Vivaldi shows old (cached) version of pages when going back
-
This is a problem that I frequently have with Vivaldi. I browse various pages, and at some point I go back to a page, and suddenly it's showing me a random old version of the page. It's not even how it was the last time I visited it, but like it was a few times before that. If I refresh the page, then it shows me the latest version.
It's quite random but I see it quite often on GitHub for example as well as Reddit. Any idea what might be the problem? Is that a known issue?

Anyone? I've also noticed it happens on Android so I guess I'm not the only one with the issue?

Try clearing the cache for those sites.

It can happen on any site really so unless I clear the cache all the time, that's not a great solution.
Today I've opened a page on Dockerhub that I visit from time to time and it randomly displayed a page from a month ago. Went back to normal after refreshing but that's a bit ridiculous. Why is Vivaldi's cache so broken on both desktop and mobile?

@laurent22 this happens to me often, too, but almost entirely on mobile.
Example, I read a news site about 15 minutes ago. I moved to another room and refreshed and I was shown the page from 4 weeks ago. This might be expected... If I had not just visited the side 15 minutes before.
I was viewing a news aggregation site that has only one page, so it's not a question of me mistaking which page I had just loaded.
I recently experienced the same thing on Vivaldi on PC.
This only happens when Vivaldi thinks I am offline.
The offline cache behavior is just broken.
