Way to start Vivaldi with extensions disabled?

[chis1]

Vivaldi is crashing on opening.

I'd like to disable all my extensions and hope Vivaldi will open, then I can selectively test each one and find any cause for the crashing.

@chis1
Create Vivaldi shortcut > right click > properties > Target >
your installation path\Application\vivaldi.exe --disable-extensions

e.g.
C:\browser\vivaldi\Application\vivaldi.exe --disable-extensions

Great thanks. I assumed that just worked on Linux from the form, but did do it's job on Windows.

I'm having trouble starting Vivaldi as well - only background logo shows up.

When starting with disabled extensions, it launches properly....

...but...

...how do I disable extensions now so they are disabled for a regular launch?

They don't show up anywhere when running with --disable-extensions

@RadekPilich a command line option exists to start with a disable exception comma separated list:
https://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/#disable-extensions-except

But i never tested this.

I guess you need to check your Vivaldi browser profile, look into
Start cmd.exe
To list installed extensions run
dir "%LocalAppData%\Vivaldi\User Data\Default\Extensions\" /B

Note these
Step by step run
(this is an example!)
%LocalAppData%\Vivaldi\Application\vivaldi.exe --disable-extensions-except="cjpalhdlnbpafiamejdnhcphjbkeiagm"

%LocalAppData%\Vivaldi\Application\vivaldi.exe --disable-extensions-except="cjpalhdlnbpafiamejdnhcphjbkeiagm,mefgmmbdailogpfhfblcnnjfmnpnmdfa"

%LocalAppData%\Vivaldi\Application\vivaldi.exe --disable-extensions-except="cjpalhdlnbpafiamejdnhcphjbkeiagm,mefgmmbdailogpfhfblcnnjfmnpnmdfa,pkehgijcmpdhfbdbbnkijodmdjhbjlgp"

and so on
until Vivaldi does not start

@DoctorG Thanks! I see your point, but even if this worked.... the problematic extension will still be invisible in the running browser and therefore impossible to get rid of.....?

Anyways, trying this, I'm getting manifest file missing or unreadable error with every extension string I have tried.

[RadekPilich]

Oh yes, problem solved!

I've remembered I've encountered something like this before and the solution was.... wait for it.... wait for it.... keep waiting.... and then suddenly, after a few minutes, Vivaldi fully loads.

[DoctorG]

@RadekPilich Had you found the extension causing the issue/delay?

@DoctorG Thanks for the solution that worked for me

My Vivaldi 7.0.3495.15 (32-bit) started crashing on startup unless I started it with the command

start vivaldi --disable-extensions

I tried hiding the Vivaldi extensions directory,

C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Vivaldi\User Data\Default\Extensions,

by renaming it, but Vivaldi still crashed consistently a few seconds after starting. Then I discovered the subdirectory

C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Vivaldi\User Data\Default\Local Extension Settings.

After I hid this directory, Vivaldi started up without crashing. Vivaldi created a new Local Extension Settings directory (with six subdirectories; the hidden Local Extensions Settings directory contained subdirectories).

I hope my experience may be of some help to others.

[DoctorG]

@enyap Is there a reason why you use a 32bit version of Vivaldi? Special hardware?

[Catweazle]

@enyap, you know that 90% of the hardware since 20 Years support 64 bits?

[enyap]

@Catweazle
I do know that 90% of modern hardware supports 64-bit addressing. Inertia can be a powerful force.

[enyap]

@DoctorG
No special hardware. Just inertia.

@shifte Hi is there an option for all pages to be with the intensify filter or at startup is it always activated in the browser?
By the way it is also disabled when I place a video in full screen

I was going to create a topic title: "Option so that when starting the filter is always active intensify" but I guess because I'm new it won't let me

I take advantage of this topic because it is something similar that I want to do but always activate the filter

[shifte]

@vivaldisi
Hi, it’s possible.
Install Stylus and add a style below.

html {
  filter: saturate(150%) contrast(115%) !important;
}

[vivaldisi]

@shifte Thank you! Yes active on all the pages that I open It's a pity that it's not like that on videos when they are put on full screen or in picture. Hopefully new updates either of vivaldi or the extension includes the videos in full screen.
