Video-DownloadHelper blocking Vivaldi and Vivaldi from closing
-
I just update my extensions and allowed the additional permissions in both Vivaldi browsers and when I go to exit either browser the browser either doesn't close or closes to a blank browser screen without any tabs, not even the default tabs. I disable VDH and the issue disappears.
VDH version 9.0.1.18 (stable)
Vivaldi 6.7.3329.35 (Stable channel) stable (64-bit)
Vivaldi Snapshot 6.8.3358.3 (Official Build) snapshot (64-bit)
Running on Garuda Linux (Arch based) - updated as of 4 hours agoAddon & CoApp version and details
Companion App installed (v2.0.19)https://github.com/aclap-dev/video-downloadhelper/discussions/616
I have also tested in Opera, Chrome, and Microsoft Edge and none of them have the issue.

HI, I would try to check if "Background apps" is enabled in chrome://settings/system
Some Chrome extensions simply not work in Vivaldi but it should not freeze or crash Vivaldi.
You could report it the bug tracker.Cheers, mib

That setting wouldhave nothing to do with the issue, plus I always disable it.
I decided to launch Vivaldi and exit it by the regular close instead of using Close All & Clean and it closed without issue. If I disable VDH and click Close All & Clean's icon Vivaldi closes without issue.

I am sorry but what is "Close All & Clean"? -

but when you mouse over the extension button it says Close All & Clean.

Oh my, one Chrome extension interact with another one.
I have no idea how to help here, sorry. -
This seems to have fixed itself. Closing with Close & Clean now actually fully exits the browser once again.

You know I would actually like to think the Vivaldi devs for all the hep they gave on this, NOT!!!!!!

This is a user forum, the developer don't read here usually.
In my opinion, it is not the job of the Vivaldi developers to repair broken Chrome extensions. -

You and I both know that this could of been something with Vivaldi and not the extensions. Now as for the devs we both know they are on here constantly, and have addressed more issues on here than either one of us can count. It takes alot of never to delibrately BS someone and think you'll get away with it. Do not bother to reply cause you have already been BLOCKED.

Close All & Clean
Very old (2018), perhaps missing a function/interface to close Vivaldi panels and tabs.
Do you see any crashdumps from time of issue in folder~/.config/vivaldi/Crash\ Reports/pending?
If yes, please report the crashdump to Vivaldi bug tracker. -

As I said he was rude for no reason and got what he asked for.

@CummingCowGirl No crashdumps found? No bug report? Nothing can be fixed by dev team and nothing tested by tester team without a report.
