Issues after "strict site isolation"
-
In response to the current Spectre and Meltdown security issues, I activated/enabled the "Strict site isolation" from filters in Vivaldi. (A bit in this vulnerability topic: https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/23531/strict-site-isolation-surprise)
Now I'm facing two similar problems:
- WhatsApp Web which was in my web panel does not work and it only stays in the https://www.whatsapp.com/ even when I click on the WhatsApp Web link ! (it works when I open the WhatsApp Web in a normal tab)
- I cannot log out of my twitter account and also I cannot use Google authentication to login to https://area51.stackexchange.com/ after the google popup closes.
I assume there is an issue with the session or cookies.
Any solution, suggestion or similar observations (Other than disabling the "Strict site isolation")?

@gwen-dragon But why I cannot log out of my twitter account that is opened in a tab?
-
@gwen-dragon So what do you suggest? My system is Ubuntu 16.04 (initially it was Unity but I have installed and used gnome since Nov.
My main intention is to help debug and improve Vivaldi, so I can provide any log file or details that you might find useful.

Strict site isolation
I know this does not help you in any way, & i am not trying to be glib [oh, except maybe in one place, below, teehee], but in a funny way i'm half-pleased that you noticed some changes after activating that flag. It thus infers that the flag really IS already functional in V, despite V per my thread you linked only being on c62 not c63 yet [ie, i had been wondering if maybe that flag i found was only a placeholder for future development rather than already functional now].
I don't use Twatter or Wotsup, so i have not yet noticed any adverse V behaviour since i set the flag.
Good luck.

@gwen-dragon Thanks, both were reported: VB-36160 && VB-36161

I have noticed that enabling Strict Site Isolation has broken searching via the address bar. I have reported it as a bug but in case anyone comes across this, workarounds include going to the website directly and searching from there or enable the search bar and search through there.
This bug did not happen on the Windows version of Vivaldi after enabling SSI.
It also stops the Google Hangouts extension from working, which would make sense on the basis of what SSI does. I've installed YakYak as an alternative.
From what I understand (though I may be incorrect) the next version of Chromium will enable SSI by default as a security measure against Meltdown.

I must be misunderstanding you. My SSI flag is enabled, & i can still do this:
I assume i have not understood you correctly?

@steffie - what happens if you search using DuckDuckGo?

@tgheretford This:

@steffie What I found is that putting 'd' before the search term works fine. When you don't and just write the search term into the address bar (when search in address field is enabled), it'll crash.
