Why does V connects to google upon launching
-
I keep seeing Vivaldi connects to [2607:f8b0:400d:c06:0:0:0:bc] this IP which belongs to google. It happens every time I launch Vivaldi.

Strange, maybe is phishing/dangerous sites protection enabled? (I think uses google servers);
However, you can disable the IP from your firewall if you don't want that connection.
It's also in ipv6 format which is not widely used yet. -
Phishing protection is disabled in settings already!

I have Ublock, Popup Blocker (strict) and IPvFoo installed. and all the settings are unchecked.
