Feeds Duplicates are a serious problem
-
I have several (going into the 10's) of feeds that have duplicates.
What debugging can I do to give back so that this issue is resolved?

sadly you can't do anything. this is a very old bug, which is already reportedThe bug don't appear, if you only delete the feeditem but don't empty the trashbin. so over time your trashbin grows and grows ️
-
@thinkeranddoer Use Shift+Delete to delete feed items permanently, bypassing the Trash.

@thinkeranddoer Are these feeds that appear duplicated when they arrive, or are they past feeds that duplicate themselves as new when you've already read them.
If it is the former, this could be a bug, so more information would be needed to debug it. e.g. what is the source of the feeds.
If it is the latter, there isn't anything vivaldi can do about this. It usually happens when a feed source makes a change, e.g. to the title of a feed item, and vivaldi is unable to re-generate the same unique ID, so it makes a duplicate item.

@LonM hi, its as they arrive. So new push RSS feeds have duplicates.
How do I help send the bug logs/reports?
-
@thinkeranddoer If there are specific feed URLs where this occurs, it may be useful to include them in a bug report at this URL: https://vivaldi.com/bugreport/
You could also try attaching logs by going here:
- Vivaldi://inspect
- Apps > Vivaldi > Inspect
- Console Tab
Then, when a new feed arrives that is duplicated, you could copy any error messages with a timestamp that appears around the time when a message was duplicated.

I don't know, if you read my first answer here, but this bug is already reported, see this thread in the rss section of this forum
--> VB-74535(third last thread within the rss forum section and mine one too)

I get lots of duplicates on multiple feeds as they arrive ... I also use Feedly with the very same feed URL's; Feedly has no such issues.
I still prefer using Vivaldi's Feed Reader, though!
Vivaldi will get this figured out in time; until then it's not much of an annoyance for me.
