"Suggested" bookmarks get duplicated
-
I've been using Vivaldi for some time now, a bit less than two years. I have recently updated to 2.5 (32-bit) and I keep having to delete some folders in my bookmarks that I have never created myself.
I didn't have them before migrating to 2.5 (from the previous latest 2.4 release) and right before starting this topic, I realized that the bookmarks (for instance, folders Entertainment, Lifestyle, Local, Games, Sports and Travel) keep reappearing, even though I've already removed them from this instance of Vivaldi at home and from the other installation on my work computer. I understand that sync may have somehow ruined my deletion of those folders and bookmarks on both computers since both are synchronizing to the same account, but why are these bookmarks reappearing again and again? This is probably the fourth time in less than a week that I'm deleting them. I've even got a second Speed Dial folder that I didn't create
Could we get an opt-in option in the settings for these suggested bookmarks? Thanks.

@VoodooPriest Hello there,
Once you delete the
deunwanted bookmarks and clean the Trash, Sync was not designed to bring all the back.
The dev's are working to fix the issue.Edited: Typo

Wrong... I do that procedure every time (Win, Mac and Linux) and every time the (unwanted) bookmarks reappear. I'm thinking to wait for version 26, I like Vivaldi A LOT, but of course there are days I can't lose minutes deleting the bookmarks, even knowing that those bookmarks will reappear in another machine... -
Is this not a duplicate of "Suggested" bookmarks get duplicated?

@gerinho That info is outdated, the Sync Dev is working to fix the bug, not confirm by the time I replied you.
Anyway, according to Team, the fix is on the way. -
@greybeard Yes! There are many thread about the issue.
-
@greybeard Yes, you are right, it's a duplicate of that thread. I should have searched, or searched harder, before posting.
I dealt with this issue with two actions:
- I reorganized my professional and personal bookmarks under two root folders, which makes it easy to spot the arrival of suggested bookmarks as I have only 4 top-level folders, i.e. Personal, Professional, Speed Dial and Trash.
- I have installed the "Bookmarks clean up" extension to deal with the other duplications that used to show up from time to time for no good reason as far as I could tell.

@VoodooPriest Do not beat yourself up over it. Even with the advanced search settings available in Vivaldi I still find it sometimes difficult to find what I am looking for through a forum search.
This just happened to be both fresh in my mind at the time and I 6happened to catch the post first thing.

@greybeard does it happen continuously or randomly?
-
@lamarca Seems to be random. Possibly the latest duplicates are being overwritten? (grasping at straws...)
