@lonm said in Private mode != incognito mode:
If you need multiple contexts active at once for your workflow
Or (possibly inflammatory) use only one private/incognito window but open others in different browsers :)
So I just noticed this now on some web site, and was curious about how V even stores this password. So is this a bug and should never have shown ? Is my password being saved anywhere ?
Lol I wasn't even logged into google so I dont know how it saved with Google Smart Lock ?
I see that V has brought in all the passwords from Chrome via Smart Lock - is this also a bug ?
@bvamundsen said in Vivaldi timeliness adopting chromium security updates?:
The user string with the chromium used to build, but bracket with back-ported, if brackets are allow by the UserString standards.
That may break webpages which rely on version numbers.
On Vivaldi "About" page start a string with the base chromium built upon, plus the added brackett (back-ported) to indicate that back-ports have been applied.
A pinned page here in the Security Forum, which would show the Vivaldi Release numbers and the Chromium base used and then if any CVE's were back-ported to the Vivaldi release the CVE's applied. This page would be a best effort by someone working with the developers, so they aren't pulled away from their important work.
If you think such pageis useful and missing in Vivaldi, please make a request.

Got this from Apple's website..
Safari for Windows
Apple no longer offers Safari updates for Windows. Safari 5.1.7 for Windows was the last version made for Windows, and it is now outdated.
Published Date: Apr 5, 2018
uh oh doesn't seem like thats good
I'm using Safari on Mac, not Windows. Vivaldi would definitely be my choice for Windows. :)
@paul1149 Agreed.
The previous version of DNSCrypt was also available for programmable routers.
Hopefully v2 will also get round to making router builds.
v2 is still not complete, so priorities may be focused on the features first.
New Opera has had an ad-blocker for years; they also use it to block those coin mining scripts. Since it is not an extension the blocking occurs sooner in the loading process and thus is supposed to make page loading faster (according to them - I haven't timed it) ,,, and yes, you can easily turn it off or on. So maybe Google is noticing.
I haven't posted anything in a log time cause some seem to get preferential treatment can post off topic etc. and get away with it.
Just thought Viv security { very relevant} a link to US PWN2Own hacker convention and about edge and Safari getting hacked thought it might help.

Also said DEFCOM will be in China cause less chance of getting arrested there than in US a SAD STATE OF AFFAIRS.
Please leave up because no worse than first"comment or other left all the time. A hell of a lot more intresting and useful
Jon is right. When I see discussions about privacy they always focus on if it is violated or not, but the battle is about if privacy can be violated. As Jon says, privacy should be the default.
Society feels like a dystopia these days and it is only becoming worse.
Tonight i have had to DISABLE the Strict site isolation Flag again. Reason = it was the root-cause of the chronic problem of V crashing when refreshing Speed-dial thumbnails. With that Flag once more Disabled, no more crashes..

Today i have found a website that refuses to load when Canvas Defender is enabled; https://general-insurance.coles.com.au/motor/get-quote?ctype=COMP
The page is happy with each & all of Ghostery, HTTPS Everywhere, & uO [including with my enhanced dynamic filtering rules], but each time i re-enable CD the page breaks. Tested in V [latest] SS & Stable, & in Chromium 64.0.3282.140. Whitelisting this site makes it work again, but that's sub-optimal IMO.
To my recollection this is the first site i've used that seems completely incompatible with this extension. Anyone have any ideas why that might be so pls?
