Vivaldi browser incompatible with chrome?
-
@rojaviv Vivaldi doesn't even ask you to install any extension.
What you should really do is, if you're an user of their site, to write to badly written sites maintainers telling them that Vivaldi is valid and they should fix their user agent sniffing, if not removing it for good, which would be better in any site. A warning should be enough, blocking actively unknown (to them) browsers is totally stupid.
BTW Vivaldi already has a built in User agent changer, in Dev Tools, but that is active only when Dev Tools are used. -

@peefy Same result here.
I changed my ua via the dev options - set network conditions. Then confirmed ua string on browserleaks.com ip page.
It made no difference on meet.google.com.
So, they may have a more elaborate browser checking mechanism.My 2c:
This has nothing to do with Vivaldi. It does not work for Firefox either. They are forcing you to use Chrome. V just forks the Chromium engine. Chrome undergoes a lot of customizations after that. There is only so much V can emulate Chrome on. -
Old school here, no extension. Spoofing via command line. It always works.

@slake Do it. Much better than installing extensions for this and for that.

@lamarca Thanks, indeed it worked! Took me awhile, though. The syntax for that switch I had forgotten ;).
-
@slake My pleasure.
What's is your platform? -
@lamarca I am on debian 9.x at the moment, but have manjaro and win10 also. All on same disk on desktop pc.

My distro is based on Debian 9.4.
