@Para-Noid said in How to import / export passwords between Vivaldi and Chrome: Chrome does not allow the user to export bookmarks as html or otherwise. Actually, it does. HTML is how it exports them.

Welcome to the forums, thanks for starting a new topic and enjoy Vivaldi Browser. type vivaldi://version on the Address Bar to get the full path of the Profile folder HTML5 is present on your machine, YT requires it access to content protected by DRM - in https://demo.castlabs.com there is a video that includes subtitles HBO, Netflix have a look at this article available on Vivaldi Browser Help (hit F1 to access). @ruario (our Linux Wizard) is the author of many of those shell scripts.

Thanks for the warm welcome & the advice. ^^

Let's hope this isn't needed for long, time to get rid of them altogether

That's definitely a possibility. But are the settings being restored?

@lonm I just checked it with Chromium and it works with Chromium, it's just so weird that it doesnt work with Vivaldi.

@ian-venner Without knowing exactly what you did to reset things on your system, we can't really offer any specific advice or explanations. Both Chrome and Vivaldi (currently) use the "Chrome Safe Storage" key in the macOS Keychain to encrypt and decrypt data in their secure information stores. The key has an Access Control List and both Chrome and Vivaldi should have access to this key. If either Chrome or Vivaldi loses access to the "Chrome Safe Storage" key value, the application will not be able to decrypt/access data (such as passwords) in secure storage. If the "Chrome Safe Storage" key gets deleted, the decryption key will be lost as well and you will lose access to passwords that have been stored locally. However, you should still be able to retrieve any Chrome passwords that you have sync'ed. A reboot (normally) should have no affect on your Vivaldi installation. (I say this with certainty because I shut down my MacBook at the end of every day.) Chrome is indirectly affected by a reboot because it always tries to update itself whenever you log into your account; sometimes the Chrome update will reset the "Chrome Safe Storage" ACL, so this could also affect Vivaldi. Normally, if either Chrome or Vivaldi loses access to the key in the Keychain, you'll be prompted to re-grant access. You can view the ACL using "Keychain Access.app"; double-click on "Chrome Safe Storage" and look the the entries under the "Access Control" tab. Apart from sharing the "Chrome Safe Storage" key, the Vivaldi and Chrome installations are completely separate. Assuming that your problems are caused by a missing entry in the "Chrome Safe Storage" key's Access List, it should be an easy thing to fix.

@razr96 well cool! I'll be checking back now and then just to stay tuned

@racingtortoiise Well, I'm pretty sure a touch fix will come, but don't know when. A lot of touch users still uses 1.9 stable which simply works.

I remember a bug, auth with google account/api does not work in Vivaldi. Sometimes a special developer key or payment from browser maker company is needed to use Google API.

If you found a bug, please report the issue to the developers to fix it. How to do a bugreport for Vivaldi Report each bug seperately at https://vivaldi.com/bugreport/ Describe the issue as precise as you can. Add some information about extensions you use. Add information about the operating system and version you use. If you have problems with video or audio give us information about your installed codecs and graphics card/GPU. Add a exact link to the page where the issue comes up and can be tested. After reporting the issue, you will receive a confirmation mail from the bugtracker. In a reply to this mail you can add more information and files (like screenshots or testcases) as attachments and it will be added automatically to bug report. If you have questions about the bug please ask in forum first and do not forget to post the VB-XXXXX bug number (you can find it in confirmation mail). Thanks in advance for helping us to make Vivaldi better!

@batu That's because the toggle takes up horizontal space and that's what made the difference on your WXGA screen.

I figured it out. Deselecting "Always prefer bookmarks" in settings corrected the behavior.

@Ayespy said in Netflix only works when Chrome is installed: @Steffie said in Netflix only works when Chrome is installed: "Netflix only works when Chrome is installed" ... well, this news certainly comes as a great shock to me. I wonder how it is then that every night i watch hours of Netflix on my Lappy in V, & sometimes during days i do ditto on my Tower, with no Chrome installed on either? I guess i must be only dreaming it... or maybe you're wrong... ........................................................................................................................................................................... Tower's SSD OS = Linux Mint x64 17.3 KDE 4.14.2. [< 26/9/16]; Maui 2 "Blue Tang" x64 Plasma 5.8.2. Lappy's SSD OS = Linux Mint x64 17.3 KDE 4.14.2. [< 18/9/16]; Mint 18 “Sarah” x64 Xfce+Compiz. Be nice. On a fresh clean install, the WideVine plugin is not downloaded immediately. It arrives for Vivaldi when it "updates" (which in my experience can take five minutes to a day). If it doesn't update fast enough, then going to it in vivaldi://components and clicking on it can cause it to "update" (ie, download). I think this could actually be a licensing thing, whereby Vivaldi is actually not allowed to package it. It's a fair cop. YamiYukiSenpai, i unreservedly apologise. Note to self -- work harder to keep my inner bitch suppressed.
