Webpage icons

MAHESHDOCHERLA

Hi, I am a doctor and started using Vivaldi recently with some extensions. Initially everything was working fine BUT since a few days, the image icons on different webpages are NOT showing like the upper right hand profile icon on a gmail page. This happens only on some webpages and it happens even without VPN. I have not individualised any browser settings for any specific website. Sometimes the lack of visible icons makes it difficult to navigate the webpages.
What should I do?

@MAHESHDOCHERLA You mean the icons on the tabs like the blue V icon left from text?
Or doe yo mane the icons in the bookmark bar?

Can you give us links to such sites whwere the icons missing for ou?

MAHESHDOCHERLA

@DoctorG No, within the webpages. For example, if you open gmail, then there is usually an icon in the top right hand corner of the webpage to click on for your profile. That icon does not appear. Also, news webpages and sites like imdb webpages which are laden with images,
The problem happens only for some websites and on & off and for some images in the webpages. For example. when I posted this in the forum, the gmail profile icon was not showing as well as some image icons in some other websites.
But now, the gmail icons and the other websites are showing.

Hi everyone,

I had the same problem for months. I believe I found the solution by removing all privacy extensions and adblockers, restarting and adding them again (eg Privacy Badger, Qwant VIPrivacy, UBlock origin, ADblock plus etc.).
So far it's working and I can see the Icons again - so important to have visuals for faster navigation between tabs and stacks.

Cheers

Do you use simultaneously Privacy Badger, Qwant VIPrivacy, UBlock origin, ADblock plus?

lfntvv

Hi bardbudo, I use UBO and privacy badger in parallel.

@lfntvv Perhaps the Vivaldi database for favicons is corrupted. Please open profile folder C:\Users\...\AppData\Local\Vivaldi\User Data\Default\ , delete file Favicons and start Vivaldi.

If the recommendation of @DoctorG does not work try disabling Privacy Badger.

Would be good to get some feedback on this issue by @MAHESHDOCHERLA Can you please test the suggestions.

Have a nice Weekend

+1 for removing extensions to get tab icons back. I didn't have the same ones, but removing them and restarting Vivaldi restored them!
THANKS! Been struggling with this for weeks!

@lfntvv Actually, I did not do anything and corrected on its own, probably because there were atleast two updates to Vivaldi since I posted the original complaint.
And noting all your replies, I DID have ublock origin and NEVER made any changes to it.
It just rectified on its own with the updates.
