@ayespy
Hey, thanks for the explanation. Do you know other options or workarounds in order to get Vivaldi bookmarks synced with other browsers without messing things up? -
@sanon The workaround I have used is to store everything on the Bookmarks Bar, and structure my folders and "first layer" bookmarks in a manner that provides easy access without using up all the space.
I have a single top-level folder in Vivaldi, named "speed dial." I use that as my Speed Dial/Start Page folder, and have also assigned it to be displayed on the Bookmarks Bar. All of my daily-use bookmarks and folders fit into a little over half the length of the Bookmarks Bar. At the far left of the bar is a single folder with every other folder and bookmark that I don't want on the bar, and it acts just like a dropdown bookmarks menu. Click on it, access my entire bookmark folder structure of more than a thousand "other" bookmarks. XMarks for some reason has no problem syncing this structure with any and every other browser.
-
@ayespy Just to confirm... On your bookmarks manager, you have only one folder at top-level which is "speed dial" that acts as your speed dial and at the same time as your toolbar folder. Every other bookmark folder (and bookmark) is in that folder. (So what you see on your toolbar is the same as what you see on your start-page/speed-dial.) And Xmarks has no problem syncing this hierarchy across all other browsers.
Do you remember which one of the Xmarks's 4 sync options on its setup wizard you chose during your first installation? The first 2 options that are about merging local and server bookmarks made my Vivaldi freeze.
-
@sanon You have that right. I (when I was using it) synced by having XMarks server content replaced by what was in my primary instance of Vivaldi first, and then by having my browser content replaced by what was on the server in every subsequent instance, before switching each instance to bi-directional sync after it had received all server content.
This is not a universal solution if the target browser cannot accommodate hierarchical folders on the bookmarks bar.
Also, it might not populate Speed Dial in other browsers, as Vivaldi is the only browser that treats Speed Dial as just another bookmark folder.
-
@ayespy Thank you very much for your help. I am gonna try to implement this as it looks like the only solution right now.

Just for the record:
on Snapshot 1.14.1047.3 (and some before) on Mac the "SimpleExtManager" 1.4.7 works just fine. Popup works and is usable.
-
I checked React developer tools works on 1.14.1077.37 (Official) (64-bit) with macOS now.
Thanks for vivaldi team! -
Some extensions, although generally work well, cause problems in certain pages
The last example is the extension of DuckDuckGo privacy, in case a good and efficient extension, at least for those who do not use GMail, since this with this extension prevents opening it.
I use a lot of extensions (19), that all work, but sometimes they prevent the operation in certain pages and therefore I usually replace them with others.
Others stop working correctly in the current version of Vivaldi (Dark Reader)
I think that in this list it is also convenient to include not only extensions that are incompatible, but also those that can cause conflicts in certain sites used by some users. -
Not sure if this is the place to report broken extensions.
1.14 stable broke the Fair (Stands) ad blocker. It works sometimes now; before it was perfect.
Also Long Press, New Tab continues to be crippled.
Both work correctly in Slimjet.
-
@paul1149 Could be useful knowing on which chromium version slimjet is.
Vivaldi 1.14 is on chr64; Sometimes chromium bumps could break extensions. -
This post is deleted! -
F.B.(FluffBusting)Purity may occur graphical problems with the modified interface in vivaldi in some cases, when the sidebar shows glitches appearing parts "corrupted" and distorted.
-
Scroll To Top extension crashes Vivaldi every time you enter options and change any of them. Happens since 1.16.1246.7.
-
I'd like to put in a good word for Long Press New Tab. This is a very useful tool I use all the time. By pressing and holding links with various mouse buttons, they will open in a new background or foreground tab.
While the middle and right buttons work fine in Vivaldi, the left button, which is the most natural to use, does not. Currently, it is opening a double new tab. That's better than its previous behavior, but still makes for clutter and more work.
It would be great to see this extension full supported..
-
Probably not a great surprise, but in case anyone is playing with Google Tasts, after the launch of the new app, the Google Tasks (by Google) extension doesn't authorise:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-tasks-by-google/dmglolhoplikcoamfgjgammjbgchgjdd
Works in Chrome 68.0.3440.106 (64 bit).
-
I think none of the google's extensions work like:-
- Keep App
- Keep Extension
- Office Editing for Docs, Sheets & Slides
- Google Docs Offline
- and probably many/every other "google's" extension.
from 2.3.1440.48 (Stable channel)
-
Windows 10, 2.6.1566.44 (Stable channel) (64-bit).
React Developer Tools works if devtools are docked, crashes the browser (when you open devtools) if undocked.
The developers are aware, but Vivaldi is not in their supported list. PRs accepted though.
-
@yashpalgoyal1304 I've got the same problem. Since I've started using Vivaldi, I would love to be able to not use anymore google chrome at all. I was about to have migrated completely from chrome to vivaldi, but the fact that google docs offline extensions don't work correctly on vivaldi held me back...
I would love the "google's" extension to be able to work !! -
User-Agent Switcher 2.0.0.4
Does not work with current Vivaldi. It will not save any altered entries.G.lux 3.1.2
Supposed to change the shade of colour on web pages, but does nothing with Vivaldi. -
@lc35 Google is evil, and thats why I think they purposefully made their extensions to not work on Vivaldi.
Just guessing though, but still, if they can break Youtube site on Microsoft Edge Browser just to get an edge over lagging battery performance of chrome... they can do anything.
