solved it by myself. sry for fast posting
How to fix ftp:// support (currently):

1. Go to vivaldi:flags
2. search for "ftp", enable it and restart Vivaldi

Searching for ftp in flags returns nothing.

My appeal to the Vivaldi devs: please don't drop ftp support!

Amen.

You are quoting from April 2021. Support has since been dropped completely.

FTP in browsers is a dead horse. Everything about it has already been said in this thread, there is no use discussing it any longer.

@frisket FTP was removed from core in 2021 by Chromium core devs and Vivaldi will not do add any code to get it back.
That is a fact.

Well, it is maybe noteworthy that meanwhile I have found another way to most simply use ftp links
here is an example: execute

%windir%\explorer.exe /select,ftp://ftp.rz.uni-wuerzburg.de/centos/7/atomic/x86_64/adb/adb-utils-1.1-1.el7.noarch.rpm

Using CMD or Windows Run Dialog (it pops up pressing [Win]+[R])
It will open a new explorer window, connected to the FTP, highlighting the file. You can simply copy it from there.
You can as well just copy the FTP-path in your explorer's address bar, but my version is scriptable.
It might be the start point for an extension to bring back FTP support?

Why an extension? Why not just register "open with that code" for FTP in your system? Because you have to sanitize the inputs! Otherwise someone could append && format c: to your ftp link and your system would execute it by clicking...
