Screencastify
Works if you use the "Desktop" option for recording. Trying to record just a tab usually results in an error, "Failed to start recording".
Still useful! Just less convenient without tab specific recording.

The extension "Ember Inspector" was working fine (on the snapshot version) until some time ago (about two or three updates), where it stopped being able to recognise Ember apps as such*. It is still working fine on the latest Chromium.
Actually, it shows the icon indicating the Ember app, but when you tried to load the inspector, it can't find it.

Super Auto Refresh
If i wasn't lazy, i'd edit my personal log notes into a brief summary here... but i am lazy, so copy & paste it is instead:
"26/11/16: A few days ago i made a major discovery, i think, in the longterm hassle with Vivaldi getting laggier & laggier when successive updates are overlaid to the same profile, historically forcing me eventually to have to build a new clean profile [historically i must have had to do this maybe a dozen times, & it's a PAIN].
One major form this lagginess has taken is that scrolling pages, either manually with the scroll bars, or semi-automatically with the middle [wheel] button care of Extension "Autoscroll", suffers increasing frequency & duration of "pauses" before scrolling resumes. It's infuriating, & really slows browsing down.
Another major symptom is that when watching video streaming, every couple of minutes the images freeze for a few seconds, whilst the sound continues. It's annoying in general, but particularly decimates sub-titled movies. These become nonviable, as i miss key translations whilst the sound moves on, then when the pause stops the video jumps ahead to catch up again. It's hopeless.
My discovery was to speculate that possibly the SAR extension's periodic refreshes of its designated pages [which i'd set to be every couple of minutes for some of my permanent tabs], might be stealing sufficient V resources to cause these scrolling & video pauses. I tested this idea by disabling [not yet deleting] this extension. Since then, the pauses seem to have really dramatically reduced, both in frequency & duration. It's not perfect, but thus far it seems to be a BIG IMPROVEMENT.
11/1/17: UPDATE: Since my original note, for other reasons i have created a fresh profile at least once [with SAR not installed at all now]. For many many weeks now, V SS & Stable have been wonderful; the lagginess & pausing [scrolling & streaming] have GONE. Thus, SAR, hitherto a mainstay extension for all my chromium-based browsers, is clearly incompatible with Vivaldi... sadly it took me at least a year to realise this!!"

Data Saver causes the browser to force close when right-mouse clicking an image.

Shodan
It is starting to run but suddenly disappears from the bar. -
Video DownloadHelper & Xmarks
-
@urgo: XMarks, which I use all the time every day is not incompatible. It can be finicky because of our unique database structure, but as long as you only try to sync bookmarks and nothing else, start in the first place with upload from Vivaldi, not sync, it works just fine.

Re: Theme Creator et al:
Such extensions are a lame excuse for what you will be able to do in Vivaldi once we get rolling.
Vivaldi has an entire UI layer that runs in a separate process from the Chromium core, and is unrelated to Chromium - written in an entirely different set of languages. Therefore anything that will work on a Chromium UI cannot do anything, as that UI is absent in Vivaldi.
Part of the entire reason for the existence of this UI layer is to make an essentially infinite array of customizations possible, much like we used to see in OldeOpera, where one could write, install and modify "skins," which introduced wholesale changes to the UI - changing the styles, shapes, sizes, colors, transparencies and positions of basically every element of the UI. Another part of that modification scheme was the ad hoc ability in addition to the skinning scheme, to, in seconds, add, hide, or reposition everything - every toolbar, header, footer, panel, button, spacer, label, text box, etc. That is the direction Vivaldi is headed. Already, Vivaldi natively does things that the infinitely flexible OldeOpera could not - zoom the UI, modify the hue, brightness and saturation of UI colors on the fly (Opera's color scheme was quite limited as to what one could do without applying an entirely new skin), take screenshots, apply temporary page actions, etc.
I used OldeOpera as my default browser for nearly a decade, and still never really discovered some of the stuff it had, which Vivaldi also has (but more transparently so), but which I now use in Vivaldi - So when the other possible modifications are added as planned, you could literally use the browser for a lifetime and never figure out all of the things you could do with it after you once perfected it to your own needs, and fell into a comfortable routine.

Create new react project using
create-react-app, start usingnpm start.Connect to server (default
localhost:3000) using Vivaldi (1.7.735.46, MacOS). Right click on Inspect. The React tab is shown, but when you click on it it always says Connecting to React... when it should show the React render tree. -
@Ayespy This is truly impressive.

Hi everyone,
Just upgraded to 1.7.735.46 and Tampermonkey is crashing after opening 2-3 pages.
I've downgraded to 1.6.689.40 as this is working and I can use my scripts which I need at my current workplace. Using Tampermonkey 4.2.7. I've tested on snapshot version 1.8.755.3 and it still crashes
Since the only change was to upgrade to latest Vivaldi version and restart I would guess something has changed in Vivaldi or Chromium 56.0.2924.88 that is causing this.
I will wait to see if there is someone else has this issue.
