@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.

@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!!

Against, generally. I think it is quite a nuisance that anything typed in the address bar should be interpreted as anything else than an address or a shortcut. A shortcut might be a bookmark or a search engine shortcut. Anyone with only half a mind about privacy would probably not want the browser to send arbitrary address bar input to whatever search engine is registered as default. If searching directly is needed and the one to three letters for the search engine shortcut is too much hassle to type, I'd suggest the (aptly named) search bar, which is quite exactly what I understand phil056 is talking about. Mind you, this is called search bar. For those who absolutely cannot afford the additional space to show the search bar (hint: maybe try showing the search bar and hide the address bar?) there might be an option do enable "searching from address bar" in the settings already, which enables searching for whatever is entered into the address bar... Anyway, please do not make searching from address bar default (or is it?) - for privacy reasons (only send input to search engine if explicitly instructed by using a shortcut) and for networking reasons - Opera handled local hostnames quite fine... (PS: sending typed into to whatever search enging for getting suggestions is quite identical to sending input for a direct search, so my arguments apply just as well. Enter (e.g.) "g blabla" to get Google suggestions...)

@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).
