@Hadden89

Found a new one! image-search-options doesn't work at all. Very useful and somewhat popular. Could you report this one please?
I'm still not sure how extensions bug report works. If I have to ask you, ask the developers or if just posting it here is enough.
Thanks anyway!
(I haven't really tried to use Save in yet, i'll keep you informed as soon as i do).

@Daladdine Image search option works fine on my Vivaldi.

[Daladdine]

@Hadden89 Yep, deactivated all my extensions, restarted Vivaldi, reactivated them again. Now it works. Sorry, nevermind then. The extensions sometimes seem somewhat "buggy" at the installation even though they work fine in the end. I don't recall having those sort of issues on Chrome, but i could be wrong.

[Hadden89]

@Daladdine A restart always may help. Remember the extensions in Vivaldi are still inherited from chrome so they could act slightly different. For the most part they are compatible but still this can't be guaranteed (as they're not native for Vivaldi).
Also they could confict so it's better to disable the other ones during a specific addon test.

Feedbro https://nodetics.com/feedbro/ is an extension for subscribing to RSS news. If you open this extension, the tab icon of Feedbro disappears after a short time. This only happens in Vivaldi. It does not happen in Chrome, Firefox or Edge.

The developer of Feedbro confirmed that this error can only be caused by Vivaldi.

@stardepp Wondering if it is VB-50853 related [Some extensions lose connection with chromium APIs]
//EDIT: Seems to be unrelated

[stardepp]

@Hadden89 said in List of incompatible extensions:

VB-50853

Okay, good to know. But I don't understand what is communicated at VB-50853, as I am not an expert.

Is VB-50853 a solution guide?

[stardepp]

@Gwen-Dragon Okay, good to know.

[Hadden89]

@stardepp Not that I know. The core issue is that sometimes some addons lost the connection with chromium APIs so they can't do what are supposed to do.
But Gwen says is unrelated, and she actually know the devvy things better than me

@Hadden89

Yep, the Save in extension seems to work fine for its basic fonctions at least.
There is the "comment" feature that i can't make work, but i can't either on chrome. Haven't tried Dynamics downloads either.
So except for the invisible icon, no issues. It easily replaces "Save Image Router" for sure.

I'm actually glad i switched to this extension thanks to Vivaldi, it seems much better than the latter.

@Hadden89 Since the update to Vivaldi 3.0.1874.33 the FeedBro icon is permanently displayed

[stardepp]

Unfortunately too early, after restarting the PC, the FeedBro icon disappears again

[Hadden89]

@stardepp Is Feedbro fixed? So I remove from the list

[stardepp]

@Hadden89 No, the tab icon of Feedbro is still not displayed.

[barbudo2005]

It open for a millisecond and disappears:

I think it is a minor bug.

[Hadden89]

I don't know if the feedbro icon disappearing is reported, by the way a similar glitch happens with onetab extension.
The funnel icon rarely shows up.

[stardepp]

@Hadden89 For OneTab there is a more worthy successor:

Better one Tab:

[Hadden89]

@stardepp I tried but for some reason I still prefer the legacy addon.
Better new tab is too much "material UI design" for my tastes.

StayFocusd doesn't work. I can't change maximum time allowed.
