@killchain Creating firewall rules does only work if you had run Installer as Administrator in mode Advanced and install type "For All Users"; with installation type "Standalone" or "Install for User" the installer can not change firewall.
It's a user install, so I assume autoupdate spawned from the browser process won't have administrator privileges. But then again why would it write to the log that it would attempt dealing with the firewall?

Hi, I can confirm the lost of pages/folder thumbnails now.
I guess after sync with my snapshot on Android the issue appears.
You can update the thumbnails for a folder in vivaldi://bookmarks/ > Update Thumbnails > right top.Cheers, mib
Pretty useful tip; works well enough as a workaround, thanks! I haven't thought about it.

Hi, you can ask about the status of a bug report in the bug status thread:https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/27450/what-is-the-status-of-vb-already-reported-bug-issue/
Check the change logs, if VB-101149 was not listed there, it is not fixed!
Cheers, mib

"Pressing Enter in address bar is slow with large history (VB-99872)"
Thanks! What a huge improvement (restoration of function, actually) in my Vivaldi usage. I type in URLs a lot and the delay in starting to load the page was really irritating. Now, problem solved.

After this last version the - already problematic - mail filtering & tagging stopped working at all. Even the filters/tags that were functioning before they are now "dead". It seems I'll have to delete every filter/tag and start from scratch hoping that this "reset" might work.

Can anyone report if this SnapShot ver. 3201.4 fixes the VB-100720 site data bug? I don't want to update/upgrade until this bug is fixed so
I can't try this one until I know if it's fixed. Please let me know. Thanks. -
@ViewVille It's not fixed.
Remember, you're testing Snapshots to help Vivaldi find bugs. There's no point in not upgrading, then you might as well just use Stable.

I am testing version 3201.4, but I don’t know what error VB-100720 is, since there is no transcript of this gobbledygook anywhere. So speak more clearly...
-
Thank you! I usually do always use the Stable version but 6.4 broke the site data and Vivaldi feels very crippled to me now with how much I used
that feature, so I was only considering the SnapShot version if it fixed the VB-100720 bug. I'm not really a beta tester but I get what you are saying.
Thanks. -
Capushon, It's the site data permissions for cookies. If you goto chrome://settings/content/all you will see it no longer list out site cookies, data, permissions,
and storage. It just shows a page with no listings. VB-100720 was what was confirmed for this bug. -
@ViewVille Right, guess I misunderstood since you posted in the Snapshot topic. If you're still on 6.4 there's no point in moving to Snapshot, in fact I'd not recommend swapping between Snapshot and Stable. I'd certainly not recommend Snapshots unless you're prepared to deal with (even more) bugs.
Just read the Snapshot release posts to see if it's fixed. Or wait for Stable fixes. Hopefully it will be fixed at least in 6.5.
But I got curious - what do you use the siteData page for?
It's not something I'd expect users to visit frequently. I can't think of many cases where I've had to do it myself. Unless you're doing web development and need to clear data from a specific site, and if so the Dev.tools are a better choice. And there are extensions to help you clear data without having to even think about it.

I can't try this one until I know if it's fixed. Please let me know. Thanks.AFAICT The
chrome://settings/content/all
now depends completely on the new "Privacy Sandbox" system in Chromium, which we have hard completely disabled in Vivaldi due to privacy concerns about this entire system, this is related to this articleRetrieving information about individual sites is possible by clicking on the padlock in the address bar and following the menu.

@killchain Click on reload-icon! or secondary-click and reload each one.
all together is possible in bookmarks (other view) with this: update thumbnails

It's unclear to me what that report meant. I took it to mean the issue that began a few months ago in which the address bar was slow to show results for those with a large history, but unfortunately it's not that, it's still as slow (unless you have a small history or disable history).
