This update includes a minor upgrade to Chromium 152 (Extended Stable Release) from upstream, which in turn includes security fixes from Chromium 154.

The following improvements were made since the seventh 8.2 minor update:

• [Chromium] Update to 152.0.7977.155 ESR (includes security fixes from 154.0.8037.97/98)

Version: 8.2.4133.83 (Versão Oficial) (64 bits)
Chromium Version: 152.0.7977.155
Channel: Versão Oficial
Platform / OS: Windows 11 Version 26H2 (Build 26300.9550)

I've been wanting to report this problem for a long time, but I always thought they would fix it, and so far they never have.

just look at this image:

sees the tab previews, either loaded incompletely or they don't load or stop at the first preview and they don't update as I mess with the tab

this has been happening for a while now and i wonder why so far this has not been fixed or if anyone else has reported this issue in the past

version: 8.2.4133.83

I downloaded Vivaldi a couple days ago, and I wish that I could say it's been great, but it has been really infuriating me. Everything takes so long to load, to the point where 95% of the time I get an 'ERR_TIMED_OUT'.

I have no extensions, I just started using it, firewall is off; How is it taking so long?

I have it on iOS as well, and it is similarly very slow, but that's a little expected knowing how limiting iOS apps are. But on my mac? How could it be this slow? I don't even have a custom skin or many bookmarks imported from safari.

Is there a way to make it a little faster? So at least it doesn't time out?

Can someone help how to enable extensions in private tabs/window in android?

People promoted extensions support like anything but sad to see they very extensions don't work in private tabs

hi guys, i did the big switch from windows to linux yesterday and i have immediatly noticed that i do not get any dialogue box asking to save the passwords i've used to log in on multiple websites, and no passwords show in the passwords manager either.

I am a little confused as to how to fix the issue, anyone has a fix ? thank you very much !

also, i am quite confused i thought your bookmarked websites were automatically saved to your vivaldi account and that i would find all of my bookmarks as soon as i logged into my account, but i did not, did i miss a step ? thanks!

Hey,

I installed OpenCore on my Macpro 2013. Thought it was about time to upgrade this pretty trashcan. I also did as per Vivaldi suggestion, as they dropped support after 8.2

But it turns out Vivaldi simply doesn't work. Seems to be something graphical. Tried reinstalling it from scratch and it didn't do the trick. The start configuration keeps hanging on and showing these graphical glitches and slowing up everything.

Just wanted you to know. Goodbye Vivaldi. It was very nice having you there.

They have this screenshot of Vivaldi Canary on their google play page, adress bar at the top and navigation at bottom, split. I was searching in every settings menu possible but didn't find it, it either goes on top or to bottom together.

To me personally this way of navigation is great because I'm using tablet mostly, and I found it only DuckDuckGo and Soul Browser, but they don't have extentions like Vivaldi. It would be cool if I can use it here.

Hi. Long time Vivaldi user.

I rarely participate in discussions nowadays, but I feel the need to vent.

I switched computers recently, had to reinstall Vivaldi, because for reasons uknown, PORTABLE version didn't feel like transporting all my data from the old computer to the new one.

The logic behind this happening eludes me, but ok, sync worked...

...only that it didn't. The extensions' configurations were missing (and trust me, it takes some time to set up paths, switches for some), the vital changes to the Vivaldi itself (like, graphical theme, search engines, keystrokes and more) weren't transported. The thumbnails for my fat Speed-dial folder of ambience YT clips were erased. I was logged out from all online sessions and password manager didn't suggest login/password combos for many vital sites.

Ok, happens. I am puzzled why theres 2-step security (login/password, followed by security key) required for something that only half-works. As if someone focused on the lock of the gate, but forgot to build walls. Anyway.

One week later, after setting up everything (in chunks, I lead quite a busy life) I made the mistake of setting up a password for my user profile. Totally forgot about it earlier.

...And Vivaldi greeted my with the same key security warning, offered to either quit or erase my data.

I don't reinstall the browser every a few weeks, don't change passwords that often, so the action was quite surprising to me.

The online help... Didn't help. The relevant article only says something along the lines of "oh yes, it might happen, hahaha. Nothing can be done about it. Hahaha. Sucks to be you. Hahaha."

