@mib2berlin Just a little update on my findings. It may help shine a little light on the workings of how workspaces are stored.

I had restored 15 pairs of Session_[number] and Tabs_[number] files and assumed they were connected to individual sessions. Today I checked the Sessions folder and found only three pairs of Session_[number] and Tabs_[number] files with my workspaces in the browser intact.

The dates may differ for all three pairs. This leads me to hypothesize that two of the pairs may be used as backups.

Apparently Vivaldi deletes workspace files that are no longer needed.

How did I found out?
Still working from the assumption the Session_[number] and Tabs_[number] files were linked to individual workspaces I decided to add a new tab to each workspace in order to change the dates on the Session_[number] and Tabs_[number] files. After that I went to the Sessions folder and noticed the above.

Eventually I decided to remove the unneeded new tabs in all workspaces. After that two Session_[number] and Tabs_[number] pairs have the same timestamp for Date modified. The other one has a timestamps of approximately 12 hrs ago.

Little lucky shot
One of the workspaces was empty. I found the files in the main workspace and moved them to the empty workspace. I had started my inquiry on the specific topic in the main workspace and had moved the tabs to a new workspace in the process. I was lucky my backup was recent enough.

@Bingbot
To do the transfer manually is a lot of work too and there is no solution for extensions, cookies and it is tricky to move sessions, workspaces and so forth.
There is a thread about to do it by hand.

@buzzunu I'm frustrated too trying to get the button to appear as well and have so far not been able to find a fix. PiP is already enabled in Vivaldi, so I know it's not that. But an easy workaround is just using the keyboard shortcut Alt + p to trigger Vivaldi's PiP. I like the convenience of clicking the button but a keyboard shortcut isn't bad either. Hope that helps.

I am having the same issue with the current version of Vivaldi. Screen sharing works in WaterFox, but not in Vivaldi (Grey screen). I have tried all of the suggestion above.

@NinuHou
Hm, you are correct, this is bookmark bar button, it is not the correct place.
At moment am not even sure you can change it, I am sorry.

@mib2berlin found way, i put the pages i want in 1 bookmark folder i set it as speed dial, and start page now became like brave one.

Okay, here's another example on a site with a pretty standard PayPal checkout. In this case I autofilled the form with details already saved and edited. There's even a clear Country field in this case. Everything worked fine. But on the next page I got a popup asking me to save a new corrupted version of the address with the wrong country and the wrong telephone Country Code.

@dvanleur, no such issue here, it only ocurres when I push the middle button of the Mouse, with which I activate the auto scroll.
Maybe ckeaning or changing the Mouse solve the problem.
In a laptop also the Touchpad can cause this, eg contamination or moisture

Even the internal task manager had high memory usage and the browser crashed after 20 seconds. But, after 5 days of rest for holidays, I tried to reopen the website and everything went back to normal. Evidently there was some other process that conflicted or the PC simply needed a break too.
If the problem returns I will write to you again. Thanks for the replies and comparison!

@TonRullmann said in Weblink in other program results in welcome screen:

Thank you, it works

Glad to had helped you 🙂

@planetdance maybe they'll integrate Proton Pass just like Proton VPN, that would be sweet!

Thanks for that.

A shame that search and forms are not seperate.

@alexandersalomon Do not start with last session.
Check Settings → General → Start-Up , chose other than Last Session.

@MightyPotato22 said in Google Image opening is bugged, opens in "imgres":

moderation wouldn't let me upload anything that even resembles a link.

That is a feature to deter spammers. You should now be able to post links.

Thank you, LonM! This has been so helpful.

@rogerjacobsen
I used login with SMS verification, I can test later with Microsoft Authenticator.

@cfrost See Settings, Search:

Always Search in New Tab

Do as DoctorG suggested, search the feature requests forum and vote for the appropriate request(s). Voting or commenting on this topic will achieve nothing.

@janrif,

Issue could not be reproduced having followed your steps.; assuming Ctrl+P is mistake as shortcut for Paste is Ctrl + V

@yojimbo274064400 Thanks for pointing to typo.
To be sure, if note is in TXT format, it pastes in email body?
⋮

Here are my steps:

press Ctrl + Shift + O to open Notes panel select a note select 6ceb6310-8e2d-4316-9b17-a90db92b50d7-image.png to show note in tab press Ctrl + C to copy note text, i.e. markdown text compose a new email message and in body of message press Ctrl + V to paste observe text is successfully pasted into message body

⋮

User cannot drag // drop one item to a different position in the Notes list unless user presses any of the note columns twice. But this is a mysterious command bc user has no hint that clicking column two times will put list in manual mode nor is there any indication that it is Manual Mode

This worked for you, as well? If so, how did you know you were in "manual" mode? Did I miss something?

I had not tried to reproduce this issue but on trying I can see that if the notes are ordered in anyway then moving a note serves no purpose as it would be moved back to its previous position. This is not a bug IMO

I'm actually surprised that nobody is interested in such a feature? I have read this article again and I really like the idea. This way you don't even need a Vivaldi Sync account, and it's much more secure, if I'm correct. So what do you guys think? 🙂

If you allow notifications from a site, intentionally or accidentally, the far easiest way to disallow them is going to the site that sends them, going into the Site Info (padlock) dialog and toggling the permission off:

75a969d6-574f-4854-8add-a3dfe235eb11-image.png

Disabling them will explicitly set them to Denied from that site.
Clicking "Reset permissions" will reset to the default (Ask).

Some sites (notification spammers) makes it difficult to deny them, often using obscure domains with no content or automatically redirecting.
In that case using Vivaldi's Website Permissions or chrome://settings/content/notifications will work as well to remove the permission.

Service Workers are a plague of the modern web, like notification spam. They can't be blocked in settings, and any site can install them. However, they can't really do anything unless you've allowed the site an explicit permission.

I block Service Workers in uBO with the following rule:

||$csp=worker-src 'none'

This will also work in the Vivaldi adblocker with a custom blocklist file.
Note that this will break some sites so you'll need to add some exceptions, for instance Spotify:

@@||$csp=worker-src 'none',domain=spotify.com
