My phone has recently begun to consume a large amount of battery while dormant. Even in airplane mode. Based on the statistics of different apps battery use it seems Vivaldi is the cause. How can I troubleshoot this? I know I could disallow background use, now I have optimize. But I'm not sure how that would affect its usability. I've cleared the cache but not tried any other remedies. Please include seemingly obvious solutions too. I might not be aware of them.

App version 8.2.4147.157

I'm using a fairphone with Murena /e/os. It runs android apps.

Is there a way to get a list of current workspaces (as well as otherwise interact with them) from outside the browser?

My use case is e.g. switching to a workspace from Raycast or Alfred or having an external agent inspect or interact with workspaces themselves.

I looked through the Vivaldi AppleScript dictionary but everything there seems to be coming from Chromium and, of course, workspaces are a Vivaldi thing.

There is a Vivaldi extension for Raycast but it doesn't seem to be able to interact with workspaces, possibly due to there not being a way to do this currently?

I did a post some time ago (here) asking about how to make Ecosia start page the Vivaldi start page. I've managed to make it by making it the homepage and enabling the homepage option on the image above. Something that is bothering me is that the Controlled by Extension is not possible to enable. I did follow the troubleshooting steps, uninstalled and installed the browser, but it did not work.

Anyone who can give me help on this?

I'm using the version 8.2.4133.87 (Official Build) (64-bit)

This update includes a minor upgrade to Chromium 152 (Extended Stable Release) from upstream, which in turn includes security fixes from Chromium 155.

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

• [Chromium] Update to 152.0.7977.169 ESR (includes security fixes from 155.0.8059.79/80)
• [Linux][Themes] Does not follow the light/dark OS color scheme on some systems (VB-132143)

Updated my Vivaldi browser to the lastest and greatest(8.2.4133.87 (Official Build) (64-bit), and was disappointed that it still doesn't support JPEG XL. Is this something in the works? Tired of shitty WEBP. 🙄

As the caption says, clicking on a tab stacks it with the next one. I don't know what the reason for this is. Probably the hold duration is toooo small.

Tried quitting and restarting.

Hi there! I'm trying to find keyboard shortcuts for Back and Forward navigation that I can bind to my mouse buttons.

So far, the only ones I've found are the History Rewind and History Forward shortcuts (Alt + Left Arrow / Alt + Right Arrow, or Ctrl + Left Arrow / Ctrl + Right Arrow). The problem is these jump straight to the first or last page in my history, skipping over everything in between.

Example: Open YouTube (page 1) Click a video (page 2) Click another video (page 3) Pressing History Rewind takes me straight back to YouTube (page 1) — completely skipping page 2.

What I actually want is to go back one page at a time, just like the back/forward arrow buttons (< >) in the browser's address bar. Is there a shortcut that works that way?

How often does vivaldi sync with Google Calendar, and how can I set another
frequency of sync?

I ask, because I often get the "Error 429" in vivaldi while syncing with Google Calendar.

Hi everyone,

I love using custom HTML in Vivaldi Notes to create realistic Post-it notes (like giving them a yellow background, a subtle shadow, and a slight rotation with CSS). They look amazing and are super useful for organizing my thoughts.

However, Vivaldi Notes isn't very reliable when using custom inline styles or transforms. Very often, the text inside the note completely disappears, or the CSS formatting/layout gets cleared/broken at random while editing or clicking around.

Here is an example of the Post-it HTML structure I like to use:

html
<div style="background-color: #FFFEBB; border: 1px solid #dcd37b; border-radius: 2px; padding: 12px; margin: 8px 0; box-shadow: 2px 3px 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.2); transform: rotate(-1deg); font-family: sans-serif; color: #333;">
  <strong>💡 MODO DE USO PC OBJETIVO</strong><br>
  Seria un pc lo suficientemente liviano y portable para que sea transportable de una casa a otra, luego tendria un portatil liviano y con gran pantalla para uso en el sofa a traves de remote play together o moonlight que NO necesitan wifi si estas en la MISMA casa
</div>

Hoping I can get some advice here. This is my desktop Vivaldi browser ver.8.2.4133.84

Suddenly Windows told me I was running low on disk space which really surprised me as I have multiple drives to keep large stuff off my C drive.

I dug around and discovered AppData\Local\Vivaldi\User Data\Default\File System\016\t\00 contains a “file” which is 579GB in size!

I understand from searching that this is browsing data such as API calls. All the other folders before 016 don’t even contain a kb each.

Sure I could clear my browsing data. My question is should I not be alarmed by this? Do the numbered folders cap off and generate a new one, which it looks like to me? Folder 015 stopped recording data a month ago.

I’m looking through my search history and seeing a lot of Google maps searches and tonight I’ve just been making hotel bookings. I don’t download torrents or the like, never had a virus.

Seriously, how could more than half a TB of browsing data suddenly appear? Is it a read error by Win 11 and the file isn’t actually that size?

Is there a way I can get into this file and see anything? I looked at the log files in the Origins folder using notepad but couldn’t see much. Any clues appreciated!

