USB connection with Ledger
-
Hello,
I just wanted to report that it's impossible to connect my Ledger through Vivaldi browser with my Solflare wallet. When I follow the on-screen instruction in Solflare wallet extension or directly on website and when it says unlock your Ledger and connect I do by USB connection but Vivaldi throws an error "failed to connect to Ledger device". It has to be problem with your browser bcuz the same way works on Opera or Microsoft Edge.. Als there's problem very often on mobile trying to connect with Metamask wallet of some websites. Can you please fix this
Greetings, Mike
Edit: I tried also with Phantom wallet on Vivaldi and same problem but there is info "Please approve relevant browser permissions" but Vivaldi does not show any pop-out asking for permissions so its seems that browser has no access to USB on my PC?
-
@elMAGiko I remember some USB connection detection was fixed with Vivaldi 6.10 Snapshots, so sadly you have to wait until 6.10 will be released.
Or you try Vivaldi 6.10 Snapshot (Beta) – (what is a Snapshot) as Standalone install version, that will not tangle your Vivaldi Stable Settings in case of issues in Snapshot.
️ Please, be so kind to test the 6.10 Snapshot as Standalone and tell me if it works.
Thanks for helping us to make Vivaldi a better browser. -

@mouseshands Please report issue to Vivaldi bug tracker, include as much detail as possible.
Once that is done, share the bug number (beginning with VB-) you got by bug report mail.Thanks for helping us making Vivaldi better.
-
@DoctorG ok. I did it
-
@mouseshands Perhaps you you add the page where it fails to Settings → Privacy → Permissions → Website Permissions and HID devices + USB devices set to Allow
https://help.vivaldi.com/desktop/privacy/website-permissions/
https://help.vivaldi.com/desktop/privacy/website-permissions/#Changing_website_permissions_per_websiteI do not know if such really helps with your issue.
Could be a reopend issue of timing when tab crashes.
-
@DoctorG thanks, but dont help... the same bug..
-
@mouseshands Sad. Was only a idea.
I confirmed some bug reports internally last hour.
I hope a dev can get time to a look on the issue. -
@DoctorG thanks very much for the information. I am running MacOS and getting a "Permission Denied" error when trying to add my Ledger Flex (Solana chain tokens) to Phantom Wallet. Then it says "Grant Phantom permission to connect to your Ledger device". I researched, tried 6 or 7 different workarounds I found: adjusted settings, uninstalled/reinstalled, etc.
Then I decided to try the very basic plug-n-play process on Chrome browser and it worked smoothly on the first try. In fact, it gave me the option to add 6 chains, which required me to interact with the Ledger device and the browser - and it went smoothly.
I was pleasantly surprised at the ease of working in Chrome - and I hope that Vivaldi can find a way to improve Chromium compatibility within the crypto ecosystem. The experience of working on decentralized exchanges and crypto wallets is noticeably impaired in Vivaldi as compared to Chrome. Many of my crypto add-ons / plugins don't work properly in Vivaldi., so I have to keep Chrome open ANYWAY, which eats-up memory and space on my dock
Methinks not a good long-term strategy for Vivaldi, if we consider that 60% of people on the planet have currently or in the past owned cryptocurrencies. And the U.S. just elected the most pro-crypto President in history. If the vision is NOT to support crypto, that should be made clear so people like me don't invest hours our time into setting-up this beautiful browser that's hoping to stay relevant.
Thoughts?
-
@atulkaushal This has nothing to do with "Vivaldi does not want to support cryptocirrency", it is a broken interface to WebHID/WebUSB device and its permission settings.
-
@DoctorG much appreciated. I had read somewhere that crypto was not on the minds of the Vivaldi team. Glad to hear it's not an issue. That being said, is there anything I can do to solve this issue for now, or do you think the team will fix it in subsequent releases?
-
@atulkaushal said in USB connection with Ledger:
do you think the team will fix it in subsequent releases
I can not give a timeline for a fix.
-
@DoctorG Thanks again and Happy Holidays!
-
Please allow me to ask a question from a frustrated end-user.
What is the problem??????????
50 % of the sites I vist require me to adust the secuity settings and then most of those DONT WORK SO I HAVE TO USE CHROME.
I really want to love this browser.
But the fixes are SO slow an so inconsistent

I'm not able to reproduce your issues. Can you explain more clearly?
Have you changed the Vivaldi security settings or installed any "security" related extension?
Do you run 3rd party security on your system?
All sites open fine for me on all of my instances and various machines. No fixes needed. By working on the internal development daily version, I see that Vivaldi is repairing thirty to sixty bugs a day.
-
@atulkaushal What is your problem with Ledger device?
-
Can confirm I'm still experiencing this with 7.0.3495.29 (Stable channel) (64-bit) on Windows 11.

@kevindelaney Same issue with WebUSB and Vivaldi 7.1.3570.30/33.
I think issue is related to https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/97917/hid-devices-issue/
