reCAPTCHA challenge {shows unsupported browser}

@Gwen-Dragon
I went to the test recaptcha test page: https://patrickhlauke.github.io/recaptcha/
Got this:Please upgrade to a supported browser to get a reCAPTCHA challenge.
Why is this happening to me?

@Gwen-Dragon @Vivajon
Sorry if i am confusing matters/hijacking. I'm the one on 3.3 not vivajon. I'll try updating. -
@Gwen-Dragon No problem
-
I use Buster for the reCaptcha, works fine and fast. It is a bot that resolves reCaptchas, to prove that I am not.

I experienced the same problem for any reCaptcha I came along since yesterday.
I did not change anything in my browser especially with my add-ons which are mainly uMatrix, uBlockOrigin, Privacy Badger and DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials.
This combination of add-ons worked fine on any websites using reCaptchas until yesterday.
I dissembled them all and tried again but the problem stayed.I also tried https://patrickhlauke.github.io/recaptcha/ for testing purpose and got the same message other user came along:
'Please upgrade to a supported browser to get a reCAPTCHA challenge.
Why is this happening to me?'I finally had to use my old browser friend of the good old days ('Opera') to get the job done.
I mention it because in other browsers this problem does not occur so it has to be a Vivaldi problem.I am finished with my Latin here (is this saying the same in English as in German ?
)Hope someone can help.
Greetings
PS: I forget to say that in Vivaldi for Android all tested reCaptachas work fine!

Many thanks for your quick answers!
@Catweazle , I did not know Trace and now I find it to be very useful - thanks for the tip!
@Gwen-Dragon , I have taken all proposed steps at https://help.vivaldi.com/article/troubleshooting-issues/
and one thing really helped - I enabled third party cookies and reCaptcha is functioning again.The weird thing is that I disabled third party cookies again, deleted all cookies, cache and other browser data and reCaptcha is working anyway....magic!
-
Ok, I now found that this had nothing to do with third party cookies enabled or not.
The only reason why reCaptcha is now working seems to be the add-on 'Trace'.
If I dissable Trace reCaptcha stops working.
So I assume that this might be a problem of the sent user-agent as @Gwen-Dragon already presumed.If I stumble upon any other finding I will come back here.
Thanks for the time being.

Hi dears, I'm facing the same issue with pretty much all Re-Captchas I try to use.
This was not happening in the past indeed. I'm running Vivaldi 3.4.2066.76 (Stable channel) (x86_64) in a Mac.
Example: when trying to login to LinkedIn. -
@Gwen-Dragon . You really had some hard task here for me, hadn`t you?
Ok, I somehow managed it:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/86.0.4240.101 Safari/537.36
Pressing F5 again and again and reCaptcha is not working - user-agent:
- user-agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; en-US) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/68.0
- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/86.0.4240.101 Safari/537.36
After testing by reloading the captcha with 'trace' on and off and different adjustments in 'trace' I am pretty sure that the user-agent is not the problem AND 'trace' makes the difference by adjusting some information which is sent. Though I do not know in which way it manage to achieve it.

@Gwen-Dragon I, too, am having recaptcha failure on every site that uses recaptcha after upgrading to Vivaldi 3.4 stable today:

Same issue on Windows 10 with the latest version. After disabling the extensions , I found the culprit. It was 'DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials' extensions causing it. However, in Chrome the same extension works fine, ie. reCaptchas are ok.

Fwiw, over the past few days i've also been getting reCaptcha failures on some sites, in Snapshot
3.4.2066.70 / Chrome 86.0.4240.95. They seem to still work ok in FF-Nightly, with identical uMatrix settings, & even if i fully disable V's native blocking [which should not be necessary / never used to be necessary].Spoiler
.
.
Just before posting this i checked with Stable
3.4.2066.76 / Chrome 86.0.4240.101at https://patrickhlauke.github.io/recaptcha/. It fails identically to Snapshot... clicking repeatedly on the little reCaptcha box does not generate the pictures popup, & eventually that error message instead pops up.
UPDATE.
Well, damnit ... despite not being needed in FF-Nightly, & afaik not being needed in older Vivaldis, atm the only way i can get reCaptcha to work in V is to enable Web Workers in uM ... not happy about this!
I presume that Chromium 86 brought us this lovely new "gift"...

@iletunic I can confirm that disabling the 'DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials' extension on macOS Version 10.15.7 for Vivaldi 3.4.2066.76 (Stable channel) (64-bit) causes the recaptcha to operate correctly on all sites that use it.
UPDATE: Visit a page that uses recaptcha with 'DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials' extension ENABLED. recaptcha breaks. Now click on the 'DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials' button next to the URL input box and disable 'Site Privacy Protection'. This adds the site to the DDG list of unprotected sites. Refresh the page: recaptcha now works! If you remove the site from the list of unprotected sites, re-enable Site Privacy Protection, then reload the page, recaptcha breaks again.
-
@Gwen-Dragon Not complaining about Vivaldi at all! I love it. Just trying to clarify the details around the problem so everyone knows the workarounds. It looks like (at least temporarily) disabling the 'DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials' extension is a workaround. Thanks.
-
@Gwen-Dragon I looked for a way to report this to Duck Duck Go but cannot find any bug reporting mechanism on their web site. Does the Vivaldi dev team have a way of communicating bugs to those who build extensions?
-
@jtjaynes thanks man, worked fine for me.
As for DDPE extension, You could send a report when asked if site is broken after turning it off for the site.
