@Gwen-Dragon said in How to prevent history from being recorded in Vivaldi.: A GPO may help (untested). See https://getadmx.com/?Category=VivaldiBrowser&Policy=Vivaldi.Policies.Chromium::SavingBrowserHistoryDisabled Chrome's GPOs are similar https://www.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3#SavingBrowserHistoryDisabled Again my thanks for the policy templates' links. The registry entries in both are identical for blocking history. Manually created the "Vivaldi" key in the Policies branch and merged the .reg file below. It blocks history as needed and dword:00000000 disables the block. SavingBrowserHistoryDisabled.reg Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Vivaldi] "SavingBrowserHistoryDisabled"=dword:00000001 P.S: Forgot how to mark this as solved.

Thanks for the well detailed info. I have to study this issue.

@luckyluc0902 Ah, ok. Fine. 🥳 The in tag this Resolved.

Inzwischen wird Vivaldi offiziell von Sophos unterstützt (Sophos muss nur noch die Webseite zu den unterstützten Browsern anpassen) Vielen Dank nochmal an alle beteiligte für die Zeit und den Aufwand.

@klXXdpag said in Vivaldi disregards Chrome policies: Is there anything I can set below HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Vivaldi I could set to help me? No. The local policy has to be set at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Vivaldi

Another solution. @gwen-dragon said in Allow flash permanently - preferably for an individual site.: Open Vivaldi internal flags chrome://flags/#enable-ephemeral-flash-permission Set to Disabled Restart Vivaldi

@observe luckily it is not (really) possible without breaking some other functionality and introduce system services to create history files with user access restrictions. Since Vivaldi (company) presents itself as a defender of privacy and security (see blog posts) releasing browser software with the mentioned features would undermine core values. While the deliberate private window breakage flag is likely a feature bug inherited from chrome, any active effort in this direction would make this software no longer "a browser for our friends" but more and more a helper tool for privacy invasion.
