Vivaldi Android battery drain
-
A recent update caused a dramatic battery drain by Vivaldi Android.
Vivaldi 7.2.3628.77 running under /e/OS 2.8 (Android 14) on Fairphone 4. In a day used 81% of battery, of that Vivaldi used 49% in 1hr15min of active screentime and 2min in background. The graph of battery charge shows dips coinciding with times I was browsing stuff on my phone.
Don't have a version control at hand but recently updated /e/OS 2.7->2.8. Vivaldi and other apps update automatically so I wasn't keeping track. Battery usage was fine before, and my average daily Vivaldi usage time did not change much. Anyone observing a similar issue? -
I see the increased battery drain as well.
If even beats YouTube consumption.
Really noticable impact to battery discharge cycle.
I am noticing that Vivaldi was constantly relaunching & reloading the tabs when reopened.
I am trying now to have it locked in memory.
If that doesn't help, I will try to close & save all the tab stacks I don't use at the moment.

Same here. Super high battery drain when I'm not even using the phone, never seen this before. It's like it's been staying active and browsing or processing something all night. I wake up and Vivaldi is by far the biggest battery consumer app, nothing comes close.
I could have Greenify always kill it after the screen goes off, but then... no more listening to YouTube with the screen off, one of the key features I've always looked for in any Android browser. I'd have to do something more complicated in Tasker.

I've tried to disable foreground/background services and it had opposite effect if anything.

@RadekPilich So far I'm not seeing this, will update if I get high battery consumption. It's matching my experience using other browsers... S24 Ultra.