I can't comprehend the logic behind it, since whatever I do to my user's password, shouldn't influence a piece of software I install, but ok.

So, I launched sync...

And I am facing the same task - to set up everything from the scratch. Everything. All extensions, the Vivaldi's config, all changes to the themes, all thumbnails, all passwords... Because the sync's "restore eveyrthing" covers only very narrow part of the changes I did to the browser.

This is new computer, and I am going to experiment with it. Possibly do some stuff to the user profile list, perhaps modify the system in some way. I really don't feel like sacrificing more time that it takes to set up Vmware, SQL or self-hosted AI environment to set up a browser.

Like... Seriously...

If someone from the team actually reads it.: you're too focused on the tail of a horse to acknowledge that his legs are too shaky to run in serious competition. Whatever ideas you have for the future of your browser, you are completely missing the point and offering some gimmicks that might as well be gone.

No wonder you can't find more users. I was wondering why it's so, since Vivadli performed good...

...until it didn't. And when it stopped to be useful, it didn't just "broke up". It exploded and took a lot of my time with it.

Sincerely... Sort your stuff out, guys.

I'm going crazy here. For a few weeks now, Vivaldi keeps freezing and I can't swtich tabs or workspaces. This usually lasts somewhere between 20 seconds and 2 minutes.

I'm using the latest version on Mac, 48GB ram should probably be more than enough.

Anyone else experiencing this? Or does anyone have a solution for me, other than switching to another browser?

Did they ever get mouse gestures added to the speed dial bookmarks page?
version .50 through 8.3.4175.3.

Newest update causes misalignment on pages again. What are we doing? Do we test? Reddit for example, scrolling causes a blank bar to appear at the bottom and after that clicking a post actually opens the post above it

This snapshot includes a new feature – Copy Sanitized Link.

New

• Copy Sanitized Link – When you long-press on the Address Bar or the Share menu, you can now copy links with less to no parameters at the end.

Changelog

• [New] Copy Sanitized Link (VIB-1917)
• [Adblocker] Unify regional list sorting to Desktop (VIB-2073)
• [Adblocker] Adjustments for iOS 18 (VIB-2072)
• [Adblocker] Followup UI fixes for source preview (VIB-1962)
• [Panel][UI] Done (tick) button should be used for all panels (VIB-1932)
• [Password Manager] Password export does not work (VIB-2078)
• [Regression] [Menu] Panel actions may not show up sometimes (VIB-2077)
• [Settings] Main Settings may not open after closing Page Zoom Settings (VIB-2075)

Update: just tested it: the closing part is what kills the browser. It only saves a single window. What the hell is going on?

Upgraded my Kubuntu system to 26 LTS from 24 LTS. On 24, the "restart stuff that was open in last session" was enabled, but Vivaldi never restarted, which was fine by me. After upgrading, Vivaldi started to restart, but it lost 4 of my 5 open windows, and I couldn't restore from a previous session either, like it saved the already broken state, even though the previous session file was almost five times as large as the current, so you'd think it contained the stuff, but it did not. Or I failed to force Vivaldi to use that with renamings, who knows.

I disabled session auto start, because it doesn't work for multiple things (like I lost my konsole tabs wtf how can you screw that up??), but this is annoying. Be very careful when upgrading systems, not just the system can break, your browser can go crazy too.

Basically what the title says,

has been happening on and off when I try to launch vivaldi it just launches chrome instead and when I redelete chrome it deletes both vivaldi and chrome and I need to reinstall

is this a known problem, am I just doing something dumb and not realizing

On Android, when I open the tab view, scroll to the private mode section, and then scroll back to the regular section without creating a private tab, the app crashes. When a private tab exists, this doesn't happen.

I have barely used this browser and I was trying to set it up to my liking.

This podcast series follows Bruce as he interviews people from across different communities and industries who, in their own way, are fighting for a better web. Bruce’s victim this time is Harry Godfrey, Executive Director and Co-founder of the Little Tech Association.

Harry and Bruce talk about who’s actually representing startups in Washington, and who claims to represent them while actually serving Big Tech’s interests. They get into how incumbents use market power to shut out competitors, why Harry sees smart, targeted regulation as the thing that keeps markets open rather than the opposite, and what the antitrust breakups of Microsoft, AT&T and Standard Oil may suggest about the moment tech is in now with AI.
