Browser ad error
-
Since the December 2023 update, the Vivaldi browser retains
looks weird. Sometimes if I turn on the Vivaldi application and run any website
then in the address bar it shows me the disabled blocking icon
trackers and ads. Even though I have ad blocker turned on all the time
in Vivaldi settings.
The problem is solved only by restarting the web browser
Vivaldi. The problem repeats itself often.
Ad blocker is turned on in settings and works, while the icon in
the address bar shows something completely different (as in the attachment). The problem mainly occurs when you first launch the Vivaldi application after turning on the phone.
The ad blocking option is still turned on and working, but the badge in the address bar shows something completely different.Project: Vivaldi Android Browser

Hi,
Was this already reported? -
@Zalex108
Hi, as duplicate of VAB-8532 the OP mention?
I cant find one.
@Campedor922 do you report this?
Open newlevelsport.pl/blog show the correct icon:Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Lite
MIUI 13
Android 12
Vivaldi 6.4.3171.134 Stable -
Ok,
Thx.I've read it either on Telegram or the News Topic.
Actually it happens on me as well in some occasions.
-
@mib2berlin The error has not been fixed.
-
@Campedor922
Hi, your report is reopened but not confirmed.
I cant confirm it because I could never reproduce it on my Android 8.1 and 12 deveices. -
@mib2berlin Why does this happen to me regularly when I press: menu - exit?
This option also delete my browsing history because I want it to. -
@Campedor922
Hi, did you report this two times?
We had a third report:
VAB-8579
Blocker state changes as you scroll
This was fixed in Vivaldi 6.6.
VAB-8532 is marked as duplicate of VAB-8802 and this is marked as duplicate of VAB-8532.
The cat bites its own tail.
No idea what to do with these reports, only developers should reopen a report.
You don't mention you delete the browsing data at Vivaldi close but make no difference on my devices.
I cant reproduce this.Cheers, mib
EDIT: The main question is, does the ad blocker work independent of the status shown in the address bar?
EDIT 2: I will try to ping a developer in the developer chat today. -
@Campedor922
Hi, there was another report:
[Regression] Killing/reopening the app sets the blocker setting back to the previous state (VAB-8847)This is fixed in the latest update, please check this, I can close the other reports then.
Cheers, mib

@mib2berlin The ad blocker works, the only difference is the appearance of the icon. If other people have reported this, it means I'm not the only one who noticed this issue and it still persists in version 6.6.3291.47. I only reported it once, I don't remember the report number.
I can share a video of the problem.

@Campedor922
Hi, did you report in Polish?
Anyway, this report was never confirmed, a tester or developer repopend it, no idea who.The duplicated report seems to be different.
Steps to reproduce:
0. Tune adblock to privacy block by default
1. Open some sites in Vivaldi
2. Close Vivaldi with task manager
3. Open Vivaldi again.And this is fixed.
I am totally confused, maybe @DoctorG can look into VAB-8532 if she find some time.

Can not reproduce the issue of VAB-8532 / Android 10 / Vivaldi 6.6 (3291.47)
Blocker works for me.
//edit: Blocker status icon shows correct. -
@DoctorG
Hi and yes, blocker work but the icon does not show the correct status.
I cant reproduce this either, mib -
I tested many times and can not reproduce the issue with wrong Blocker shield at Newsportslevel.
I can see, happens not always, after opening page, the icon shows for ½ sec shield as disabled and when page begins to load the shield is ok.
-
Want a video of the problem?
Yes, Polish version. -
@Campedor922
Hi, we believe you it happen on your system but a tester and/or a developer have to reproduce it to fix a possible bug.
Do you delete browsing data at Vivaldi close? -
@mib2berlin Maybe the recording will make it easier for you to understand the problem (language barrier). Yes, I use close and this happens. I close the browser without the close option and this also happens. There is no regularity in this problem, I don't know what it depends on. The problem only appears sometimes, but regularly. I thought it might be an OS issue caused by the app closing suddenly and not running in the background.

@Campedor922
It cant hurt to upload/link the video but the status of the icon never change on both mobil devices I use, independent how I close Vivaldi.
If your device support it you can create a clean clone of Vivaldi, this is called Dual Apps.
If this clone work correctly it is something in you user profile does this.Cheers, mib

@mib2berlin I'm testing Vivaldi using 2Accounts and I can't get this error to occur, which also appears on regular Vivaldi. Is this due to individual browser settings?
