Vivaldi virus
-
I had no problem when I was running snapshots (despite missing several) but after I installed stable version of Vivaldi (since 1.0) some flashpepper constantly wants to connect to the Internet. What's with this flashpepper? Is it a virus? It connects to the Internet several times a day. Why so often? Also on some websites I get a strange message. It says "JavaScript from mhjfbmdgcfjbbpaeojofohoefgiehjai. Please wait." And there's OK button to click. What is it?

Flashpepper sounds like the Flash Player Plug-in from Chrome.
If you haven't installed Flash plug-in from adobe, then Vivaldi will use the Chrome version.
Doing a search for the code in the Javascript message gives results for the chrome pdf viewer extension
see (for example) https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=492701Also see Vivaldi - Tools/Plugins
