Links go to vivaldi welcome page

Powluu

I've just installed vivaldi and set it to the default browser. I was working as usual and getting to grips with the browser just fine.

At some point I received a link through an external app from a co-worker and when I tried to open it directly it opens vivaldi://welcome/ page. I have no idea why this is happening. I also tried to open google.com from a link on a notepad and the effect is the same. Other than that it is working normally...

This issue makes the browser somewhat unusable since I'm constantly opening links from external apps.

@Powluu Hello and Welcome to the Vivaldi Community

Have you tried to close the Welcome page or completing it?

Powluu

@Pathduck Yes, I setup as web browser and then i'm redirected to vivaldi.com/getstarted

@Powluu It should only show once per install.

Controlled by Extension

Why is this? Have you tried disabling this extension?

I don't know why this happens, only reason could be that extension you have installed.

If you're a new user, so you have nothing set up anyway, you could nuke your install by deleting the whole User Data folder while browser is closed and relaunch it. This will show Welcome Page again, just complete it and close the tab.

@Pathduck I use the "Momentum" extension, it's an extension that changes the "new tab", adding some features like random images, quotes and stuff like that.

I somehow got it working, don't really know why but I changed the language and restarted and it started working.

Thank you for your time

Restarting the Vivaldi solve the problem.
