List of webs that do not accept Vivaldi
-
@ian-coog I know, I already told them weeks ago but no luck yet.
-
@catweazle Perhaps the 1st post should also include a guide on how to switch the UA in order to verify that this is really the problem? (using Developer tools and/or extension)?

Those who have enough knowledge can configure it in Developer tools, which has already been explained in several forum posts, but most users will use a UA switcher for more convenience, like this one.
But I still think that the websites that use the UA sniffing discriminatory do not deserve any confidence, because for me it is a direct disdain to the user -
Best solution for this thread would be something like the "prototype" of the feature requests (before categorization):
Help:
Why sites say V is not supported;
How to spoof user agents (devtools or store way);Replies:
One reply = site link and issues shown. (Will work with user agent spoof?)
Off topics removed.Or even a gdrive sheet file like the one for extensions is fine.
But keeping it in forum seems a cleanest solution. -

1] Vivaldi is not supported. Don't click on green buttons.2] Reload page with spoofed User Agent (Chrome or Firefox should work).
3] Scroll to the bottom of the page.
4] There are a lot of the supported browser.
Fun fact: it supports chromium and even exist in Tampermonkey script form: both ways works and are supported by V.

Vivaldi is not supported - it redirects to https://teams.microsoft.com/_#/unsupportedBrowser which says:
Hmm. Your browser version isn't supported. Quickest solution? Download the desktop app.
It'll take longer, but here are the supported browsers.
Microsoft Edge - Learn more
Google Chrome - Install for free
Mozilla Firefox - Install for freeAfter spoofing User-Agent to recent Chrome, it works flawlessly.

Google sites only admit the classic style, not the new one
For me Google Websites are working just fine, with the new styles set by default.

When I tried to enter that website, it just redirected me to Outlook, working fine for me (no User-Agent tweaks made).

Yes, I can open new format in Google Sites without problems, but not edit it without UA switcher

Yet another: https://www.acleddata.com/dashboard/
From the site:
"We've noticed that you're using an unsupported browser. The dashboard is best viewed with the latest version of Chrome, Safari or Internet Explorer/Edge."Hrmph
have we a database of these sites yet?
I will inform them I am primarily a Vivaldi user and would like to be able to use the site. -

As always there are only two options, to suggest to the owner of that site to look for another webmaster, that he is capable of more than poking his nose, or use a UAswitcher (or both) -
@catweazle I have just had a reply from the admin at https://www.acleddata.com/.
He/She says that the message was outdated and has now been removed for the more modern browsers although really antiquated browsers may still receive some similar message.
[EDIT] Corrected spelling Doh! -
The browser sniffing used by web pages must be used only for statistical purposes, but never in a discriminatory manner.
What they can not do is block a user's access, just because you use a browser that is not in a list, they can very well put a notification that the browser is unknown and that the user may eventually experience compatibility problems, but never block the access, this, in my opinion, subtracts a lot of reliability from this page. -
@catweazle That's what I said a while ago
@tbgbe said in Microsoft Teams (free) not compatible:Why not just give a message -
We haven't tested with the browser you are using and will not support you if there is a problem - do you wish to continue anyway? -
Ubiquiti Unifi Cloud Controller website.
Uses WebRTC connections, and says it will only work with Chrome or Firefox. Using either of those browsers opens up the controller correctly, using Vivaldi just gives a 'server IP address could not be reached' error.
Presumably Vivaldi being based on Chromium it should still work, unless there's some sort of Chrome specific thing preventing this. -
https://steamcommunity.com/chat/ says it's not compatible with Vivaldi when trying to make a vocal chat. But is totally arbitrary and a lie. Faking the user agent to Chrome for Windows and the vocal chat works without any problem.
-
@wiiwiimeow Tried to fake user agent with chrome o firefox ?
Actually, Vivaldi has a setting to prevent RTC IP broadcast when off, so check if it is enabled in settings: gear icon > privacy > webRTC IP Handling.
Even ublock origin/nano defender have the same option. -
Works in Firefox, not in Opera 57 or Vivaldi (your browser is not supported)
-
I almost want to spread on social networks lists with webs browser racists. But I do not know if this will have legal consequences.
-
@Catweazle That is ridiculous to compare this with racism. Technology changes rapidly, browser developers and website developers cannot even hope to keep in step. The BBC even provides a warning:
Experimental idea, some things might break!

Provides a warnig, but alo block the access.
I believe that the only reason for browser sniffing is to statistics, never to veto access to a user.
With a browser, only two things can happen, either the page works or it does not work (old IE in a Html5 page, for example and nobody block the access to IE for this).
The use of discriminatory browser sniffing in my opinion is meaningless, at least if it is based on the receipt of money to hinder the use of an uncomfortable competitor.
As I said in the thread of 4 years, I have used throughout my internet use practically all existing browsers, even the most exotic and NEVER a page has blocked access, this only happened to me with Vivaldi, with no other.
You are right, it is not racism, because it is not based on an ideology, but to the effect it is equally evil.
