Turn off notifications *from* Vivaldi
-
I just navigated to aol.com and got a popup from you asking if I wanted to use some new email feature of yours. If I wanted that kind of information I would have asked for it. How do I turn off these annoying notifications from Vivaldi?
-
@ThaddeusReed Without knowing what the popup actually said, it is hard to tell. Was the popup asking to set AOL as a mail handler, or was ir something about Vivaldi's built-in mail client (as in, suggesting you could use the client over webmail)?
If you really want to disable all notifications, that's more likely something to do in Windows.
-
Yes, it asked about the Vivaldi mail client. How do I turn that, and all other notifications like it, off?

These Vivaldi popups are extremely annoying.

There is no setting for this in Website Permissions and I can't imagine how it could be related.
I'll try to get a screenshot of it once it bugs me yet again. -
I got it today visiting gmail.com, it's a one time notification (actually a popup box, not a windows notification) that invites you to try Vivaldi mail, there's no need to make a fuss over it

I've had to dismiss this ad twice within 20 minutes.
Please make certain this is one-time-only, and I won't have to dismiss it after every minor patch release.
Or even better, tell me what to insert into .config/vivaldi/Profile\ n/Preferences to suppress it.
I have Vivaldi on two computers. Each with 25+ Profiles. Minor patch updates are roughly monthly, or more frequent. I could be dismissing this ad 50 times a month. I had an Operamail email account 20+ years ago. I'm aware. -
@s0hughes said in how often is this Ad 'Discover Vivaldi Mail' going to appear?:

vivaldi.context_dialogs.seen.EnableMailContextDialog
set it to trueBtw, this is not an ad. An ad means they try to promote something that makes them money. This doesn't.
If you saw a dialog telling you to try Bing or Startpage that would be an ad, that would be a promotion of a partner.
This is about informing new users that Vivaldi has an email client built in.
Many new users may not know it.
And there isn't a way for Vivaldi to know you had an Operamail 20+ years ago. It is not all about you:)
Also there is no way you get this 50 times a month unless you break your Preferences file all the time:) -
I got one bugging me for syncing - popups like this appear for different features, that I'm not interested in at all, and they repeat from time to time.
Need a way to turn it off as it is yet another bit that pushes me further to switch completely to Brave
-
Just now I got a "Share Vivaldi" pop up. I understand that they want to increase the market share.
But since the early v6 days until now Vivaldi has been piling little annoyances update by update. It is death by a thousand cuts.
-
I noticed those annoying Vivaldi popups too. It is expected for Chrome or Edge but not Vivaldi. I don't want to see such popups ever. I know all the Vivaldi features and I have been following Vivaldi development since the death of Opera Presto.
-
Thanks for the reply.
I didn't edit the profiles. While I could, it's more work than dismissing the alert... assuming it's only once per profile, ever.
My estimate was based on 25 profiles(unsynced) * 2 computers, * after every Vivaldi software update.
In practice, I have not seen it since, so I'm happy about that.
Today, I even tried opening several less frequently used profiles and tried to trigger the alert. No alert.
Perhaps they thought this through better than I gave them credit for. -
I have been using Vivaldi for awhile and it is my favorite browser despite it's 'flaws' (which browser is perfect?) but I am considering dumping it.
I am tired of how software is constantly resorting to nagware to get you to pay, or to subscribe or in this case, use Vivaldi Mail.
I am not a fan of centralized mail. I prefer to keep my mail accounts separate. I use to be able to log into my Gmail account easily but now every time I try to switch to it, Vivaldi uses nagware to get me to switch to Vivaldi mail. I tried it some time back, didn't like it and stopped using it.
Does anyone know how to turn this off before I go back to Firefox or Opera?
I am. . . . annoyed.
-
@elizcarr I never noticed any nags. A vivaldi.net account is free.
I chose Vivaldi because of the built-in email client, not the webmail account, though I do have one.
Using the email client I can filter individual email accounts if I need to. I can also log in the webmail, but only do it for testing purposes.

@elizcarr
That's weird. And could you add screenshots of exactly how the “intrusive advertising” of Vivaldi's mail happens? -
Ppafflick moved this topic from Vivaldi for Windows on -
I'd be curious if it happens to you. I don't actually log into my vivaldi account. I just use it's sync capabilities to share by web browsing history and notes across my many devices. So if you sign in to vivaldi.net, this may not be a problem with you. But if you don't sign in, try going to gmail.com and see if it tries to re-direct you to vivaldi mail. It didn't use to, now it does.
