You can close this topic unless someone else is interested in it. I installed Windows 7 again because I was fed up with this and other issues/bugs in Windows 10. On Windows 7 Vivaldi/Chromium is working fine as it should be.

Ich habe mich auf Deskmodder mit dem Benutzernamen: Stefan Seifried angemeldet. Habe dort gesehen, dass Du dort unter Deinem Pseudonym "GwenDragon" auch vertreten bist.

Ich würde gerne - Deinem Hinweis entsprechend - mein Problem auf dieser Seite schildern.

Kannst Du mir bitte sagen, wo genau ich meine Fragen platzieren soll, da es in der Übersicht sehr viele Rubriken und weitere Verzweigungen gibt?

Danke und einen erfolgreichen Tag für Dich!

@comfunc There are several ergonomic aspects to this process that aren't obvious at first blush.

One issue is app/website window size and aspect ratio. For example, if you are making a calendar app (or displaying a webpage of Google Calendar), the best thing is a square shaped window, of a smallish size. The square shape is for Month view, obviously, and the smaller size is because it doesn't hold that much data (unlike a document or a spreadsheet), and its more convenient if you can say, look at the email request for a meeting, whilst at the same time examining your calendar.

That's one of the reasons mobile platform apps are so cute: they can be made just the right size and shape for the job you're doing with them.

Another example is Whatsapp. If you want to type messages on your laptop using Whatsapp Web, you don't want to have a massive browser window open just for that one little job, which is probably going on concurrently with other, more heavy duty work, on the same laptop. So you want to create, on the laptop, your own version of Whatsapp web, in its own window, with a remembered size and shape commensurate with its role.

A 2nd issue is of consistency and workflow management. For example, Fastmail is a great mail provider, with their own mobile app for Android and iOS, but they don't have a Win10 or MacOS app. This means that you have to structure your workflow differently in the latter environments - you'll have to use a browser window, and possibly get your Fastmail work mixed up with a whole load of other crap you've got going on in that browser.

A 3rd issue, I touched on before, is of identity management. Suppose you are at work and you use Firefox for work browsing and Gmail for work email. But suppose you also want to organise a group football trip in your lunchbreak. If you browse to gmail, it will pick up your work identity. Sure, you can swap, but you may accidentally send a private email from your work identity, if you forget. Then you want to buy your group train tickets. If you go to TheTrainline.com it will automatically use your work identity if you've already logged in there to buy a work ticket. You can get around this issue problem by using one browser for work stuff and another browser for private stuff. But its even better if you have the ability to encapsulate a particular function in a browser session with an encoded URL. In that case, you can create a desktop app/tile called 'PrivateMail', or 'FootballTrips', and by clicking on that you know for sure you are going to be in the right place, with the right identity.

Anyway, so this suggestion may seem a bit abstract and inconsequential, but actually its ramifications are very great.

@dominicw2 I don't like the way that Firefox removes the background colour. Its icon looks out of place with most of my other icons. Opera and Vivaldi Stable icons are fine at the small size, but not when set to Medium.

@novaviper Unfortunately, turning extensions off may not be enough.
As a test, rename your Vivaldi Default folder and see if it still crashes for you with a fresh profile (you can always rename back after testing)
see https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/10388/refreshing-or-cleaning-your-profile

The problem continued this morning so I rebooted, opened TM found no Vivaldi in running processes. Opened Vivaldi then exited, waited a minute or two, opened TM and 2 Vivaldi running in processes. Ended those processes (luckily it worked for me), closed TM and opened Vivaldi again...then exited, checked and both were back. I opened Chrome, to see if something similar was happening with that browser, then exited, checked and no Chrome in processes. BUT...very odd....the next time I opened Vivaldi and exited, then checked Task Manager, all instances of Vivaldi in running processes were gone and things appear normal in that regard. Now just need to check it with my research site to see if notes and changes will be applied in this snapshot.

@Ayespy Two days later so far after trying your initial advice, 5 reboots later and I'm having no problems with opening the browser.

Perhaps it was just a bookmarks issue. Given how I have over 36k bookmarks, maybe I had some corruption after using the import feature incorrectly?

Either way, will update in a few days, if nothing interesting happens.

In another thread there was a pretty nice workaround that even skips the part where you do some weird windows-magic ^^ to get your vivaldi window back on screen.

1.) Go to vivaldi://about copy the "Profile Path" (It should look like this but can vary when you have standalone C:\Users[your user name]\AppData\Local\Vivaldi\User Data\Default)

2.) Close Vivaldi --> go to said directory and search for a "Preferences" file --> open it with a text editor (e.g. notepad)

3.) Press "Ctrl +F" and search for the term vivaldi_window_1 the first hit should look like this:
"vivaldi_window_1":{"h":999,"screen_bounds_h":1040,"screen_bounds_w":1920,"screen_bounds_x":0,"screen_bounds_y":0,

4.) Now make sure that the values for X and Y (I coloured them red in the example in 3.) above) are set to 0. This pins your vivaldi window with its upper left corner into the upper left corner of your screen.

@rubenszanatta You're welcome - I'm glad that his indeed resolved he issue for you. ^^

@elektriknathan There is a new Snapshot in which the bug has been fixed.

[Regression] Twitter web notifications do not work (VB-26048)

Can you try that out and confirm whether it works for you?

Disclaimer: Don't update your current Vivaldi! Install new instance as "standalone", so that it doesn't interfere with your current installation. You can easily get rid of it later by removing the folder where it was installed.

Just as an update. This got resolved for me with the 1.8 release of Vivaldi.
