Tracking Protection Level settings not showing
-
On some website I want to allow ads to support them, but I often don't get the option to select what to allow. How do I get them back? Version 3.3.2022.45 on Windows 10.

@MoosMas That's really strange, I can't understand how that would happen.
The only places it should look like that is the internal settings pages and the speed dial.
Please read the troubleshooting guide:

@Pathduck Thanks for your reply. I basically did everything listed there. Deleted cookies and cache, restarted, tried in Guest mode, private mode, checked for updates, enabled third party cookies, deleted extensions (although I haven't made changes to my extensions in a while)... Should I file a bug report?

Sure, you could. Problem is it requires you to find the steps to reproduce the issue, and it would need to be done in a clean profile so the team can actually figure out what goes on.
"Guest mode" is basically a clean profile without any active extensions. But for a true clean test try also to launch Vivaldi with a temporary profile like this (after closing it):
vivaldi.exe --user-data-dir=%temp%\vivaldi
Or you could try to create another new profile and see if it happens there.
The clue is to find a way for others to reproduce it, and it might be tricky. Of course you're free to open a bug report anyway but chances are it will be closed with "cannot reproduce"...

@Pathduck It appears there was an error with the URL. It contained spaces, maybe thats what caused it? Removing the additional text in the URL makes it work properly.

@MoosMas That's interesting. Please give an example of such a URL.
Update: I can reproduce this now. Did you come from a Google query?
It would appear the G is once again breaking the web by using reserved characters in URLs generated by the search results.
Example:
https://www.techradar.com/news/fake-google-chrome-update-download-could-steal-all-your-data#:~:text=Businesses across the world have,Google Chrome update download pages.
https://www.urlencoder.io/learn/#:~:text=A URL is composed from," %2C "~" ).
In fact, the simple addition of a colon is enough:
https://www.techradar.com/news/fake-google-chrome-update-download-could-steal-all-your-data:
FFS Google...
https://perishablepress.com/stop-using-unsafe-characters-in-urls/
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-2.2
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percent-encoding#Percent-encoding_reserved_charactersAnd yes, please report it, even though Google are being idiots as usual, Vivaldi should still be able to handle it.
@Gwen-Dragon Could you please check if this is already reported? I would suspect it already is, otherwise I will report it.

Hi, yes Google sent me to the page. Today it happened again, caused by a URL with spaces in it. I'll be sure to report it. Thanks for your replies!
