So many fixes – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 2603.6

@elraggio I think you’re making a big deal of something that is nothing. Vivaldi doesn’t block anything, it just removed some default engines/bookmarks. You are free to add them yourself. It’s Vivaldi’s decision to stop business with these companies however, they don’t even need a reason.
-
@elraggio Vivaldi does not censor anything. False Facts.

@elraggio Vivaldi Stands with Ukraine

the Icelandic government makes international mistakes
Eeeeeek, you're so right! I have now uninstalled every Icelandic search engine i was using, & also shall return my Icelandic washing machine to the shop. One cannot be too careful!
-
@elraggio Please check a dictionary for the difference between censure and censor.
The sponsored bookmarks help to support Vivaldi, who prefer to forego that income to show their support for Ukraine / and to censure Russia.
Anyone can add back the bookmarks as they wish.
-
@elraggio again, it's not "censorship", it's Vivaldi interrupting their relationship with russian companies hence removing the links given as defaults. It doesn't stop YOU from using those sites. Only if that was the case of software blocking actively certain sites you can use the word censorship.
You are free to add whatever you want in your bookmarks as well as Vivaldi are free to add and remove whatever they want from their product. -

macOS 12.3 Broke Vivaldi and other chrominium based browsers. Any ideas how to fix that?

Hm, what do you mean by "break"? I'm on 12.3 (on Intel) and Vivaldi is working as expected; is this for Apple Silicon?
-
@non-troppo: yes, apple m1. Crash after 5 sec after start, when shown the window and Vivaldi try to render the interface and content.
-
I think the Vivaldi team is following the chromium development cycle: one snapshot per month.
-
@ian-coog If Vivaldi did remove Russian search-engiens and/or sponsored links for political reasons, that displeases me. That said: Vivaldi was, and remains, one of the least political browsers out there.

@supra107: Don't worry about the ruble, you'd better keep an eye on the prices of gas, gasoline, electricity and food

@arevis2: works here without problems

[Bookmarks] Remove Mail.ru from bookmarks (VB-87133)
[Bookmarks] Remove Yandex.Games and Yandex.Market (VB-87201)That confirms it, Vivaldi is cutting ties with Russia. I've already commented on that, but I've thought about it some more:
If Vivaldi is doing this because the current legal climate makes it too risky to have business ties with Russia: That's one thing.
If Vivaldi is boycotting a whole country as a political protest: That's a far more political move than I've come to expect from this company! Worse, It's double-standard. My own country, America, invades and bombs other countries. Yet Vivaldi has American search-engines, such as DuckDuckGo.
I'll be honest: This damages my trust in Vivaldi either-way! If they take this farther, if they (for example) block Russians from installing or updating Vivaldi, I doubt I'll continue to use or promote this browser.

As a patriot of my country, Russia thank you for your objectivity.
But, you should not take the anti-Russian steps of the VIVALDI leadership to heart like that. They themselves are hostages of a political situation. -

@eggcorn Nobody is forcing Vivaldi to make any decision. They are a private company, and can choose who they want to do business with.
If you want to quit using Vivaldi because of "politics" that is of course also your decision.

Vivaldi doesn't/won't take action concerning the citizens of any country. They (for instance) have at least one Russian employee.
