Northern Summer Fixes – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 3077.3

[ender85]

@mib2berlin It's a bug, because Vivaldi now shows file sizes (and presumably transfer speeds) that differ from the rest of the system.

@ender85
If you think it is a bug you can report it to the bug tracker.
The Vivaldi team will decide and report back to you.

Cheers, mib

@koloveli I know you have been asked before, but why do you keep posting this?

i study security of information, report bugs in softwares...

Some downloads are hanging with this build.

//modedit: large picture removed. Please stop posting the same meaningless image over and over

[SilentWatcher]

@koloveli Sure, it could help, but it is unlikely. If a malicious site is trying to impersonate a legitimate one, wouldn't they use the same colors as the real site? The best way to not accidentally put your login credentials into a fake site is to use a password manager. They won't prompt to fill in your login unless the domain is correct.

It is fine to share a tip once, but of your 31 posts, basically all are about this same topic. Even your profile picture...

Consider posting it once in the Tips & Tricks category and not repeatedly posting it elsewhere: https://forum.vivaldi.net/category/144/tips-tricks

@Pesala

It's not a site problem.

The same thing is happening now, Snapshot hangs and Stable finishes

Stable

Snapshot

They also seem to have a different file size, for the exact same file

[Pesala]

@sjudenim It is that stupid Chromium security issue with executable files.

I now have a bookmark to chrome://downloads where one can fix the problem.

@sjudenim
Hi, I can download the file but I am on Linux.
I guess it is the feature of Chromium 116 to block .exe files work different as in stable, Chromium 114.
You should get a popup with Keep or Discard.

Cheers, mib

[Pesala]

@mib2berlin The popup never appears — that makes the problem so much harder to resolve.

[mib2berlin]

@Pesala
For Linux relevant files, .rpm .deb, it appears but not in any case.
I cant find any logic when and when not.

Cheers, mib

[npro]

@sjudenim The file size is the same, with this build the units are following the standard SI/IEC: [Downloads] [Panels] Use decimal SI units instead of legacy binary units (VB-98728)

257.73 MB are 245.79 MiB (your previous MB)

There is no logic to it - that's the problem.

For some download for some users - fine. For others - it just just appears to "hang" at 100%. It's not really hanging - it's waiting for input from a "helpful" "security" dialog that never appears...

[Pesala]

@Pathduck Indeed, no logic at all.

The free utility sizer.exe downloads fine from my insecure site. No delay, and no dialog.

[npro]

@mib2berlin Same happens in Linux for specific file types as well (already prior to C/116 iirc wrong: downloads fine in V.-C/114) , for example the Vivaldi install script https://downloads.vivaldi.com/snapshot/install-vivaldi.sh , notification is being shown only with the Plasma integration extension.

/edit: which is not working as well, there's no button/option or anything to say "yes, f* please"

/update1: strangely enough, the file is being downloaded in a clean profile, without a warning

/update2: if you paste the url in the address bar it downloads the file without the warning.
If you don't use Vivaldi's UI with --disable-vivaldi and click on the url you get the option to discard/keep at the bottom.

Same here. A few snaphots ago there was also this problem, was fixed, and now is back again.

@sjudenim Download works for me on Windows 11. After all downloaded it took 6 seconds to get the notification, i guess it is a Windows Defender delay.

[sjudenim]

@Pesala

That pop up usually shows before downloading the file, but it doesn't show at all with this build. It just starts the download.

And speaking of notifications, when a file completes it's download, the notification sticks around forever. I have to manually close it. This has been a problem for a while now

[sjudenim]

@DoctorG

If it was Windows related I would think that it would have the same issue in the Stable build, but that one has no problem completing the download
