

I'm unsure whether it's related, but my bookmark nicknames stopped working after the 6.7.3329.17 version update, and I discovered that I could get them working again by re-ticking Bookmarks in the Drop-Down Menu Priority list. It appears that Bookmarks Nicknames (a separate item) has a dependency on Bookmarks that didn't exist previously.

I'm afraid it doesn't fix the problem that I reported. It's so weird that they forgot to fix this stuff, which should be quite simple to do.

@BunxBun

Can you perhaps give some examples of websites, where you see this problem?

Thanks (you're fast!),

How/where do I edit the context-menu? You show me what I have?

EDIT: perfect, found it!

@HilowDanial No, I wasn't able to find a solution, sadly.

@wibrst You have to disable Vivaldi’s default ad-blocking to view YouTube videos.

A workaround is the make a quick command for History Back, Delay 100, History Forward. This will skip the initial ad, but not inline ads.

Clearing YouTube cookies, and restarting Vivaldi may make ad-blocking work on YouTube for a week or two, then the message reappears.

There are some other solutions in this thread: Annoying ads on YouTube are back.

What's the best way to get closest to "old behaviour" regarding this?

I never used to think about the address bar, but it's been nothing but annoying ever since the change.

@iAN-CooG

We don't know the user's set up and what kind of mess could have in its system.

Try yourself
If happens, then it is

@DoctorG Thanks for the update!

Problem appears to have something to do with loading extensions. I disabled all extensions and it worked. I started browser again and got a message that it disabled Adobe Acrobat extension. I opened extensions. and it had been turned off. Then I closed and restarted browser and same problem. So I manually disabled all extensions. I then enabled one extension (not the Adobe one) and browser still didn't work, but kept restarting the browser several times with one extension enabled and it finally started working. Re-enabled ALL extensions and now works. I am not sure if it was actually due to one specific extension since they all work now once the browser actually started showing pages again.

the error is visible even in the fact that resetting the filter raises Scrollbar to upper position. And your sorting has nothing to do with it.
If the bookmark you are looking for is in the middle of the list, you will spend so much time that you will find it yourself and without searching for Vivaldi

As reported by numerous others, I also am crashing on startup, browser disappears into thin air. Can get it going with deletion C:\Users\iamwe\AppData\Local\Vivaldi\User Data\Default\Sessions folder, which is not ideal. I think some bug has been introduced somewhere, but cant help any further.
