Vivaldi and the Freedom App
-
So I recently bought and installed freedom.to , a productivity app that allows you to set up blocks on your PC for apps and distracting websites.
Freedom worked fine for about a week, then simply stopped working altogether, blocking none of the sites on my list. When I talked to the support at Freedom about this , I come to find that while they cannot support the Windows version of Vivaldi, that I can use a command line to force it to work.
–force-renderer-accessibility is that command line.
The question is, WHERE do I put this command line?
UPDATE: I entered the command line recommended to me, and as it turns out Freedom works normally on Vivaldi browser until you enable website exceptions. Enabling website exceptions somehow bypasses the entire block list algorithm, making the app ineffective.

@Gwen-Dragon said in Vivaldi and the Freedom App:
"C:\Program Files\Vivaldi\Application\vivaldi.exe" --force-renderer-accessibility
Okay, so where exactly do I need to put this? If you could provide the additional steps I would be grateful.

Alright, so I think I figured out where to put this command line, except that it's telling me the file path name is incorrect.

@Gwen-Dragon Isn’t it better to just add _
--force-renderer-accessibilityto the existing shortcut (on the desktop or the taskbar)?The
_is used just to keep the space while the HTML is parsed. -
@potmeklecbohdan I just tried that and it didn't work
-
@ThePhantomInk Can you copy-paste content of the target field?

I actually fixed the command line and got the app working. The current issue is that I cannot use the "Website Exceptions" feature, because it enables a different blocking algorithm that doesn't work on Vivaldi for a reason unknown to me.
