Hang on, what's this???
Scrollable permissions dialog, oh joy!
No more Shift+Tabbing and guessing because the full blocked list won't fit on my 1080p TV with 150% DPI scaling

VB-69376

@pathduck Wonderful, isn't it?
It was introcuced in the previous snapshot if I'm not mistaken (at least, it was already in it). -
@hlehyaric It's certainly a big improvement to how it worked previously.
BUT in my opinion, a better way to handle it would be to simply not show any settings that are set as "Default". It should only show permissions that are overridden for the site. I set all permissions to Block (except Sound) and I really don't need to see that "Serial Port" or "Augmented Reality" is set to Blocked...
EDIT: Just figured out, this is a new thing in Chromium 97, so it might not be something we can credit the V team with after all

Remember the problem with external links failing to open?... Well, y'all fixed it!
Many thanks. -
There's an issue with extensions not working in private window that was present in the last snapshot and is still broken.
Extensions don't work in private windows when they did work before I updated to the previous snapshot and have allow in incognito selected. Seems like if the extension works by opening a new menu when you click on the toolbar button now doesn't work in incognito but works fine in normal mode.
I'm on 5.1.2553.3 (Official Build) (32-bit), have already disabled and reenabled both allow in incognito and disabled and re-enabled the extensions themselves.

@kwokinator same issue for uMatrix
-
@kwokinator: Sorry about that. This will be fixed in VB-85986.

Heh - weird. My Expatica feeds suddenly woke up again when I opened Vivaldi this morning. Some change in M3 means it works now or just the result of refreshing the database after update?

But that's exactly how it works already. If you use the default permissions, they won't show up on the list. And since you're blocking almost everything (which is not the default settings for most of them), they're shown in that popup.
Here's how it looks for me, with the default settings:

Yes of course, but the thing is I don't use the default settings. I set them all to Block. If I want to allow something on a site I'm perfectly capable of going into Site Settings and doing it there. I have no need to know that "Motion Sensors" or "Bluetooth scanning" is blocked, I already know that.
The main problem seems to be is what Vivaldi considers "default" is not the same as in the Chromium settings, so the setting says "Not allowed (default)" which makes no sense to show - because it's already default.
It would be much better if settings that are set "Default" do not show at all. But I understand this dropdown is controlled by Chromium base, and there's little the Vivaldi team can do about it without a full rewrite.

I've been getting freezes and crashes for the last few snapshots.
-
@paul1149 And had you reported the crashdumps for such issues?

There are two sets of "defaults" here. One set of default permissions for each website (configured separately) and another set of global permissions (which apply to every website). The global ones can be overridden by per-website permissions.
Now, as long as you don't change any of them, they'll not show up in the popup. However, since you changed the global permissions, they're no longer set to default - hence they appear in the popup.@pathduck said in Fix for the extension store – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 2553.3:

To each their own, I guess. If - for example - someone chooses to block location services globally, they still might want to have quick access for allowing them on a specific website and would like to see such an option in this popup. And I believe that's why it appears there.
A better solution would be to allow everyone to choose which permission would they like to see there (if any), but since it's derived from Chromium, there's not much we could do about it for now. -

Careful, you two ... loose talk like this might wake up the Presto Reincarnation Trolls once again

But the dialog does say the settings are Default
Why show something when it's default?

CamelizerI can verify this bug. I just tested it and any extension that's been allow to work in incognito mode when click only brings up a tiny white square.
