@Daladdine A restart always may help. Remember the extensions in Vivaldi are still inherited from chrome so they could act slightly different. For the most part they are compatible but still this can't be guaranteed (as they're not native for Vivaldi).
Also they could confict so it's better to disable the other ones during a specific addon test.

Feedbro https://nodetics.com/feedbro/ is an extension for subscribing to RSS news. If you open this extension, the tab icon of Feedbro disappears after a short time. This only happens in Vivaldi. It does not happen in Chrome, Firefox or Edge.

The developer of Feedbro confirmed that this error can only be caused by Vivaldi.

@stardepp Wondering if it is VB-50853 related [Some extensions lose connection with chromium APIs]
//EDIT: Seems to be unrelated

VB-50853

Okay, good to know. But I don't understand what is communicated at VB-50853, as I am not an expert.

Is VB-50853 a solution guide?

[stardepp]

@Gwen-Dragon Okay, good to know.

[Hadden89]

@stardepp Not that I know. The core issue is that sometimes some addons lost the connection with chromium APIs so they can't do what are supposed to do.
But Gwen says is unrelated, and she actually know the devvy things better than me

@Hadden89

Yep, the Save in extension seems to work fine for its basic fonctions at least.
There is the "comment" feature that i can't make work, but i can't either on chrome. Haven't tried Dynamics downloads either.
So except for the invisible icon, no issues. It easily replaces "Save Image Router" for sure.

I'm actually glad i switched to this extension thanks to Vivaldi, it seems much better than the latter.

@Hadden89 Since the update to Vivaldi 3.0.1874.33 the FeedBro icon is permanently displayed

[stardepp]

Unfortunately too early, after restarting the PC, the FeedBro icon disappears again

[Hadden89]

@stardepp Is Feedbro fixed? So I remove from the list

[stardepp]

@Hadden89 No, the tab icon of Feedbro is still not displayed.

[barbudo2005]

It open for a millisecond and disappears:

I think it is a minor bug.

[Hadden89]

I don't know if the feedbro icon disappearing is reported, by the way a similar glitch happens with onetab extension.
The funnel icon rarely shows up.

[stardepp]

@Hadden89 For OneTab there is a more worthy successor:

Better one Tab:

[Hadden89]

@stardepp I tried but for some reason I still prefer the legacy addon.
Better new tab is too much "material UI design" for my tastes.

[RichardDick]

StayFocusd doesn't work. I can't change maximum time allowed.

[Hadden89]

@RichardDick If still broken, ask to the dev if the extension could work (or not) with Vivaldi on Twitter or via mail ([email protected]) then report as a bug to Vivaldi.

@Daladdine when you say Save-In works fine for its basic functions, what do you mean?

For my personal experience, I can not select a save location without a save dialog window popping up, even when disabling all backup scenarios which would normally trigger this happen. The correct folder will be selected and the file seems to rename correctly based on any rules of the plugin but it will not save to folder automatically. Is your experience the same?

It might be a bit subjective but avoiding that dialog, as much as possible, is what I would consider to be it's most core basic functionality.

@Hadden89 said in List of incompatible extensions:

CookieAutoDelete: Its popup is broken(wontfix) when Vivaldi UI is <100%.
Try Vanilla Cookie Manager instead (follow instructions or you'll lose ALL your cookies).

Could someone on Windows please test this? The issue at Github is over a year old and I'm assuming the screenshot is from Windows.

It's working for me on Linux (Ubuntu MATE 16.04.7 LTS), Vivaldi Stable 3.2.1967.47-1. Vivaldi UI permanently <100%. Cookie AutoDelete 3.5.0, the latest version. The previous versions have worked for me as well.

There is a little "flash"... The popup opens up the same size as the icon for "a millisecond" (you see it only if you expect it and stare at it), then expands to the full size. The extension is fully usable.
