Facebook notifications enforced by extension
-
Hello,
Lately when I open Vivaldi a notification from facebook pops up. I find it more than annoying especially since it's not possible to turn it off in notifications settings. It's in "allowed".
It says it's enforced by an extension. I removed all extensions and it was still there.
Any idea why is it so?

Check you have a exception to deny facebook:
Openchrome://settings/content/notifications
In section Block
Add[*.]facebook.com
Close settings page
-
I had "https://www.facebook.com:443"
I added it anyway
I can't tell if it works as notifications aren't appearing consistently
I'll know only if I'll see it not workingThanks
-
If my entry does not help, the notification comes not from the domain facebook.com, an other domain/webpage sends it to you.
-
@gwen-dragon I can confirm the Desktop Notification from Twitter and Slack are stored as
url:443

I got a notification again.
The only thing in my "allow" section is the "extension-enforced" facebook entry.
As I said I removed all extensions and it was still there.
What the heck is going on?
-
@abkaal Please give us screenshot of such notification and from the setting of Allow section in notification settings.
-
Here. Just covered contents and a picture
-
@abkaal Sorry. I cannot glean anything from that. It is, in my case, completely uninformative.
-
@abkaal Have you at some point accidentally clicked on a link to install a facebook extension while you were on facebook?
-
@Ayespy No, I did not. I have only one extension in Vivaldi's "extensions" panel that I even uninstalled just to test if it's google's analytics opt-out. Turns out it isn't
-
@abkaal That screenshot shows me you have a extension which allows Facebook to send you notifications.
-
@Gwen-Dragon Well... As I said I have no extensions installed. Or at least they don't show up in "extensions"

@Abkaal A forum colleague said:
@lonm said in Facebook sends notification while hibernating:
You could visit vivaldi://serviceworker-internals (copy and paste to address bar) to see if facebook has registered itself as a service worker.Perhaps Facebook has installed a service in background.
Check internal page:vivaldi://serviceworker-internals
-
@gwen-dragon Thanks. Unfortunately I already tried all fixes from the facebook link
I checked service workers and it was there. I unregistered it, reset Vivaldi but "allow" entry is still in the settings. So far I haven't encountered any notifications though
Would a complete Vivaldi reinstall be viable or should I keep trying to find out why it's there?

No, it does not overwrite your profile.
Easiest way is to rename your profile directory.https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/10388/refreshing-or-cleaning-your-profile

I am having the exact same issue:
From vivaldi://settings/content/notifications (the extension icon on the right cannot be interacted with):
And in the address bar tooltip when clicking on the icon:
I have no extensions allowing any notifications from Facebook.
I checked vivaldi://serviceworker-internals and Facebook was there, but I noticed no change after unregistering it.
I am not even a Facebook user but I do have a dumb account I use to ask questions to small companies whose only webpage and contact form is their Facebook account, and now I'm receiving notifications for friend suggestions all the time.
Any ideas?
[Edit] I just disabled notifications from the Facebook account: Settings/Notifications/Mobile and web, hopefully this was the issue. Vivaldi still considers that an extension is allowing notifications for Facebook though, and this is not the case.
-
That was not the solution, I still receive notifications and I still cannot disable them from vivaldi://settings/content/notifications because Facebook notifications supposedly are enforced by an extension, although I have no extension doing that. Any help would be very welcome.
