Chrome Settings vs. Vivaldi Settings

OlgaOrga

Vivaldi seem to have two different settings GUI.
Usually I am using this one vivaldi://settings/

However when entering chrome://settings I obtain a different GUI that is translated into nearly the same URL vivaldi://settings without the slash.

The "Chrome settings" seem to have some advanced functions like the privacy guide.

Why are these "chrome settings" not visible in the Vivaldi menu?
What are the differences between them?

@OlgaOrga The actual Vivaldi settings are the ones you found at vivaldi://settings whereas the chrome://settings are the ones related to the chromium core behind vivaldi. In most cases (99%) you don't have to change things in the latter; they're mostly leftovers (which don't work in vivaldi) or peculiar advanced settings which are not exposed yet in regular settings, but changing may not be a good idea without asking here, before; so I won't mess with the chromium privacy guide as it could mess vivaldi settings.

However when entering chrome://settings I obtain a different GUI that is translated into nearly the same URL vivaldi://settings without the slash.

That is a quite old & minor (and unfixed) URL UX bug: you see vivaldi:// but actually is chrome://

chrome://settings

FYI, chrome://settings is the only way to put in your credit card info if you want to have it available in the desktop browser. I don't understand why it's not in the Vivaldi settings.

After typing chrome://settings in the address bar the address changes to vivaldi://settings and chrome options are displayed but they differ (unique or more advanced) from these entered directly by vivaldi://settings. A bit confusing and both options sets might be unified if possible.

@fred8615 They add these things to the UI in batches. Soon or later will show the autofill / payments too (I hope).

@belenus is a very known old bug: they are displayed the same but go to different places, as you noticed.

How long has this been possible?
For those like me, who wanted to display cookies like the other Chromium-based browsers, this is exactly what was needed.
Now "chrome://settings/content/all" looks like it did before version 6.4.

IDK
6.5 Maybe

I just realized the "Enable Chrome Pages" setting in vivaldi://experiments is not even necessary.
Apparently, "chrome://settings/content/all" was changed since version 6.5, and I wasn't aware of it.

@AllanH

Internal Chrome Pages, were always there.
The Experiment is just to not rewrite to vivaldi:// since cause confusion to some users.

AllanH

My point is "chrome://settings/content/all" had nothing to display starting with version 6.4.
A recent change has allowed it to display cookies again.

@AllanH probably the new chromium intake. The page was broken in early 6.x build so nice now is working again.
