Could you cancel the warning after download a exe?
-
That's too annoying.
-
I can not see a warning after download a exe file.
Hwo dows that look like? Where do you see such warning? Which Vivaldi version? On which URL?
-
well.I found when I canceled the checkbox “notify on completed downloads” ,the warning disapeared.
-
@ted423 I do not get any warning about a exe file, not in 2.3 Stable neither in 2.4 Snapshot.
Do you mean the Windows Notification about completed download?
-
I found it not show in english，even if the checkbox checked.
-
Certain file types cause that warning, it's a chrome/ium thing, that can't be configured, unless you hack the list of file type extensions inside the browser resources. I've made a python script to do that, so I can download prg, exe, js and py files without that annoyance.

I do not know why this happens for you, i downloaded many exe files and never saw such warning with 2.3 Stable and 2.4 Snapshot.
-
@Gwen-Dragon if I try downloading this exe installer for example
http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/#download
I get the warning "This type of file could harm your" blablablaaa.
-
@iAN-CooG I can no reproduce it, i get no warning for the exe.
-
@Gwen-Dragon well, no idea why it doesn't for you, but as you can see by yourself in the other forum thread I linked above, it's an annoyance for many people on windows, since a long time, that forced me to find an hack to solve it.
-
@Gwen-Dragon it not show when you browser display in english, I don't know why
-
@ted423 my browser has German UI.
I can see such popup f.ex. when i download a .eml file.
-
@Gwen-Dragon I think you can see it now..........
because they fix the "Bug"
-
I could not find the answer in this thread, so how to disable this warning?
-
@RasheedHolland Check this thread please https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/11827/any-way-to-disable-the-this-type-of-file-can-harm-your-computer-warning
-
OMG, so this isn't a matter of simply changing some setting? But the question remains why I don't get to see this warning in Chrome and Opera? In Edge (based on Chromium) I do get a warning.
-
@RasheedHolland No, it is not so easy.
On which URL with which Vivaldi do you get such warning?
-

I get it every time I want to download an EXE file, doesn't matter what site, and doesn't matter which Vivaldi version I'm using. This problem has always been there, and has always been an annoyance.

Really? Do you get it on https://vivaldi.com/downloads/ if you dwnload the exe?
I do not get such warning on my 2.4.1488.40 Windows 10 x64
-
Yes, I get it on that page, isn't it weird, how come you don't get it? I use Win 8.1, with Vivaldi 2.4.1488.36, 64 bit. I also don't get it in an old Chrome version, and in Opera it gives me the save as dialog box, but no warning.
