Sending/Syncing Tabs between devices not working
-
@DoctorG: Thank you very much for this. I was already wondering why Vivaldi has sync problems, but other Chromium-based browsers (e.g., Brave, which I tested) do not have sync problems. It must be something Vivaldi-specific, but I do not know whether it is a browser- (frontend-) or sync server- (backend-) -based issue...

I did not get any information, if it is the special Vivaldi Sync implementation in browser or server side.
-
@DoctorG: Is there any news regarding the Sync issue from devs' side?
-
@patrickweiden Sadly no progress for a fix.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one with this problem. I hope it's fixed soon. One of the reasons I switched to Vivaldi was the ease of sending tabs between devices.
-
@brianrubin: I also hope for a fix coming out soon, but as the thread is open from Feb 5, I do not expect a fix to come out soon, unfortunately. And I cannot believe that there was a bigger problem with Sync in general, as other Chromium-based browsers (like Brave) have a working Sync... I dunno...
-
@patrickweiden Yeah it's super frustrating, especially because, at one time, it worked GREAT. I just don't get how it was so thoroughly broken.
-
@brianrubin: Me neither. Just wondering about and if someone (@DoctorG) could find out more details about the problem, this would be very interesting (at least for me)...

FYI: VB-86341: "Send to your devices" option doesn't work - Vivaldi dev said that was removed by Chromium devs from Chromium core
Sad.

Very very ... very sad.
@DoctorG: Can you please ask back why then e.g. Brave still has the feature? I do not think that Brave has a different "basis" for syncing than Vivaldi has - but I do not know (just assuming - hence wondering)...

Interesting thing is if you go to the Sync Node Browser tab in vivaldi://sync-internals you can see the tabs have been received by the device. There's just something blocking them from being displayed
Come on Vivaldi team, you've got a great product here, why aren't you prioritising this one bug that's messing up with everyone's day to day flow?

VB-86341 reopened, dev was assigned, he will check when spare time if it can be added again and is not too complicated.
We hope the best.

Thank you very much for this!

@patrickweiden Yes, i miss the feature too, was so nice to send tabs from my Android to my Windows/Linux Desktop or vice-versa.
-
@kserko Is this...hope? I'm almost afraid to consider it
-
Hey y'all just checking in. Anyone know if there's been any update on this?
-
@brianrubin Not yet.
