Getting warning for outdated/unsecure browser on Ebay.com
-
Changing to Google Chrome did not work. resetting to default did. all good thank you.
-
@DanZellman Probably an ebay cookie already stored the unsupported browser information before the change. Btw, now it will work
-
This is the pop up I get when visiting Ebay:
"Oh No! Update your browser today! Starting June 30, your favorite sites won’t support outdated, unsecure browsers for online shopping. Update Now."
I clicked the "Update Now" link and got a list of the "updated" browsers. Vivaldi is not included. Will we have difficulties with Ebay in the future? Will Vivaldi be included in the "updated" browser list?
Thank you. -

@BriKyKo if answering the first time in a thread, do not forget to tell browser version and OS version (both see Vivaldi menu Help → About).
The current version is: 6.1.3035.84.
Select Vivaldi menu Help → Check for Updates. -
Hi sorry.
6.1.3035.84 (Stable channel) (64-bit)
I just updated today, so it is the latest version. I did visit the Ebay site after and the popup/banner of the warning was still there. Thanks. -

@DoctorG Im in the US on Windows 11. I simply go to my home page.

@BriKyKo
Do you use any privacy extension which changes user-agent (browser) id to a older or switched version?
Which user-agent is shown in Settings → Network? -
-
@BriKyKo What is shown for you as browser's user-agent at https://www.whatismybrowser.com/detect/what-is-my-user-agent/
-
@DoctorG I went to the link and this is what showed:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/114.0.0.0 Safari/537.36

@BriKyKo said in Notice when visiting Ebay about updated browser:
Im in the US
Perhaps you get this injected hint only for residents of USA.
I do not see it from Germany. -
@BriKyKo Thais is a regular and correct user-agent.
//EDIT: Can you check Settings → Network?
Should be "Report Browser Brand" as "Google
Chrome" and not more.

Im thinking this is just a notice that will remain till June 30th. I know Vivaldi does not show up on the "updated" browser list but do you think this will matter? I will see on June 30th as I dont plan on changing browsers. I love Vivaldi too much
-
@BriKyKo Vivaldi is not shown because Ebay had not listed it.
But as Vivaldi is similar to Chromium/Chrome all should be nice after 30th of June. -
@DoctorG AAAHHHH it was set to Vivaldi. I changed it to Google. NO MORE WARNINGS!!!!
THANK YOU!!!!Sorry for the delay. The forum says I must wait 120s between postings.
-
@BriKyKo Pleased to help you

I guess you did it weeks/months ago and forgot about setting. Such can happen
-
Yes I did change it. I was going through the settings and saw it set to Google and I thought: "Wait this is Vivaldi" and so changed it to Vivaldi.
