Solved Is there any way to update the version of Chrome on which Vivaldi is based?
-
The problem is that some extensions from the Chrome store do not support the current version of Chrome on which Vivaldi is based, what can I do about it?
Thank you for your help!

@haccckerrr No such issue even on Vivaldi 5.1.2519.3 / Chromium 96.0.4664.113. Seems you are on a legacy vivaldi or using an user agent spoofer extension which point to an older chromium version. Even some security extensions could mess with UA strings and cause the issue so let us know which you have.
For answering to your question, no, the only way to update the chromium version is to get a recent vivaldi version. -
@haccckerrr What version of Vivaldi are you running? The current stable release
5.0.2497.48is already on Chromium version96.0.4664.175. -

@haccckerrr Stop using privacy extension or security tool which changes your browser user-agent to such old version number.

@haccckerrr So, Vivaldi is not based on Chrome, but on Chromium, a very different product.
Yes, there is a way to change the Chromium base that Vivaldi uses. Download the Chromium code. Spend several hours patching it to meet Vivaldi specs and requirements, and to make it compatible with the Vivaldi browser and UI code. Re-write Vivaldi code as necessary to make it work without new bugs and regressions on top of the new Chromium code. Integrate the two different code layers in a single instance, and run automated tests to ensure the layers work together. Feed the data to a build sever, and have a new build of Vivaldi generated (takes only a few hours).
Voila! You have Vivaldi on a new version of Chromium!
