      Hi, just one issue with Vivaldi. In MS Teams web app, I try to download a PDF, and when I click download, I could see the download in progress in the sidebar. Then it suddenly stops. I had to restart the download again, the issue continues.

      Finally I had to launch Brave Browser and download the selected PDF file, and that, was without any issue.

      Why did Vivaldi have an issue downloading while Brave didn't?

        Details? Was the file particularly large perhaps, or was it a slow/poor connection?

          Actually not any tool. No extensions either. But I had enabled the block trackers and ads feature in Vivaldi settings. Is that the issue?

            @Gwen-Dragon Does Avast Antivirus prevent this?

              @sgunhouse No, that file was just 2 megabytes, that's it, and the connection was stable.

                Thanks for the info. I usually ignore Avast notifications, but after this issue i just opened Avast and saw that it was asking for my permission saying "Allow Vivaldi to make any changes" (add files) to my device, After I allowed it, downloads happen without issues.
