Download via Adobe takes forever
-
In the last week, downloading pdfs from website via Vivaldi browser with Adobe extension has had a 10% success rate, i.e. 1 document in 10 downloads successfully. I copy and paste the same download link into Chrome and it immediately downloads every time.

@jknrawle No such problem here. Even a large PDF downloads in seconds.
Is this all PDF files, or only on one site? Do you have the PDF plugin enabled, or do you download PDF files to a folder?

@Pesala thanks for responding. It is more than one site and yes, I use the Adobe plug-in.

Hi, the Adobe plug-in crash for me after second download, dead bird tab crash.
You can see this if you use middle mouse click on a PDF link to open the download in a new tab.
As many Chrome extensions doesn't work in Vivaldi I fear you cant use it. The extensions developers don't test in Vivaldi but an extension should not crash Vivaldi, if you like report it to the bug tracker, I can confirm internally.For information on how to report a bug, see this URL: https://vvld.in/how-to-report-bugs
Once that is done, please share the bug number (beginning with VB-).
Add your vivaldi.net username, please.
On the form, you can add your email address. Once submitted, you'll get a confirmation. You can reply to this with any logs or further info.Cheers, mib
EDIT: Check if you got Crash Logs, you can upload them in reply of the confirmation mail of your report. -
@mib2berlin that is so cool! In all my 25+ years of struggling as a simple browser user, I have never come across a forum where I get immediate responses that demonstrate that someone has actually read and understood my issue and explain what to do in terms that I can understand! THANK YOU!
The bug number is VB-111232.
PS The bug report form forced me to provide one URL where the problem has occurred but there have been multiple URLs with the same problem. -

Thank you for the report, confirmed.
I could upload a crash log file, add some tags and a comment.
It's just a user forum, Sopranos like me are volunteer testers and can reach the bug tracker, for example.
We just like to make Vivaldi better, clean bug reports help.Cheers, mib

@jknrawle In Settings, Webpages, the PDF Plugin is from Widevine, not Adobe.

Hi again, try to start Vivaldi with the flag
--disable-extensions-http-throttling, you can do this with editing the desktop shortcut of Vivaldi and add it instead of
--disable-extensions
This help for other extensions and a quick test work for me with the Adobe PDF editor too.

@mib2berlin many thanks for taking the time to test this. I have applied your suggested solution and will give it some time to see if has cured the issue. You guys are just great! Thank you!

@Pesala thank you for pointing this out. I am going to try @mib2berlin solution first. If it doesn't work, I will try yours. Thank you so much for taking the time to look into this for me. I can't tell you how impressed I am with this forum! Best regards, Julian
