Master Password Protected Mode to Protect your Profile

Tag me as another who would like to see all data, passwords, etc. AND bookmarks disappear when I log out of Vivaldi. I don't want to use Chrome anymore but it's the only browser that hides everything until you log in.
Still no solution to set master password in VIVALDI ???? its enoying. I am using this browser at work and at home and wanna lock it

Still no
But Chrome isn't the only browser that does this. I distinctly remember Firefox having this feature too, if that helps you.

Hi all! I just switched from Edge+Thunderbird to Vivaldi and am loving it so far. BUT! I need a master password to protect my profile!

@idlewild This is a very old feature request with close to 200 upvotes, making it the fifth most popular feature request. However, there is no ETA, so I recommend finding another method of protecting your privacy on a shared computer.
I have my own way of protecting my data: I install Vivaldi on a VeraCrypt drive, so that it should be safe even if someone steals my PC and can bypass the user account password.
Not only your browsing data, but many other documents on your PC may need to be hidden from your children, or from co-workers.

A huge security flaw... Especially browser contain all the passwords

So I guess I never will be...Yes, the feature request i found in bug tracker was closed, they will not add it. May be consume too much human power and time for small team or something lese. I do not know.
May be chat with a dev explains:Passwords are encrypted using an OS-login-specific encryption key, only usable when you have logged into the OS.
Anyone with physical access to the login session, or is able to install malware on your computer would be able to work around such extra passwords. -
Chrome does not have a real profile protection either. Everyone with basic computer skills or at least users with admin rights can read out a huge amount of data out of the user profile folder (History, bookmarks, extension data).
I have the feeling that both the Chrome and the Vivaldi developers don't want to have the hassle to deal with all those hackers who would love to try to reverse the protection.
Veracrypt, at least on Windows, etc. is no solution as one cannot install it without admin rights (which I don't have and would not get at work).
So the only solution would be a portable install and then kill the sensible data in "User data" every time you leave your PC (or disconnect your profile and re-connect it every time).
Sad but true...
