Vivaldi 6.8 on Android – New ways to make the browser match you and updated Ad Blocker
-
After updating I was trying to use the function to customize the background of the start page and vivaldi crashed and now whenever I try to open vivaldi it won't work because it crashes.
Fix this please
-
@ourostra confirmed, me too...
-
I have the same thing, I changed the background of speed dial.
I can only open the browser when I click on a link from Facebook / Google News...
But if you open a new tab it crashes, unless you use tabs in incognito mode.Merci de corriger !
-
We're extremely sorry for the trouble.
We've confirmed the crash bug. A new version is on its way to the Play Store and will be live as soon as Google approves it.
Thank you for your patience! -
Hi! Same here - after I updated Vivaldi for Android 6.8 and I change Speed Dial background - Vivaldi crashes and I can't open it. I hope this will be fixed soon. Thanks.
-
Unfortunately I hit a bug. I just changed the wallpaper for my start page and now Vivaldi is crashing when it tries to open the start page. I can't revert it because it also crashes if I try to open the start page settings from the menu. Any idea?

@chri_ho if you clear the cache it will work again, but you'll have to login to your account, etc again.

If you can, wait for an update with a fix:@jane-n said in Vivaldi 6.8 on Android – New ways to make the browser match you and updated Ad Blocker:

@jane-n: Thank you and the team for the quick response

@ourostra: same here sadly 🫤
So, right now without a browser
-
The blank screen still appears.
-
Has something changed in this release regarding font sizes? Lots of sites look massive now. Old reddit has big text for the links and looks broken as all the other text is small...
-
so, I set google as homepage by access setting from private window and it worked.
-
@3dvs I did the same thing, putting "Google" on the home page. It works while waiting for the bug to be fixed. And to access my speed dials, I go through the side panel on Android

@fantasybenji Hold your device in Portrait (long side vertical) and you should be able to start Vivaldi and switch to a solid color. Leave it as a solid color and it should work in Landscape too, except the Settings > Wallpaper screen.
-
Ad blocking seems to work great. You can see the improvement. A nice addition would be if there were no white spaces after ads.
-
@jon My subjective impressions after this update: it uses more ram, but I can clearly see an improvement in speed, both in terms of page loading and the performance of the browser itself. A big plus with this update (no problems so far
) -

Same happened to me, except it crashes whenever I try to open the browser at all, not just a new tab (I have Vivaldi launch with the speed dial open). I can open private tabs by long-pressing on the Vivaldi icon, but that's it.
I reported the bug last night when it happened (VAB-9470). Hopefully it gets escalated to "Blocker", because I can only use Vivaldi in private tabs right now.
Edit: I just updated the bug report with more info.
Edit 2: I see they fixed a crashing issue around the time I reported this last night. Hopefully it's the Speed Dial/Start Page background crash.

@mjpa I am having the exact same problem. And using zoom does not fix the issue.

Why was the option to toggle Dark Mode for individual sites removed? Because this feature breaks many sites, I found that toggle to be great. Now this feature is basically useless without it...
