Bookmarklet : Share the web page on Vivaldi Social

javascript:window.open("https://social.vivaldi.net/share?text="+encodeURI(document.title+" "+location.href));

Works great! Though I made a slight modification.

javascript:window.open("https://social.vivaldi.net/share?text="+encodeURI(document.title)+"&url="+location.href);

As far as I can tell, there shouldn't be a need to pass location.href through encondeURI() as well. Adding it after &url= should be enough.

@AltCode Pretty sure you should be using encodeURIComponent instead of encodeURI, and use it on both parameters separately, ie:

javascript:window.open("https://social.vivaldi.net/share?text="+encodeURIComponent(document.title)+"&url="+encodeURIComponent(location.href));

(otherwise any & in either value will cause problems)

I can confirm that the original bookmarklet code does not work on some domains. On them, it only picks the title tag and ignores the URL. I would try out the second and third code if I come across such a web page in future! (Found one https://artsandculture.google.com/play)

On related note, I have noticed that Vivaldi's Cloudflare settings do not like Hindi language in url. When I use this bookmarklet (or the share intent on my phone) on this YouTube video for instance, Vivaldi Social ends up showing a Cloudflare error. Not sure if I should create a bug report for it in a new thread.

Just noticed that it does work sometimes. Other times you get a cloudflare error. Weird behavior.

Let's see if Akismet lets this post through!

@sushubh I believe that should work now. Please let me know if it's still an issue.

It again errored out on sharing this link with title tag

It's not that big of a deal though. I can share these links manually or without title tag.

@thomasp Would it be possible to get two line spaces between title and link? Thanks!

sushubh

Got it working if someone else likes line spaces between title and url!

javascript:window.open("https://social.vivaldi.net/share?text="+encodeURIComponent(document.title)+"&url="+encodeURIComponent("\n\n"+location.href));
