@lucguard For a check, if you create a new test profile with Manage Users button (top right of address bar), close Vvaldi Welcome screen with Ctrl+w, and go to maps.google.it, does geolocation then work?

so uBO MV2 keeps working in this snapshot? 🎉
good thing I skipped previous one 😇

@iAN-CooG said in Address bar tweaks – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 3683.4:

@sjudenim confirmed. But you can enable Fluent Overlay scrollbars instead.
So far it seems to do exactly the same as the older setting.

Thanks, but that one doesn't seem to work well for me at all. Could be an issue in Chromium 136 as I think it started then

Matia Bazar - Ti Sento

@pesala: Thank you.
I tried sometimes last 3 versions.
snapshot 3671.3 is worked. I will todo backversion or dereat this browser.

@mixElll You don't copy files from the profile.

https://help.vivaldi.com/desktop/tools/import-and-export-browser-data/

You export Bookmarks as a HTML file for import.
You export Passwords as a CSV file for import.

You might try copying your History file from your Opera profile into your Vivaldi profile but this is not supported and might not work at all or crash stuff.

Extensions that have been installed from the Opera Store will probably not work in any case.

@KaKi87 Anyway, blurring an image without this feature is not difficult for me. Thanks for the previous fix.

@tam710562 said in Any idea for placing my videofile on speeddial page background?:

@Kunsite You can put the file in vivaldi's installation folder and you can use the host that vivaldi creates

Example
C:\Users{User}\AppData\Local\Vivaldi\Application\7.4.3682.3\resources\vivaldi\sample.mp4
and the path will be
chrome-extension://mpognobbkildjkofajifpdfhcoklimli/sample.mp4

Note: Vivaldi will delete this folder every time it updates, so you must copy the file again every time you update to a new version.

Or you can change the code of @LonM like below to load local files

(async function videobg() {
'use strict';

const VIDEOFILE = 'D:/sample.mp4'; /path to video/
const arrayBuffer = await vivaldi.mailPrivate.readFileToBuffer(VIDEOFILE);
const blob = new Blob([arrayBuffer]);
const videoUrl = URL.createObjectURL(blob);

/**

Initialise the mod Create the html and place it before the header div so that it appears "behind" the UI
*/
function initMod() {
const browser = document.getElementById('header');
if (browser) {
browser.insertAdjacentHTML('beforebegin', <video src="${videoUrl}" autoplay loop muted disablepictureinpicture disableremoteplayback style="height: 100vh; width: 100vw; position: absolute; object-fit: fill;"> </video>)
} else { setTimeout(initMod, 500); }
}

/* Start 500ms after the browser is opened */
setTimeout(initMod, 500);
})();

I will write to myself for the future. But for now (it is very strange) I will not start any http server, but working first custom.js on this theme with string like

const VIDEOFILE = "http://localhost:8000/20240627_085425.mp4"; /*path to video*/

I do not know, how, but it is working! Thanks for another method also.

@Catweazle

No. My loadout is the same as it has been for awhile and I haven't experienced this before

On desktop I use Portmaster, it include also Ad/trackerblock filter, including dynamic filters. Imperative app

@sh4dowhe4rt Ok. that might mean the easylist has some rules that prevent yours from taking effect, but I cannot see any. It's possible that there is something broken on our end as well. I'll attempt to investigate further.

@Pathduck
Thanks.

I have essentially restored the browser back to full functionality by means of just completely reinstalling it and starting from scratch (though not completely thanks to synchronization). Unsure what broke in the previous iteration, but the session wasn't it...

@rbjolly: I tried turning it off and trying to watch some Netflix and it didn't work, I'm afraid.

You'll need to figure out what sort of cookies your sites are actually using, what domains they're from, and verify if they're being saved or not.
If not set your exceptions properly.

I recommend you use the Chromium internal pages to set exceptions so you can use wildcards properly.
Site Data (first-party): chrome://settings/content/siteData
Third-party cookies: chrome://settings/cookies
This is easier if you're used to Chrome settings.

Note that the third-party cookie settings page is kind of broken sometimes, it might show up as blank. If so just go to chrome://settings/ and into Third-party cookies from there.

Note also the wording on the third-party cookies page:
Sites allowed to use third-party cookies.
This was changed several Chromium versions ago, it used to be:
Sites that can always use cookies
Because at the time that page controlled all cookies, not just third-party.

This basically means that if you add [*.]bbc.com to "Sites allowed to use third-party cookies" it will allow all third-party cookies on BBC.
It used to be you could specify explicit exception what sites you wanted to allow third-party cookies from.

@stpvid1 Generally I'm hyper technologically skeptical and the first time I read about the issue of animations I thought it was pure placebo effect, but when I performed accurate tests myself I was absurdly surprised that it really interfered with performance.

@Lilianger From what we can see on our side, it looks like you deleted your Vivaldi Social account. When you do that and log in again, a new account is created with _1 added to the original username.
