@ericole Have you been able to run Vivaldi with Sonoma yet? I have delayed updating to Sonoma.

Well, I just gave up and switched back to Safari.

@mhowie Tried just grabbing a fresh copy and installing it again?
Arm or Intel Mac?
Why Open the Web?
Despite the connecting purpose of the Web, it is not entirely open to all of its users.
When used correctly, HTML documents can be displayed across platforms and devices.
However, many devices are excluded access to Web content. -

The Mac Studios all run the latest Apple chips.
As noted earlier, I have a ton of settings (Tab Stacks, Workspaces, etc.) that need to be retained. As I can't open Vivaldi release version any longer, I can't save and the Tab Stacks and Workspaces still aren't included as options for Vivaldi account syncing.
If I uninstall/reinstall, wouldn't I lose all of my settings or are they preserved within the MacOS folder structure for instances such as what is currently impacting many?
To answer your question, I haven't yet done that for fear of losing all my longtime settings. If I'm missing something due to ignorance, please let me know!

The recently released 6.4.3160.41 Stable does not remedy this crash problem.

Assume you had an installation of Vivaldi in place when you updated MacOS to 14 (Sonoma)?
-
Yes, that's true
-
@nedhamson no

Shame Vivalid it doesn't work on Mac mini s it does work on my iPhone and iPad but I want a browser that works across all my Apple kit just as it works across all of our Windows machines, Android Phones and Tablets
I have removed Vivaldi from my iPad, iPhone and Mac mini and am using Duck Duck Go Privacy Browser for the time being.
I would love to come back to Vivaldi for the Mac when they get it sorted out.
-
Ok this is getting ridiculous. Deleted the vivaldi ios and and vivaldi browser on my mac. Moved on to Firefox and wont recommend Vivaldi anymore.
-
Uninstalled, did a fresh install of 6.4.3160.41, but it stopped working almost immediately.

I'm in the same boat. Going with Safari and Firefox on the Mac. Still using Vivaldi on the Windows machine as it still runs on that OS. Chrome on both platforms for Google hosted products (Gmail, Maps, etc.).
Doesn't seem to be much concern from the Vivaldi development community to get this fixed. Perhaps it's such a small subset of their user base that the resource required to overcome the problem doesn't make sense to allocate and it's easier to just let users migrate away.

I have been in IT for many years and am really no dummy but I tried 7 times to submit a crash report for my MAC OS 14.1 Sonoma Vivaldi opens and closes problem AND yet having filled in all the required fields I get the message
It looks like some information is missing. Please make sure all required fields are filled in.
They are all filled in. Oh Boy
-
That's quite a ridiculous situation. It is unbelievable that a bug of this level of severity is not addressed at all.

Hello everyone!
We're very sorry for this trouble and thank you for your patience.We're looking into the issue, but have had a hard time reproducing the bug.
We're wondering whether an extension might causing the issue. Do you use any extension? If you do, please share which ones, so we could test them. -
I am even more puzzled by the issue. I was able to open Vivaldi and quickly pin-it to the dock while it was bouncing. Now it works.
Nothing else changed with respect to the 1000 other times I tried to open it. 
Weird. If I have more info, I'll update this thread. -
