      Here is a screenshot (from Portmaster) one minute after Vivaldi start.
      All requests are repeating at 2 minutes interval.

      OS: Linux
      All extensions are disabled.
      All google services are disabled.
      No downloads pending, just a finished one in history.
      Blocking trackers and adds.

      What are Vivaldi talking to 192.168.1.199 which is an Android TV and why is using multicast?

      Why is Vivaldi connecting to google?

        This is for casting support on LAN devices. Please read:

        Why is Vivaldi connecting to google?

        It needs to check for updated Chromium components. Please read:

        Maybe that big lizard escaped and ate the server admins? :-)

          @Pathduck I know what they are, I don't know why they are here.
          I don't want any cast service and I did not authorize one.
          Also I did not authorize any direct requests from the browser to any machine in my local network.
          And all of them (including updates) every 2 minutes?
