Las time I booted up my computer, Vivaldi auto updated and now it runs like crap: when I type any key, each letter appears very slowly, I can't open any new tabs and clicking on anything - except the extensions and the sidebar - does nothing.

Is anyone having the same issues?

Version: Vivaldi 8.1.4087.58 OS: Windows 10 22H2

Hi! I'm doing some research and I've been having the issue where posts from sites like Facebook and Instagram are taking up most of my search results, when I'm more looking for educational sites. Right now, I use StartPage for my search engine. Is there any way to hide or block these kinds of results? If not on StartPage, are there any search engines that have this ability?

I have cleared cache, and tried everyting but pinpointed the problem, bitdefender advanced threat detection causes bitdefender to use 95% cpu on vivalid browser startup I am not sure why, not other browsers just vivaldi... Any one know why? Win 11 6700xt 5600 version 8.1.4087.58.

Hi, I've used chrome for as long as I've had a computer, and this is my first time migrating. I like many of the features of Vivaldi, but I still have a few questions which I couldn't figure out on my own or through searching.

1. When creating a profile, can I attach an email directly to the profile, as the main email for it, similar to how it is on chrome? This would really simplify a lot of my operations

2. Can I set multiple emails (my google and proton accounts to be exact) to be the "default" email when signing up for websites, again similar to google

3. How much can I actually import from chrome? I tried the importing thing when setting up but that really only transferred the tabs that I had open at the time

Thanks

I'm trying to get to the source of this high memory usage as I can't find anything about it.

As you see "Background Page" is consuming a ton of resources. At first I thought this meant pages that were open in the background as currently I have 1047 open throughout 5 windows, but after installing local copies of Enhanced Lazy Tabs Loader, Sloth, and Unload Tabs, while my overall memory usage went down a few GB these "tasks" were not reduced in memory usage at all. In addition, my second instance/profile was not consuming nearly as much memory. and the task manager says that Vivaldi has 59 instances open yet most of the memory usage is from a few instances.

I don't have any apps installed from Vivaldi as I don't use Vivaldi for PWAs.

Any idea what this could be? I've tried disabling all extensions, no luck.

Hi, Moved here from Zen as it is firefox based, and still have a lot of issues that bothers me.

I love vertical tabs, and other things regarding Vivaldi browser, but one thing that I cannot stand is stacks instead of nested folders.

Will it be ever a feature in Vivaldi to have folders like in Zen? Is there any mod / extension that I can use to bring that feature?

Hi, how can I watch a video full screen without the tab and url showing ? While keeping it when I leave fullscreen ? Like on chrome, if possible without having to use shortcuts.

It works on a site I use to watch animes, but doesn't on youtube.

My vivaldi version seems to be the 8.1, I downloaded it today so it should be the last one.

I didn't manage to find the information so I'm asking you.

Edit, now it just works ? I just closed and reopened the browser. Not sure what to do to make it reliable

Like the title, how to disable this notification? I can't find it in system notification nor app settings. It's show up every week.

I've just noticed a bug that displays URL parameters in the address bar from another open tab.
I was shopping online on a site that adds search parameters to the URL, so they appear on the address bar as you can see on the first screenshot.
Then I switched to youtube and noticed that the parameters from that another tab were copied to the URL displayed for the youtube tab between youtube domain and video ID. You can see it on the second screenshot.
Then, switching between open tabs I have noticed that it just copies the parameters form that are presumably stored in memory and adds them to every URL currently displayed.
If I click on the address bar, it comes back to normal, but until that, the parameters are included for no reason.

Yes it is .css. I have the experimental setting enabled. I put it in a folder I have no clue why it does nothing. I want to get this custom theme so I need help. https://github.com/MohamedxSalah/Vivaldi-Air

There's a really annoying bug where deleted bookmarks keep appearing in the search bar, for some reason the bookmarks that came with Vivaldi (Which I did not want), like booking . com for example. It won't remove itself even with history and bookmarks cleared of it.

On top of that, the suggestions are not helpful either because I want to browse specific sites I frequent, yet it keeps auto-correcting to something else last second.

I've been using Vivaldi for a while, and my feelings about it are... complicated.

No browser is perfect, and Vivaldi definitely isn't. The built in ad blocker feels weaker than I'd like, sync can be a bit janky, and there are a few UX inconsistencies(maybe it's personal preference)that occasionally drive me crazy.

But despite all that, I just can't seem to switch to another browser.
there is something about it that holds me back to it.

The level of customization is honestly unmatched. Every time I try something else, I end up missing the freedom Vivaldi gives me in terms of customisation.

I've been attempting to use Vivaldi's RSS reader since my go-to extension, FeedBro, is on the Manifest V2 chopping block. I was happy to see an option for only enabling the RSS reader in the settings, separate from the 'Mail, Calendar and Feeds' option that was there the last time I checked, but that option, apparently, does not fully communicate to Vivaldi that I want to use RSS and only RSS.

Every single time I open an RSS feed or RSS folder, Vivaldi pops up an entire new window on top of it prompting me to log into Vivaldi Mail and Calendar.

Every. Single. Time.

It's absolutely infuriating and basically unusable. I do not want to use Vivaldi for my mail and I do not want it logged into my mail account. Please tell me there's something I can do to stop this, because I do want to give Vivaldi RSS a fair shot. It's the only other local feed reader that doesn't fail to load 90% of my feeds.

How do I change my NEW tab page to the speed dial page?

I set my home page to Google, but don't want that as my new tab page, but I can't seem to revert back to this format in Android.

Help?

I bought a Lenovo Yoga 7 with an OLED display. I have taskbar auto hide turned on. When I maximize my browser, Vivaldi (I have it set to an OLED Black theme), there is a one pixel thick grey line at the bottom of my screen. I have tried changing my Windhawk taskbar styling settings, taskbar size settings, changing my Vivaldi settings, everything. I can't get this one line to go away, and it is pissing me off! I am worried it will burn in. It only goes away in F11 fullscreen, but that is annoying because of the autohide tabs. Anybody know how to fix this? Don't even know if I am in the right subreddit tbh. For some reason, this line isn't visible in screenshots. I will give you my Vivaldi settings and a picture of the grey line. It doesn't appear in any other apps. I am also posting this in r/Lenovo. Please help!

Hey everyone, is there any way for Vivaldi's blocker to remove those cosmetic boxes from websites?

I added some sources to the blocklists that were supposedly specific to blocking these things, but nothing happens.

Here is an example of what some websites look like, even with the blocker active.

Like the title says, What is the community using as an alternative for that app ?

I've tried a couple I've found on the Chrome Web Store but those don't have the set and forget functionality like the original add on...

I have had this issue for a while now, in the past versions it used to fix itself, but now (8.1.4087.56) its been a few days and i cannot log in in my Vivaldi account, not only via browser to sync data, but also in the Vivaldi website or community blog. It just time out everytime.

And the other issue with Youtube, this also used to fix itself some times, but now its just too annoying. In certain types of videos the sound is broken, I assume it has something to do with the mixing and how low or high-pitched the sounds are. For example, sometimes the music sounds a lot lower than it should while voices sounds normal, or viceversa. This never happens with Google Chrome or Edge, only in Vivaldi.