I've installed Vivaldi not long ago. I'm on 8.2.4133.84 (Official Build) (x86_64) and I've noticed something weird with Feeds. If a feed is inside a folder it won't update. Only feeds in the top level feeds folder are updating.

Has anyone experienced a similar issue?

Ever since I installed Vivaldi on my computer, I've been having trouble sorting bookmarks. And I'm clearly not the only one. Just search the internet.

Nothing is intuitive. Everything has been deliberately made complicated. Why?

You can sort bookmarks using the sidebar. It’s a bit of a hassle, but in general it works. There.

However, this doesn’t carry over to the Speed Dial folders: everything is still messed up in these folders.

How do I sort the bookmarks inside the Speed Dial folders (groups)?

Firefox 115 ESR dies in March, and Rinfox essentially with it. I have a Windows 11 PC extensively modified to resemble Windows 7 and wanted to know if I can use the ie8 icon svg files from Rinfox for Vivaldi

Vivaldi browser version 8.2.4133.84 (Official build) (64 bits)
Windows 11 26H2
It's happening to me for a while, at least for a month with all lasts versions of browser. Browser freezes in youtube and twitter until i minize window or change scale of a window. It's happening almost always in video content, for example in youtube when i scroll down to comments or back to video, it's happening when i scrolling. I don't understand why this is happens, i tried to turn off hardware acceleration and nothing changes. I still hear the sound of the video, but can't do anything in the browser, only minimize the window or change scale and fullscreen again so it's fixed untill the next freeze, which can be immidiate.

Hi all,

I'm on the latest 8.2.4133.84 on Windows and noticed the url address bar auto-complete suddenly changed. Before, it would auto complete on urls that I used most. Now it doesn't seem to do that anymore. It also seems to change the order of bookmarks appearing. For example, when I type r it usually autocompleted to reddit.com, as I've visited the homepage many time and have it bookmarked somewhere. Now it autocompletes to a random thead I bookmarked, one of many. I tried playing with the url autocomplete settings, disabling bookmark priority, but then it suddenly starts autocompleting to a subreddit I visit often (but significantly less than the home page).

What's goin on? Is anyone else noticing issues with this?

I've made some custom icons and when replacing the one of the tab menu, it lost the received tab notification dot.
Does anyone knows how to make it work(vanilla, wihtout css)?
Is there something special inside the svg that I need to add?
There is other icons with overlays inside the svg files, like the sync status, but I cant find the tab menu icon to download.

I currently use the vertical tabs on the right and the sidebar on the right, but I’d like an option to change the display order toVertical Tabs (outer) → Sidebar (inner).This is because I found the layout a bit awkward when the sidebar was expanded.

I was using vivaldi as my daily driver when i was using Windows.

Last week I have shifted to linux and BOY does it lag.

even speed dial is sluggish, When i close the tab it takes a significant nanoseconds to close it.

Tried Opera browser, Surprisingly, as bloated Opera is, It works perfect in comparison to vivaldi on linux.

does vivaldi use different technologies on linux as compared to windows? Maybe I haven't tweaked with the settings to make it more responsive.

Critical issue: On macOS 27, when the MacBook screen is locked or the device enters sleep mode, the application becomes unresponsive after the MacBook is unlocked or wakes up.

After reopening the MacBook, the application may still display the current webpage normally, but any area outside the visible webpage content cannot be clicked or interacted with. The app becomes laggy and almost unusable until it is restarted.

for details, I will record the video

Vivaldi Version: 8.2.4133.84 (Phiên bản Chính thức) (arm64)

Chromium Version: 152.0.7977.160

Channel: Phiên bản Chính thức

Platform / OS: macOS Phiên bản 27.0.1 (Bản dựng 26A434)

Executable Path: /Applications/Vivaldi.app/Contents/MacOS/Vivaldi

Command Line: /Applications/Vivaldi.app/Contents/MacOS/Vivaldi --flag-switches-begin --enable-features=VivaldiCssMods --flag-switches-end

Vivaldi toolbar stops responding after wake

Environment: macOS 27.0 (26A428), Vivaldi 8.2.4133.80, Stage Manager enabled, MacBook display plus one external display.

Issue: After sleep/wake, the web page remains clickable, but Vivaldi's toolbar, tabs, extensions, and browser buttons stop responding.

Evidence: WindowServer logged 34,574 occurrences of:

_CGXPackagesSetWindowConstraints: Invalid window

During the failure, Vivaldi's visible window was incorrectly registered as only 145×149 px at (15,515), approximately the size of a Stage Manager thumbnail. Vivaldi, GPU, and extension processes were not frozen.

Verification: The issue does not occur when Stage Manager is disabled.

Conclusion: This is most likely a macOS Stage Manager/dual-display window-geometry bug after wake. Restarting Vivaldi temporarily fixes it; disabling Stage Manager prevents the issue.

Samsung Internet has a feature where, if you visit a website and have the app installed, you can choose to be redirected to the app instead.
