@doctorg Thanks for the fast reply, but the steps above take too much time for now. I have some other work to finish, sorry!

@alv

UPDATE. Clearing browser cache did it, or i am guessing a combination of clearing cache and deleting the profile.
Ironically I am not able to login to the vivaldi forum from vivaldi... can't win. Oh well, vivaldi's flawless split screen support in combo with whatsapp and skype is what i really needed.

Thanks.

Unfortunately the developers have decided to mark this as "Will not do" for the moment. This is because the upstream chromium code doesn't easily allow for this to be changed beyond the command line arguments and at the moment the developers do not have the resources to work on this.

If you want, you could make a request to the chromium project for this feature.

@Gwen-Dragon said in Moving the Cache:

vivaldi.exe --disk-cache-dir="R:\MyVivaldiCache"

Well that was painless - thank you!

@Pathduck Thanks. Also for moving. just tried it and it worked. Now I just have to figure out how "force page reload" was translated into German. I can't find the command, but I'll take a closer look later 😉

edit: Found

How do I clear cache and other items from the browser? Thanks.

In case you don't know, Vivaldi Browser Help Center is available by hitting F1

@sbernecchia
Hi, the superuser thread is 11 years old but one command line switch seems to work.

@Panino
Hi, you can try to use:
--disk-cache-size=N
N is in Bytes, I test 1024 and it cut the cache to ~1000 Bytes.
Makes not much sense to me, the cache is always faster than loading files and images over and over again.

If you want to save your SSD, I use SSD since ten years and the first one is still running, you cant break modern SSD anymore writing Terabytes.

@quhno I don't know how to go to cookies. I tried chrome://settings/cookies and
chrome://settings/Cookies. I went through the regular settings menu to see all my cookies and it came up empty even though I have all cookies allowed.
