Black screen when opening a web page
-
As the title says, randomly, every time I open a web page, it doesn't show up and instead the entire screen is black.

Vivaldi 6.6. 3291.89Vivaldi Shapshot (latest version), also has that problem. I'm checked if the adguard app has anything to do with it.

Hi, please add your Vivaldi, Android version and your device.
As I mentioned in the other threads, I cant reproduce this on my devices on Android 8.1 and 12.
Open speed dials, links or search results, no blank page.
I hope other users step by, if we can get information how to reproduce this constantly or at least 2-3 of 10 one can create a bug report.
You can test this in the Vivaldi snapshot (Beta) build, it is independent to your stable install.
The Vivaldi developers fixed about 150 bugs compare to the stable build.Cheers, mib

@shaedrashiro Hello, I have the same problem on my OnePlus 10 Pro (NE2214) / Android 14 / Vivaldi 6.6.3291.89. I made a bug report to the Vivaldi team via https://vivaldi.com/fr/bugreport/. Hoping they will find the solution ;-). Yours

Hi, i guess your report was VAB-9000, this was marked as duplicate of:
VAB-8929
When searching in a new tab, results will not be displayed until the tab is reloaded.
This seems to happen not only on Google search pages and the report was updated 22/Mar/24 from a developer.
These random bugs are hard to fix, the developer are aware of the issue.Cheers, mib
-
@mib2berlin So what can you do? , that bug is very annoying.
-
@shaedrashiro
Nothing, I am just a volunteer tester, the Vivaldi team decide what they do.
I fear I cant help here, sorry. -
@mib2berlin ah ok, thanks very much.
-
This bug happens so often, it's very annoying

@namitonguyen
Hi, the problem is, it happen never for me and only one developer could reproduce it sometimes, other tester cant.
I hope the developer can investigate why it happen for some user on some devices and then fix it.Cheers, mib

I have the same problem as @shaedrashiro and I have the feeling it gets worse every day. Almost every new tab (80%) I open will not load search results for the entered search words but stay blank. I think this only happens with Google as default search engine. I switched to another, and could not reproduce the issue. Switching back to Google, the bug is present again.
The only workaround is to restart the Vivaldi Browser or switch to another app and then back to Vivaldi. Then the tab loads. Reloading the tab via Reload button (in the address bar or the menu) won't work.

Hi, can you test this with the Vivaldi snapshot (Beta) build?
Search for vivaldi snapshot, it is independent to your stable install.
Install, change only the search engine and test.Cheers, mib
-
I can reproduce the issue in the snapshot version also and it is not dependent on the default search engine. I got blank pages with Google and Ecosia search engines. About 3 out of 5 tabs were blank after the initial search in both search engines.
However, switching tabs inside Vivaldi was now sufficient to make them actually load. It was no longer required to switch apps.
I have even observed that the expected content was already shown in the tab thumbnail when I entered the tab overview.

@andimaterie
Thanks for testing, better than before but not a solution.
I test Ecosia and got 12 of 12 working tabs, open in background or directly.
I updated the bug report and will add a link here.Cheers, mib
-
I forgot to mention that the bug also occurs if I open a web page from the speeddial.
And as a user commented above, this bug is very annoying which I know is becoming unbearable.

We're very sorry for the trouble, that's definitely not the experience we want you to have with Vivaldi.
I've seen it randomly too, but so far haven't found steps to reproduce it consistently. If you can think of a way to trigger the blank page every time, we'd love to hear about it.Also, when the blank page appears and you turn your phone's screen off and on again, does the page display as expected?

@jane-n This bug started a few releases before Vivaldi 6.6 was released
The steps to make the bug happen are random (I think), and these are the three ways I've found to reproduce the bug.
- Click on the search bar and type in a word, then click on a link that is saved in the bookmarks.
- Click on the search bar and type any word And accept.
- Open a new tab and on the Speed Dial , click on a web page.
The first option is more common for the web page to be displayed in black/white. And the third option is a bit frequent.
When the screen is black/white, it doesn't matter to reload the web page, it will remain the same. In order for the web page to be displayed correctly, all you have to do is change the tab and it will be displayed.
I've been using Vivaldi Snapshot 3335.22, It also has the white/black screen issue, but it's much less prevalent than previous versions including the stable version.
Sorry if I have bad spelling, I'm using a translator to translate the text from Spanish to English.

I have the same issue, for a few months already. It's nearly impossible for me to use Google in Vivaldi on Android. I have to run a different browser for my daily use because of this.
I currently have this issue with version 6.7.3335.44 of Vivaldi Browser Snapshot. Using a Samsung Galaxy S23, Android 14.
It happens to me mostly when I use the search bar. Another easy way to reproduce this issue is to place Google.com on the speed dial on the new tab page. Open a new tab multiple times and click the Google bookmark.
I hope a fix will come soon...

Has anyone encountered this issue with Vivaldi 6.7?
