how to disable profiles ?
-
How do I disable adding a guest and adding a person ? They remove an extension which I need, to block certain websites.
I think Google Chrome does it with BrowserAddPersonEnabled and BrowserGuestModeEnabled .
Can it be done in Vivaldi somehow? -
Have you tried...Settings>Address Bar>Profile Management
-
i need that whole Profile Management section removed. Or disabled.
Because under my current profile i have extensions which block some websites and access to extensions is also blocked so you can't disable them. But now, with profiles, a person can just jump into guest mode where all the extensions are disabled and no websites are blocked. -
Maybe this will help https://help.vivaldi.com/article/user-profiles/

no.
I need registry keys that would disable creating new profiles and using a guest mode.
I have managed to hide that Profile Management part with putting:
#browser > div.webpageview > div > div.settings-content > section > div > div:nth-child(9) { display: none !important; }
into a custom.css but i think that will need to be done after every Vivaldi update, so a registry change would be better.
Or if somebody knows how to block that settings/addressbar/ page in Leechblock, that would also work. -
@kermit2003 Switching between profiles has actually been possible in Vivaldi since the feature was added to Chromium ages ago. Vivaldi just added the Profile Switcher to the address bar (which can be disabled in settings) and simplified the Guest Window UI.
If you REALLY need to lock down what can be accessed on the Internet, you'll be more successful implementing parental controls at the network level.

So the solution to this is running the following command in CMD administrator mode:
REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Vivaldi /v BrowserGuestModeEnabled /t REG_DWORD /d 0 REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Vivaldi /v BrowserAddPersonEnabled /t REG_DWORD /d 0(ig kermit2003 figured out on himself but this may be helpful for later people finding the answer)
