@tcltk said in Privacy Without Compromise: Proton VPN is Now Built Into Vivaldi:

Even if the installation of this VPN was not clear, some on the forum gave a lot of explanations. This is the good side and best aspect of this place, here.

Yea, but not everyone checks the forums from the start, especially not before the update (and before encountering this Proton VPN problem)

@LarsScholz I tested with Settings → Panels → Floating panel activated.
When i open download panel, hit Shift+F4 to exit Vivaldi and restart, the i see the panel open at new start.
If i exit Vivaldi by clicking on window x-button the panel is hidden after next start.

@Pathduck Thanks. It can be marked as solved as well now by @Dancer18 for those others using Linux Mint who could come across this "issue".

is a right PITA with NodeBB.

😠

maybe he's this guy. 😛

Vivaldi 7.3.3635.7 (updated and restarted a few minutes ago), Windows 10, the issue continues.

@wintercoast said in Good bye forever, Vivaldi.:

they want the browser to have just the features they want upfront, no matter what others may want.

Good point, which actually proves that is not possible to please everyone. To those who think Vivaldi is too bloated I say to just use another browser as Vivaldi is not the only one, so even there one has a choice.

@Pathduck said in New installer and Firefox tab import – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 3653.3:

I would strongly advise you against doing this though. Having both Stable and Snapshot installed for All Users and switching between them means they use the same user profile under %localappdata%\Vivaldi. It is dangerous (and not supported) to switch between installs like this, and you risk serious data lossage.

I am not installing the snapshots in %Program Files% in order to have two separate profiles. Sharing a profile is indeed a no go zone.

@vivaldi0666 said in Синхронизация:

Понятно, следующая авария будет или есть гарантия?

Аварии не планируют - они сами случаются.
Мы постараемся избежать повторения.

Помните, что синхронизация - это не бэкап-сервис. Она нужна для синхронизации актуальных данных между устройствами. Поэтому при серьёзных изменениях - например, при переустановке системы или браузера, лучше всегда сохранять копию профиля в надёжном месте. Где находится профиль - можно посмотреть в меню Справка - О программе

@Danylyca said in Tab Icons are blank:

@Danylyca I understood! Thanks for clarifying!

Your are werlome. 🙂

I had trouble logging in too. It was telling me my username/password wasn't matching, so I used Forgot (or Reset) Password, and I got in fine after doing that.

В нем зачем-то из настроек выпилили возможность смены протокола

@DoctorG said in Can't disable Vivaldi's adblocker on Softpedia?:

@RasheedHolland Are you sure that you can use Vivaldi Blocker and a adblocker extension? For better blocking? Can not imagine that such is recommended. Use one Blocker, not two or more at the same time.

To clarify, I never use both adblockers at the same time. But sometimes when I might have problems with uBlock, then I enable the built-in adblocker, so that stuff is still being blocked. I had trouble loading Softpedia, so that's why I disabled uBlock and enabled the built-in adblocker. But then I noticed I couldn't disable it anymore, very odd.

Now with 7.3.3635.7 / Debian 12.10 KDE i get Sync problems.
In vivaldi://net-internals Sync Traffic log showed:
3.4.2025, 17:42:40 Normal GetUpdate request
Nudged types: Device Info
3.4.2025, 17:42:40 GetUpdates Response
Received error: Network error (ERR_PROXY_CONNECTION_FAILED)

After 1 minute waiting Vivaldi Sync retries and reconnects itself without any issue.

Strange!
//edit: Seems to be related to Proton VPN extension.
When i clicked the VPN button, but did not login with Vivaldi account, means extension is installed but VPN is not enabled!, and restarted Vivaldi, the issue comes up.

Uninstalling Proton VPN extension gets fast login to Vivaldi Sync server.

@wolden said in How will Vivaldi deal with Google's Manifest V3?:

There's no need for Vivaldi to be ashamed of how they handle the change, and to get nerved by a certain someone...

Fact of the matter is that many people agree with me, that's probably what unnerves you. I expected more from Vivaldi as the number one ''power browser''. With only 3 months to go, it seems a lot like they won't support MV2, OK cool, but what about improving the built-in adblocker? It's because of people like you that I keep advertising the same story, because it seems you still don't get. 🙄

@mossman said in ProtonVPN – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 3648.3:

Now I am curious, if one day I'll decide I want to try it, how do I reinstall it?

In Settings → Privacy you can enable Proton VPN again.

@Barnabas29 you can do amazing things with the Window Panel (adding functionalities to its menu as well) but unfortunately it has this huge disadvantage.

@reidthaler said in Send Tab to Workspace and stay in current Workspace?:

How about click on a link and opening in a new tab without being re-directed to the tab?

Found it:

@enicchi That seems strange but I'm no expert in that area. I rarely use Sync. Mostly just for testing stuff like right now and setting up a new device. Not knowing how two devices will intermingle settings keeps me from using it for anything else😐
