Favicons not displayed for child tabs
-
@Pathduck The variability is fascinating. For example, with uBO there's definitely a TheWeek and Yahoo and ESPN problem (and NYT, which you saw).
It's probably just the exact filters selected, along with some variability between built-in blocker vs uBO vs any other one.
The slow/late part is interesting, too, since even when the icon is ultimately displayed it seems like many lag more now than I recall. Though that just may be because I'm paying attention now. But I wonder if they loaded earlier before, instead of at the very end as they seem to now, and whether that's related to the overall problem.
Thanks, I'll use those guidelines and see what I can find.

here is another url to test with
delfi.ee -
And another: anandtech.com
That's another, like espn.com, where the child page doesn't quite finish loading until you click "X," at which point the the favicon shows. Finding an exception for that style of the problem has eluded me.
However, I found a fix for theweek.com:
@@||dianomi.com^$domain=theweek.com

still unfixed on stable 3.4 version.
oh well.. -
@Pathduck Did they ever respond to your report beyond the one time?
I hope they understand that it's sometimes a result of the child page not finishing loading in the sense that the progress bar never goes away until you hit ESC, at which point it "finishes" doing whatever it's doing, even though the page looks completely loaded (except for the favicon).

@rseiler Hi, yeah I got one response, but it was only to ask for more URLs where it happens. I gave a list of the ones mentioned here, even if it doesn't happen for me on all of them. I never actually got a confirmation that they've reproduced it on their side.
Issue might be complex and subtly different on different systems, depending on what lists are used and so on.
Maybe @Gwen-Dragon could check the Jira status for VB-72001, please?

I, too, would appreciate if someone would check the master bug for this issue, which is about more than a favicon (i.e. it also relates to a problem with site loading). We're getting close to crunch time for 3.5.

Yes, I would also like to know when this problem will be fixed, it's so annoying! And it still happens in the Vivaldi 3.5 snapshot version. It's clearly related to ad-blocking, because it's triggered by uBlock, Ghostery, AdBlock Plus and Vivaldi's own built-in ad-blocker. If this won't be fixed in Vivaldi 3.5, then let us know, because I will then simply reinstall Vivaldi 3.2.

Just migrated from Chrome and I'm experiencing the same problem. -
This appears to be fixed (though not mentioned in the release notes as far as I can see) in the first test build based on Chromium 87.
-
@rseiler I think you might be right
Will be intersting to see if that also solves the crashes on Yahoo News that I suspected was linked.
-
@Pathduck Funny you mention Yahoo, because it seems fixed here.
What is your thinking on the relation? It never occurred to me that they were, but this is all very strange and anything is possible.
-
@rseiler Pure speculation of course, but both crashes and missing icons seemed to be related to enabling EasyPrivacy for the blocker.

@Gwen-Dragon I have Dev as Standalone. Is that important somehow?
