Browser error. Black screen with "dead bird" ?

I think something is seriously broken
Nothing broken here. However, I see that the changes in the Chromium platform have created several new and unexpected collisions with user's setups, which could not be caught by testers and developers with different environments and different habits during testing.

I bet that would explain why 1.15 worked with hardware acceleration and 2.0 and above don't. I'm going to attempt to downgrade but I have a feeling I'll be starting over from scratch, as Vivaldi really does not like importing settings from newer versions to older versions.
I'm happy to share my setup/logs with whoever if it will help fix this annoying problem, I just need to be pointed in the right direction. The bug report form doesn't really give the opportunity to do much except describe in general a problem.

Well, you could attach them in a reply to the email that gives you the bug number - assuming you know which setup/log files to attach!?

@tbgbe Setup is a very general term. It includes the kind of machine, video hardware, security software, any software added to the system to "enhance" the user experience, any and all flags set, extensions used, settings changed from default, etc.

Yeah, that's the issue. I did it many times back when Opera was still its own thing, but since Vivaldi I haven't had to do it, so I forgot what all needs to be included and where the files are. D'oh!
One thing I can rule out is extensions. I've done it with and without, in new and old installs, and extensions do not affect any of the black bird/crashing behavior.

What are we supposed to do when we get a black screen?
I haven't seen the black screen in a good many months, but saw it today.
site: https://www.todaysparent.com/pregnancy/baby-names/how-to-name-your-baby-without-the-stress/
Extension of note: uBlock OriginAs soon as I visit the site, I now notice that the uBlock extension climbs in the number of items it blocks. Rapidly. After it block >1k items, the black screen appeared.
Nothing I'm going to do different, other than not go to that site again today. But wanted to pass it along as something to look for. Maybe open Dev Tools, network view, and see if there is a large influx of items?

@gwen-dragon It's probable there is something wrong on that page, and while uBO is active I can confirm the crash of the tab.
There are too many videos on the same page, not counting the aggressive ads it tries to link in every article that appears while scrolling down and even up (yes! it reloads everything apparently, even those you already seen)
I checked with Vivaldi Task Manager and doing page up/down for a minute, the tab reached 1GB memory footprint. Trash site in my book. -
No problems here with nanoAdblocker. although he is a variant of uBO

@gwen-dragon makes sense. In the meantime I've posted about this on reddit
