Solved Install button on Google Play will not work
-
Hello. I went to Google play store recently to install an app to my phone. but the install button is greyed out. I went to a bare version of Chrome I have and it worked instantly.
Something in Vivaldi is stopping the button from working and I have no clue where to start.
This is just one of a number of times Vivaldi stops me browsing. I'm increasingly having to use Chrome instead now and it's really frustrating.
Windows 10 and Vivaldi 5.5.2805.38 (Stable channel) (64-bit)
Revision 76a463d9378958cda5e4c7acc707661bc144238b
OS Windows 10 Version 21H2 (Build 19044.2364)
JavaScript V8 10.6.194.20
User Agent Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/106.0.0.0 Safari/537.36
Command Line "C:\PPrograms\Internet programs\Browsers\Vivaldi\Application\vivaldi.exe" --vivaldi-standalone --flag-switches-begin --enable-features=PasswordImport --flag-switches-end --save-page-as-mhtml
Executable Path C:\PPrograms\Internet programs\Browsers\Vivaldi\Application\vivaldi.exe
Profile Path C:\PPrograms\Internet programs\Browsers\Vivaldi\User Data\Default -
I have a solution. The Play store link saved in Vivaldi is the US link which will not work with a UK computer.
I haven't got the link saved in other browsers, so I manually type it in and get the UK version. I just changed the URL of the speeddial link in Vivaldi and it's working fine.
Thank you everyone for giving your time to try and help out. -

Hi, first this is not the latest stable, --vivaldi-standalone is not a standard flag and some user report extensions and third party security tools block/slowdown Vivaldi.
Avast and other Norton, Eset and more are known to make trouble for Vivaldi, VPN and cookie extensions, too.
Please add a link to such extensions for other user to test.Cheers, mib

@mib2berlin Not the latest stable means it needs updating?
vivaldi-standalone is not a standard flag - I have no clue what you mean by this
I don't have any of those Avast, Norton or any other type of anti virus. Just Windows Defender. I don't have a VPN.
The only 2 extensions I ever use are https://www.editthiscookie.com and https://www.fbpurity.com which I use on any browser I use. -
@boristhemoggy said in Buttons on web pages will not work in Vivaldi.:
Google play store
Check Settings/Privacy and Security - Google extensions
I'm guessing you will need to ENABLE (allow) "Web Store" - and possibly "Google Services Token".

Command Line "C:\PPrograms\Internet
Should that really be Programs with PP ??

Yes

It is if you installed Vivaldi as "Standalone" (not the default "All Users").

@boristhemoggy You have a phone with Windows 10 on it?

@TbGbe
Everything is ticked as 'on'.PPrograms is my own use folder with all my standalone programs inside. I named it that to simplify remembering.
Just updated it.
I've always used Vivaldi standalone. Every program that I use that has a standalone version I use as standalone. This comes from the early days of discs failing and programs interfering with buggy windows.
The install button is still greyed out, but it works in Chrome and Firefox. It seems in the last year Vivaldi has come bug prone and unreliable where once nothing ever went wrong with it

I do not, no.

@boristhemoggy Then how is visiting the play store in the Windows version of Vivaldi supposed to install an app on your phone? Tell us about the version on your phone.

Clicking an app on your desktop windows machine, remotely installs on your phone if you are using the same google ID on each device. That's not the issue. The issue is why the install button on apps in Playstore does not work. It's greyed out. It's not greyed out in any other browser.

C:\PPrograms\Internet programs\Browsers\Vivaldi\Application\vivaldi.exe
Uninstall the old 5.5.2805.38:
- Start cmd.exe (is the app Command line)
- Copy next line
"C:\PPrograms\Internet programs\Browsers\Vivaldi\Application\5.5.2805.38\Installer\setup.exe" /uninstall - Paste in command line window
- Hit Return key
