HID devices issue

DoctorG

I will check from time to time the bug tracker or you ping me with @DoctorG in thread.

Will do. Thanks for your help!

Hopefully this will get fixed.

I'm currently setting up Vivaldi and facing the same issue. Very pitty and I hope there is a fix very soon. Otherwise I would have to use another browser.

Seeing that this HID topic is open for quite long, I would like to ask if you can give a short update or if possible to provide an ETA. If there is a solution in the pipeline I would continue using Vivaldi. But if this takes longer I really have to switch everything to another browser, which would be a lot of work again and I would also like to avoid it.
This HID device issue is the only issue I have and I like everything else about Vivaldi so far. I guess there are many people interested to get a fix for this issue as it blocks a lot of interactions.

Masterbug is VB-95733 "attempting to use WebHID API causes browser to crash"- Confirmed
No developer assigned, no ETA.

@DoctorG When will this finally be fixed ? I see that this problem has been dragging on for you for a very long time and there is no desire to fix it.

There are already topics from September that websites can't connect to USB devices

Yeah, i use VIAL to configure my keyboard, i just started using Vivaldi and its annoying to have to go back to Opera to configure it. just posting this so maybe it gets more attention lol.

Many user can not use Vivaldi properly and get basically forced to use another browser. I'm not sure if this is a good approach to get more users. I also hope someone is going to fix it soon.
And good to put attention to it, I also think many people simply do not register an account for this issue. They just switch to another browser before they actually dive into Vivaldi

I just wanted to say that I am also waiting for this to be fixed.

I don't even see why it takes so long, since it is extremely easy to reproduce, and it was introduced by some Vivaldi's commit since other browsers works normally. So few bisects in Git history should point to the commit that broke it...

Would "+1" replies help the bug get more attention, if any?

If so, I'm adding mine.

If not.... I'm sorry for posting, and sad for using Vivaldi sometimes, given there's a little pile of unsolved bugs/UX issues on my side: (

Still a issue with Vivaldi 7.1.3570.30/33; i updated bug tracker.

@igorsantos07 Popup to select device appears? But does not connect?

igorsantos07

@DoctorG Exactly. My use case is https://usevia.app. It finds my keyboard, I select it, but then nothing happens. If I press the "Authorize" button again, it simply shows my keyboard again, with "- Paired" by the end of the keyboard model. Selecting it still does nothing, differently from Chrome.

I tried the same using gksudo (which right now, is required from Chrome to properly connect to my keyboard on Linux), but Vivaldi does exactly the same: nothing. No info on the console either.

No useful information at vivaldi://device-log either; here I unplugged, re-plugged the keyboard, and then tried to pair at usevia.app:

DoctorG

@igorsantos07 Is this mentioned issue https://forum.vivaldi.net/post/792760

igorsantos07

@DoctorG Nope! It doesn't crash at all, given I was even able to get logs after trying to access the keyboard on UseVia. It just doesn't do anything after I select the device on the integrated popup.

DoctorG

@igorsantos07 That is known and no-connect is known report and covered by the mentioned master bug, too.

@DoctorG
Has this been fixed yet or is there some work around available other than using another browser?

No and No.
Use a different browser for this task.
