Crash fixes and a security bump – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1719.3

VIVALDI.PACKED.7Z created in %temp% is ok for 7zip, it also unpacks to a 207mb vivaldi.7z which also decompresses ok as Vivaldi-bin\ directory. No idea what's wrong.
EDIT: It was Kaspersky AV interfering, I've uninstalled KAV, rebooted now the same installer worked and I'm running Vivaldi 2.9.1719.3 / Chrome 78.0.3904.94
I'll update my report VB-59806. I have to tell our sysadmin that I want to get back using AVAST at my workstation instead of KAV because after all it was less of a burden.
Kaspersky with this one, Symantec with the previous one... Do these AV people have something against Vivaldi or is there a reason they seem to block the latest Chrome... Hmm...
-
@mossman The problem is that KAV afflicts also Chrome installer, we just tried that in our office as we wanted to update all chr* browsers for the recent security hole.
-
@iAN-CooG maybe only for 32bits users. No issue with 64bits (using Kaspersky as well)
-
@mossman A/V are just man, never regretted ditching them 4 years ago, they cause more problems than solve, as it was proven again
-
@npro I wish I could live without, better keep one that doesn't interfere that much while working. Switching back to Avast, until another problem rises.
-
@iAN-CooG I don't use antivirus software.
-
@iAN-CooG Isn't Avast the one with 24/7 security pop-up ads, terrifying users on purpose and advertising VPN for maximum revenue? Last AV I have ever used was ESET that had the lowest false positives and was not hogging the OS. I would only trust Microsoft Defender for not breaking the system today, it's their OS so they 'd know better.

not if registered, never saw ads on avast myself.
-
@iAN-CooG oh right, thanks for the info.
-
@temkem Also the antivaxxers say they don't need them, and their children die at young age for some illness that could be avoided with a vaccine. I wish you all the best, I prefer to be safe

I can't install the update through "search for updates". There is an endless loading.
Same thing for me:
Windows 7 SP1 x64Also tried to exit Kaspersky Antivirus -> no luck.

I'm also having the same issue on the home PC, Win7 32bit, I have Avast here.
Trying to reach vivaldi.com to get the installer I got:Bad gateway

Same problem with me on Windows 10 with absolutely no antivirus.

Since 2.9 RC2 middle clicking on Speed Dial items to open them in the background activates the middle mouse button scroll feature (whatever that is called). Very annoying. Can anyone confirm this?
Vivaldi x64, Windows 7.
-
Update: help/update still failed but I could access the download page, downloaded the installer and now I'm running Vivaldi 2.9.1719.3 / Chrome 78.0.3904.94 also at home.
-
@Rexfahrer Not for me, I can open background tabs by middle clicking SD thumbs. Are you using some extensions that alter the mouse behaviour? Do you have so many thumbs on the SD that it has scrollbars?
