Specific page for start page always prepends http(s)://
-
hi everyone : )
so far, i really enjoy working with your browser /thumbsup
the only thing that currently hinders me is that the "Specific Page" text input field always prepends http(s):// because
it doesn't allow me to set dashboards provided by chrome extensions as the "Specific Page". e.g.:i like to use momentum as my start page with its URI
chrome-extension://<someSignatureHashHere>/dashboard.htmlwhen prefixed with https, this obviously does no longer work correctly : )
i can totally understand the convenience aspect but maybe you could make a check if a protocol notation is already present.
Currently i use my dashboard as web panel, which makes a decent work around, but ... well ... you state that you take start pages seriously, so i hope you might consider improving this :Dthanks in advance.
best regards!

You cant set a specific new Start page at Settings → Tabs?
Section New Tab page
(•) Startpage
[x] Controlled by extensionWorks for me with 1.10.867.48 (Stable) (64-Bit) and extension from https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/momentum/laookkfknpbbblfpciffpaejjkokdgca

As far as i understand it, setting "specific page" in Settings → Tabs only applies when opening a new tab (ctrl+t), but not when i would like to set it as the homepage.
(*) Startpage
[x] Controlled by extensionhas no noticable effect for me.also only effects a new tab, as it seems (worked after a browser restart).what i would like to achieve is:
a) have 3rd party extension as homepage (alt+home)
b) have vivaldi start page with speed dial and such as "new tab" (ctrl+t)and as far as i get it, i would have to set "Startup → Homepage → Specific Page" with the URL provided by the extension which doesn't quite work as expected because it prepends http :D. or did i miss something else?

Ah, ok i misunderstand you now.
Yes, that is a old bug. I will check the bugtracker. Please wait.

What happens if you use
vivaldi://newtab
as start page setting?

@Gwen-Dragon said in Specific page for start page always prepends http(s)://:
What happens if you use
vivaldi://newtab
as start page setting?This does work, indeed :D i would have never guessed that because it looks like a cyclic dependency.
Thank you very much, Gwen-Dragon!

@meliora I found it as a comment from a Vivaldi dev in our internal bugtracker.
