@Dr-Flay said in Google's 'secret web tracking pages' explained: are you OK with Tom, Dick and Harry buying far more personal info about you I don't have any economic loss if they do so, if anything, they are just profiling which ads I might be interested in. All they know about "me" is that from this IP I visit some site and do some searches. Too bad for them, I block all ads with uBlock Origin, they can try all they want but I don't even see the ads they're trying to feed me. I really don't know what people have to fear if they gather statistics on what I visit. Quoting the article: "That data was not seen by him but could have included information about age and gender, habits, social media usage, ethnicity or political affiliation, he said." And who cares? Only people that HAVE something to hide. They better not use the internet. I don't fear anyone who knows my age and gender, why should I? You can even see my age on my profile here. Now tell me, that it's a google problem? Or it's Vivaldi that shouldn't allow me to tell others which is my birthdate? Because it's a "sensitive info"? Of course I can tell you a secret: I don't use my birthdate as a PIN/Password, who does it's just an idiot and DESERVE to be ripped off if he does

@DIDAlejandro Hola, Comprueba en un perfil llamado Test por ejemplo. Si funciona, borra Cookies y cache de esos sitios. Si se repite, desactiva Extensiones, quizás alguna lo provoque. Motivos? No sé, en mi caso lo de G sucede en ocasiones usando VPNs, mira a ver si es tu caso.

@LonM said in A New Google Chrome Extension Will Detect Your Unsafe Passwords: @Catweazle said in A New Google Chrome Extension Will Detect Your Unsafe Passwords: a safer program I see there may be a misunderstanding here. Unlike google's solution, It's not a program, it's literally just a text file containing the hashes of leaked passwords. If you check your password (hash) and it is in the text file, your password has been leaked somewhere. No phoning home to any services or running exes required. This is what a section of the file looks like: FFFFFFB54953F45EA030FF13619B930C96A9C0E3:11 Basically, it means that 11 people have used a leaked password with that hash value, so it would not be recommended for use as it is no longer unique and secure. I tried your page with one of my passwords I use for passwords other than 1234

@shalom938 This will not be happening. Vivaldi will not join the Borg (and surrender all your data to them). So to sync, I am afraid you will have to use Vivaldi's proprietary system - for better or for worse.

@lokian Do you have the issue only with Vivaldi, just to confirm?

Let's write it down clearly: SMS and call log permissions can only be accessed by apps that have been chosen as default apps for calls or messages. If an app hasn't been selected as default, it loses these permissions. Apps that don't ask to be default handler cannot have these permissions. This is more babysitting from google, to protect the stupid average user from themselves. Nothing more, nothing less. They do the same thing on Chrome. It's old news. Personally I really don't care, I don't want any app to read my messages or phone logs, if I don't make phone calls or message with it – I welcome the change. Now, some people might rely on an app that needs these permissions without being the default app – for those that sucks. We will see how this plays out.

@garlicbread8473 This has been discussed extensively in the forums and "solved" for the time being over the last several days. My guess is that a search of the forum before posting might have found the topic(s) where that's been done. Until new builds come out with a solution, go to vivaldi://flags and reset the identity consistency flag to "Enabled DICE (fix auth errors)" This is a bug that was introduced by a Chrome strategy to collect Google account data in Chromium-based browsers. Vivaldi doesn't permit the strategy.

As the snapshots are now on v72, you can start to use these tools. They can be found at vivaldi://extensions. If you click to see the details of an extension that tries to the "All sites" permission, you can restrict it as follows:

@tonyrulez there's an odd way to login with these plugin into google drive: simply choose "use another account" and fill the fileds with the same data again, it will login to the account. (at least it worked for me this way a few minutes ago). Maybe it works with other Google-related plugins too...

@becm said in YouTube Side Panel doesn't work properly (redirect to desktop version): @if-sergiy the problem only exists if the mode is set explicitly in the youtube cookie (PREF → app=desktop). By default no mode is preselected and YouTube shows different modes for side panel (mobile version) and main page. So if the mode is never set explicitly the problem does not exist and can not be reproduced. Clearing the YouTube-cookie (Settings → privacy → cookies → .youtube.com → PREF), you will lose some YT-related settings and current login state) and never explicitly set the mode might be the only viable way to avoid the problem. All (future) technical fixes (from the browser side) will break other functionality. If you switch the side panel to desktop and back to mobile mode it may take some requests (maybe referrer related) to settle all views on the new mode. thanks dude! that really help me. thanks a lot

@hstoellinger It basically makes Vivaldi unusable in MY environment!!

I like to bump that thread again is there a now a plan to disable suggestions at all or at least remove that line for default search? can i do something to start or improve progress here?

@Gwen-Dragon Thank you for your assistance. I actually fixed the problem just now! I decided to test if it worked in Vivaldi "Incognito Mode," and surprisingly it did. That got me thinking that something was set incorrectly. I went into my cookies and deleted anything with "google" in it. That fixed the issue!

@gwen-dragon Thanks!

@hawkeye116477 In this case, can be fixed. If it works on chromium, could work on vivaldi. The problems are the extensions which use specific chrome APIs and sites which use NACL (works only on chrome).
