      Hello opera gx just updated their ui to new look that I don't really like. With so many negative things said about opera I think it's my last straw I want to move on. Now I'm thinking of moving to vivaldi but it seems very bugged. Firstly as of now the vivaldi website doesn't seem to work at all it's giving me "503 Service Unavailable". Secondly I want to import everything from opera gx to vivaldi but it keeps telling me to close the browser before importing. I have tried everything closing the browser, using task manager and restarting the computer but it keeps giving me the same message. I want to import everything and I'm really sad because I can't. Can someone help me?

        @mixElll Vivaldi.com is down at the moment, Sysadmins are working on it.

        Please see https://vivaldistatus.com/ for information about status of services.

        The "Close browser" during import is for the browser you are importing from (e.g. Opera, Firefox, etc.), not Vivaldi . It is not possible to access the datafiles until that browser has been shut down

          @yngve Thanks for the clarification about Vivaldi.com status.

          And yes I know that I should close opera gx. The problem is that even if I restart the whole pc and open only vivaldi it still persists. I have checked and turned opera gx from starting on startup.

            @mixElll OK; Sorry, it just sounded like you were talking about shutting down Vivaldi.

            I am not familiar with import from the "modern" Opera (I wrote some of the code for import from the Classic Opera), but maybe somebody else in the forums are?

            One thing you may want to double check is that you are importing from the correct folder. It might also be an idea to shut down any other browsers you have running, especially Edge (which AFAIK may be running all the time),

                  @mixElll AFAIK Edge can be shut down from the Windows task manager.

                    @yngve Unfortunately I tried restarting again and searching task manager for any edge processes and didn't find any. The problem still persists so I'm waiting for someone who will be able to solve it.

                      @mixElll Go into task manager's Details tab, sort by Name, and terminate any msedge.exe processes. Stupid Edge loves to stick around in the background even when closed.

                      Or try going into edge://settings/system/systemSubPage and disable:
                      Startup Boost
                      Continue running background extensions and apps when Microsoft Edge is closed

                      And you seem confused about Opera vs Edge, different browsers.
                      For Opera it's opera.exe

                        @Pathduck Did what you advised there are no edge processes in the background and I turned off "Startup Boost" and "Continue running background extensions and apps when Microsoft Edge is closed". However the issue is still there. Should I provide more data like some screenshots?

                          @mixElll Are you trying to import from Opera or Edge?

                          If Opera obviously you need to check for opera.exe processes.

                          A screenshot of the import dialog might help understand what you're doing, like this:
                          64e53e3b-041d-40a9-aeca-bce285ec0f34-image.png

                          However, I don't have Opera GX, just regular Opera.

                            @Pathduck I'm trying to import from opera gx. I tried shutting edge processes down because the other guy told me that it might be interfering with importing from opera gx. Also I'm using this site to import:

                              @mixElll Yeah, skip that, then go into File menu and Import...

                                @Pathduck It worked but there is no sign of my previous extensions and passwords. There is also only a bit of history which I don't really mind. The only thing that worked completely are the opened tabs but I really want to import passwords and extensions.

                                  @mixElll It worked for me, importing from standard Opera.

                                  I get a new folder "Imported Bookmarks":
                                  f870a9b6-db2c-4e64-8b74-a0bfd01e59c0-image.png

                                  It also imported all my passwords from Opera no problem.

                                  Again, a screenshot of your import screen might help.

                                          @mixElll Maybe import from Opera GX is broken, I don't know...

                                          Anyway, you can export your bookmarks and passwords at least from Opera and import into Vivaldi from files. The rest you'll just have to redo I guess.
