To test on a Clean environment is the way to find out where the problem comes from.
You should Test on Clean and browse on other sites if necessary.
Relying to Security and Privacy reasons one would assume those sites are not confident enough.
That would be reason.
@DDK May be this issue is a bug.

How to report a bug for Vivaldi
carefully and report the bug to Vivaldi bugtracker.
Again thank you for using Vivaldi.
@HenryAZ I went though this problem and it is annoying since I often am using my browser with my keyboard set aside. The mouse gesture solution isn't bad, but not idea either so I agree with you.
In the meantime, I happen to use an app called "steermouse" which I got because it let's you program pretty much any button on a mouse (don't know which mice work with it, but my Performance MX does). Unless something has changed, Apple's options restrict what the buttons can do.
But steermouse also lets you set up button actions based on the app you are in. So I set my middle button to send the proper click and modifier key to open a link in a new tab and give it the focus (but only in Vivaldi). Works great except for one thing. It works with links on webpages, but if I go to the bookmark list down the side, that same middle button opens the tab in the background! Seems they should at least be consistent!
So on the bookmark list, I have to left-click to open with focus. But I want the left click to open in the active tab!

Yeah, I should have said spell check. But I've unchecked the option to correct spelling in the mac OS too - yet that "to" popup suggestion still shows up almost every time in Vivaldi.
There is something else odd about it to me. It has a bit of a tab attached to it:
Based on looking at the results in another app, it seems that little tab is supposed to highlight the word it is offering the suggestion to - but in vivaldi, the correction and that tab pop up far away from where I'm typing. So that's another oddity.
Today it is working again - other than trying to just type "co".
But I have discovered some other details. For example, in Notes, I can type "Co" to abbreviate "Company". But not in vivaldi. I thought maybe I could solve that by entering it in the spelling list but when I looked there, I saw I had created an item that said if I type "co" to change it to "to". I had forgotten as it was a long time ago. On my keyboard (dvorak layout), I often found myself mistyping that. But I have no idea why Vivaldi doesn't react the same as Notes. Nor why either one is making the correction even though I have it turned off. Unless there is some other place that has to be changed too. I looked at prefs for Notes but nothing there. Under the "edit" menu, there is an item for automatically correcting, but that was not checked either. Tried checking it and it did the same thing. Unchecked it again and still did the same thing.
So, just now I removed that spelling "correction" from the Mac OS list. That solves the immediate problem, though I'll suffer with making the typo again. And it still doesn't explain why Vivaldi reacts differently to it (especially on facebook) than elsewhere. Nor why it is doing auto correcting even when that option has not been checked. Or for that matter why it sometimes works on longer words and other times, at least on facebook, it sometimes doesn't!
Now I need to see if I can come up with a way I can put that correction from co to to back in and still find a way for it not to screw up other words.
Thanks everyone for all the feedback. It kept me looking for solutions - even if my present one isn't ideal. And maybe at some point it will be discovered why Vivaldi is acting differently.
@Najja said in Select boxes in pop-up windows do not work:
You're right, it definitely only happens in the macOS version. I tested it on Windows where it worked fine.
Thanks for testing this on your system.

How to report a bug for Vivaldi
@bds Please update to latest Vivaldi 3.4.2066.86 an retry.
If you want to report such crashes, please read https://help.vivaldi.com/article/reporting-crashes-on-macos/
I have also been experiencing this problem (along with various others) since 3.4 Any word on when this bug will be addressed as it has kinda broken my experience w/ Vivaldi.
You mean with "Hardware Acceleration" (HA) off? I use Vivaldi on two computers with the latest version of MacOS Catalina:
Macbook Pro, with HA on (if I turn it off and use it heavily I get the dead bird page)
Macbook Air, with HA off, I found it to work better like this and to be cooler
I also tested on the Macbook Air with the BigSur Beta but I got a lot of problems, besides Vivaldi (and even Safari was unusable), so I reinstalled Catalina from my backup.
However, that's just my personal experience, I'm sure others have a better idea of the possible problem and have more technical knowledge.
