@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.

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.

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 🙂

@Pesala said in P L E A S E get rid of the auto-mute!:

Unmute All Tabs

The tab is not muted, it's the video stream that is muted. It's probably a Twitch (and other sites) problem, on how they deal with autostarting videos.

@Baptiste39 Obvious question ... did you try disabling blocking on that site? Often URL parameters are used for tracking, so the tracker blocking feature might be stripping the parameters.

turning on thumbnails did it. thanks.

@bomgavs You can also enable the Bookmark Bar in Settings, Bookmarks:

Show Bookmark Bar

this is now resolved in the newest 7.4.3671.3 it seems.
difference like night and day

Might not be what you are looking for, but fixed it for me by just adding it to my allow list under chrome://settings/content/autoplay then "Allowed to automatically play video"

@jancyemcd Best way to avoid loss of passwords is to run a external local password manager app f.ex. like Keepass2 or KeepassXC or similar.

Or if you still want to use Vivaldi password manager then as a backup of your in Vivaldi stored passwords you can regularly export passwords as CSV file (⚠️store them in safe place as the fie is human-readable); see Settings → Privacy → Passwords → Export Passwords

I have this issue as well. I wouldn't mind this feature if the custom notifications followed "Do Not Disturbe" option in windows. It sometimes shows notifications when I play games and it's really annoying.

@mib2berlin said in Can mute ( tab ) button be disabled?:

@Lucky80000000000
Hi, for some it is the most important feature. 🙂

Of course. I rather have Right Click > Mute tab. As usually clicking a tab for sitching to it, lands the click involuntary over the mute button. Specially with a lot of tabs open.

Howto add this to Vivaldi:

https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/10549/modding-vivaldi?page=1

Thanks, however, I don't get it. If that is a css modification , then the right approach is to enable css styling in experiments and then creating a custom folder with this content saved as .css in that folder. That does not work. Maybe this is a javascript code as the tutorial mention ? Should I use the modify window.html method and save the content as custom.js and place it alongside window.html?

Edit: it worked. A browser restart wasn't enought but calling chrome://vivaldi-data/css-mods/css made it work instantly
Edit2: Ok, sometimes is there; sometimes it is not. I can not tell exactly what triggers it. Maybe it returns after tab lost focus for several minutes idk. At least now I'm more alert and can spot it in advance.

Hi, it should take only a few seconds to update sync between devices.
If the Android device is running Vivaldi and you open a new tab on desktop the history is updated.

Which view you use in Vivaldi desktop, day?
