Maybe you're just not that aware of it,
In forums, capital letters are interpreted as shouting.

Adding support for these issues (have also clicked a couple of "like" buttons in this thread, if that helps anything).

You can't move anything ahead of Search in the priority list. You ought to be able to, if the point is to set your own priorities. There's a delay before it recognizes your nickname, and there didn't used to be. You end up with search results you don't want.

@HeavensSheriff said in Private Window:

I've installed Vivaldi on my machines lately, and found that, opening the private window for the first time, closed the whole browser. Anyone else,too?

I also had such cases. After recent updates, it's probably ok now.

@Shelleybbell
Hi, reinstall does not touch your user data, except you check the "Delete all browser data".
No idea why this happen for you. 😕

Check the Windows task manager if a Vivaldi process is still running if you close Vivaldi.

Has anyone requested that this button be on the sync settings page instead of being in a difficult place to find?

@barbudo2005 exactly, and always remember that for 1 known security hole you know, there are thousands of untold or kept secret ones, not counting those undiscovered yet.

@Romidar Like everything, I guess it comes down to what you're using the system - i.e. browser - for. And yes, I realize the OS in this case is Win 10 and Vivaldi is the browser sitting on top of it.

In my case, what do I use Vivaldi for:

I browse the internet using a handful of Favourites or new sites accessed via specific URLs located from my default search engine (DDG).

I manage my email correspondence for two external accounts (one Yahoo mail, one Gmail)

I listen to music via Spotify or a selection of internet radio stations.

In terms of work, as I'm retired I do a bit of writing, sometimes direct to the blogging platforms I use (Blogger and Vivaldi.net).

And that's it. So for me KISS works perfectly well for me, and I have no doubt helps with stability in my case - not only of the browser but also in its interaction with Win10. When I set Edge up, I kept it just as simple, ditto for a while Firefox (although on both I used ad-block extensions) and I never had any issues with them either: no strange crashes, no screen locks, nothing weird at all, even after installing regular update packages.

Maybe I'm just lucky.....for 10 years or so.

The file I meant is called "Bookmarks" and is in \User Data\Vivaldi\Default\ , why you cant copy it?
Do you have a install for all user?
Then this install is in C:\Programs and you need Administrator rights to manipulate files.
You can upload GB to Google Drive, no idea why this happen.
My exported .html file is 200 KB but I only have a few hundreds bookmarks.

I have the same issue with the Proton Pass extension and @Pathduck's suggestion to review https://help.vivaldi.com/desktop/appearance-customization/extensions/ was my salvation. Specifically the Update extension section. Thank you, @Pathduck!

Update extensions
Extensions usually update automatically. To manually update extensions:

Go to the Extensions page;
Enable Developer mode from a toggle in the top right corner of the page;
Click Update on the new menu that appears.

@TotaKwon
Hi, I guess @Hadden89 meant periodic reload.
Right click on a tab to open the context menu, check periodic reload:

The crash occurs even if my Vivaldi runs on Xwayland instead of natively on Wayland.

@StabiL The bug is analyzed by devs and testers but rarely a reply is given, so keep note of the VB. About the registry, probably they want to see if their heuristic is blocking something used by vivaldi but I can understand you don't want to share the registry.

@Andy_teacher Try this: Hit F2 for Quick command, type address bar , select it and hit Return key.

Or had you accidentally switched the top bar off with Ctrl+F11?

@caseybarx All you can do is add alternative shortcuts to show the panel in Settings, Keyboard, View, Panel, or add a mouse gesture to use instead. I use GestureRight, GestureLeft because my panels are on the right. It saves having to reach for F4 if I am holding the mouse.

@elbmek
Please add a link to such a video for other user to test.
It is impossible to help you with: "There is a video link, but it wont open".

@yayoisan
Hi, the bug VB-99105 was fixed 04/Aug/23 and should be in Vivaldi 6.2.
I have nt for https://www.n-tv.de and it open instantly if I type nt > Enter.

Cheers, mib

@Pesala
Ah sorry, if I gesture back the URL change instantly on snapshot.
I have to test this a little deeper.
EDIT: I cant reproduce it, even t take a while to get back to the forum it always update the URL for me on Vivaldi 6.3.3120.3.
