Gmail Checker extension does not work

[trevithick]

The Gmail Checker extension has worked fine for well over a year or more. Three days ago it stopped working, and I can no longer log into an Google, or any Google app via Vivaldi. I get the message that "this browser or app may not be secure.

Javascript was/is enabled, and I even checked it on the site level security settings. No joy.

@trevithick what Vivaldi version? try to update

@trevithick That's nothing to do with Javascript.

Have you unchecked Crypto Token in Settings > Privacy > Google Extensions? If so enable it, restart Vivaldi and try again.

There's been a ton of similar posts lately:

Either users are going around disabling stuff without knowing what it does, or a bug is triggering the disabling of the extension on update. I suspect the former...

I have the latest version of Vivaldi: 3.5.2115.87 (Stable channel) (64-bit)

The problem was I had unchecked the Crypto button under Google. After re-checking that setting, it is now working again.

Thank you all.
