Hi,
Ask about your Report Status to either update or close the Topic.

Thx

Makes more sense to move all this to https://forum.vivaldi.net/category/3/forum (yes, i know... ) since this post from pathduck?

@dodger See https://vivaldi.com/blog/desktop/four-new-features-and-70-bug-fixes-vivaldi-browser-snapshot-3189-3/
I hope this 6.5 Snapshot will please you with a fix.

@DoctorG

thanks for confirming it. i just wanted to mention it here too, so other people know. 🙂

@DoctorG

sure, and thanks for the info.

Starting topics with intentional trolling like this will just lead to a lock and later topic deletion.

This is a support forum. If you want support and not just vent frustration - next time open a topic with a descriptive title, enough information about what the problem is and what sites you're having issues with as well as your system information.

“[Web Panels] Hijacks keyboard focus on document.title changes (VB-37747)” was fixed in the 3070.3 snapshot release. It will take some more time before this reaches stable, but I can at least confirm that there has finally been some progress on this issue.

@TsunamiZ A internal fix was made today, wait for updated release next time.

@Taiga Hi, like you were asked, please keep discussions about bugs out of the bug status topic. Either create a new topic for discussion and ping with @ the people you want to ask, or post in the original topic (in this case, this one).

I have moved your posts here.

We cannot give more information than the current status of the report, or if there's a a developer assigned to it. In this case, there is no assignee. It appears to be a complicated issue related to very specific and specialized extension for developers, so that's probably why it does not have high priority.

A bit late to reply, but hopefully someone will find this useful;

This is a legitimate extension which is shipped as part of Vivaldi. This functionality is included as part of a few browsers, though some use a different approach to get the same result. Because it is bundled as part of the browser, it does not show up in the list of user-installed extensions. This is the case for a couple of other extensions too, such as the one that displays PDFs in the browser. However, you can disable it using Vivaldi menu - Settings - Webpages - Picture-in-Picture Button on Videos. (The PDF viewer can be controlled in the same part of the settings.)

The extension is used to display picture-in-picture; it allows a video to be displayed on top of the browser while you are browsing other websites. It is configured to work with a specific set of popular websites that make this possible. When a page loads, the extension injects some scripts. The scripts then fetch the extension's configuration file locally from the extension. This loads not via the network, but by a local file read. Presumably, this is what you are seeing in the developer tools.

Basically, it is harmless and expected behaviour, and it is not something malicious.

@lameone said in Cannot delete all saved passwords:

@kubamiszcz
I just managed to do it myself without external software.

Disable Syncing, and reset remote data. Re-Enable Syncing, but uncheck the "password" option before you hit apply. Navigate to the folder on your machine listed under "Profile Path" at vivaldi://about/ Use the Delete Browsing Data tool to remove all passwords store with the time duration set to "all". I only did passwords, so nothing else was deleted. Close Vivaldi. Delete the files "Login Data" and Login Data-journal.

You should be good to go here. I think it's a combination of Vivaldi always trying to pull from the sync, it's local backup, and it's local storage, so you need to handle all 3 or the passwords will keep coming back. That said, it's incredibly counter-intuitive, and the functionality to delete passwords is absolutely a standard expectation, especially as password managers are more and more commonplace.

Can confirm these steps work perfectly on a Mac. Since I've "converted" to a out-of-browser password manager (Bitwarden), this has cleared the stored passwords in bulk. To be sure, I'm leaving Sync Passwords unchecked going forward.

Rather unfortunate there isn't a more solid way in-browser to address this, to begin with.

@racoon97 Windows Apps installed by Microsoft Store can not be fixed by Vivaldi.

Thank you for your request. As this post has had less than 5 votes over 4 years it will now be archived.

@Robbo Well, your post looked like 📣"Letz Rant a Vivaldi". Yeah, ranting is nice, can reduce frustration, but does not help after anger is gone. You will still sit disappointed in front of your PC.

Quality of free software can range, Vivaldi does not fulfil your needs and you expected a better product, i see. Sad, but we do no force you to praise a browser. I hope Vivaldi will be the product you will chose again later if it suits you better. Or you report bugs and help to make Vivaldi better. As you like.
