Android not giving Vivaldi access to Camera ?

Is there any way to get Vivaldi on Android to access the Camera on Android. I recently found out that Android granted Chrome access to the camera and microphone but no matter if I went into the settings for Android etc it would not grant the access to the device camera or microphone ?

Turn off "Find" toggling

Recently using Command-F (macOS) toggles the Find in page function, and I can't find a Settings option to turn this off.

When trying to search for multiple things, I can no longer blindly just hit Command-F to focus the Find function and begin typing, because if it's already there, it freaking disappears!!

Any help?

Separate cookies for every workspace?

I wish there was something like Firefox Mutli-Account Containers for Vivaldi... but maybe there is an extension that would separate cookies between workspaces, so this way we could use them in a similar ways like we use browser profiles?

Can you please, PLEASE, do ANYTHING other than having this locked pop-up when translating pages?

This is hands down the most frustrating feature in a mobile browser, not only Vivaldi. This stupid, utterly useless, prompt covers many websites buttons and icons, and it stays on over 30 seconds, sometimes it doesn't go away at all!

It can't be swiped away, it can't be moved, and the only way to see and interact with what it's covering, is to press "undo", then translate again, then finally getting to a prompt that can be swiped away! I flagged this several times from the support tab but nothing happens!

PLEASE, do ANYTHING else! Have it just for a second, have it be dismissible, remove it and just make it a tiny icon, remove it and have the full prompt with the settings that can be swiped away, ANYTHING OTHER THAN THIS.

Sorry for being irritable but I have been struggling with this for months now, and it can't be that hard to just have anything other than this nightmare.

Vivaldi deleting all Tabs from all Workspaces after failed login

My Vivaldi just had an issue connection on startup and all my workspaces were empty.

I checked the Login and it was not connected, so i logged in with my pw and ToTP and a sync started ... uploading the empty workspaces and leaving me wit hundets of lost habs over multiple workspaces for different projects.

I tryed to get an old sync from my laptop no luck...

Browser addons like SessionBuddy atlead hat a history to restore 90% in that case but i dont see any way to get anything back, exept the history of the last 2 days.

Vivalarc CSS file doesn't work for me ... ?

Hi,

I'd like to understand what mistake I made in the process or why I can't get the CSS to work. I want to use Vivalarc, the CSS that makes Vivaldi look like Arc. I tried enabling tab autohide (just that part of the CSS), and it worked fine. So I followed the instructions, enabled custom CSS, placed the file or the Vivalarc CSS code in the appropriate location, restarted Vivaldi, but... nothing happens.

Vivalarc doesn't apply, and my Vivaldi remains the same as before adding the CSS file. When I use the CSS for hiding tabs along with Vivalarc, only the tab autohide works. When I use only Vivalarc, nothing happens. Yet, this CSS is quite popular, and I haven't seen anyone mention it not working online. So either I made a very basic mistake, or there's another issue.

Here are the steps I followed: Download and extract Vivalarc >Go to vivaldi://experiments >Enable CSS customization > Go to Appearance settings and set the Vivalarc folder (I tried selecting all possible folders from the extracted ZIP > Restart Vivaldi > Nothing happens

If someone could help me understand the issue, that would be great. I should mention that I have very little knowledge of CSS or coding, but I shouldn't have to modify anything since this is a fairly popular customization.

I'm on Windows 11, and my vivaldi is on version 7.1.3570.42

I'm referring to this CSS: https://vivalarc.tovi.fun/

Here is my addon, some classic addon like ublock and tabliss, other are just for saving pictures and one for picking a color on a website.

Thanks in advance if anyone has a solution! 😊

Is there a way to update or refresh a speed dial thumbnail on Android

I've always had this problem where the thumbnails of the speedials would go blank after clicking on them once on certain sites. Being able to see what it's in the thumbnail has always helped me differentiate what I'm looking for. So is there a way to lock or refresh the thumbnail when I first add them?

Question to dev team - Are tab group titles anywhere on the roadmap?

Currently tab stacks have the title and/or favicon of one of the tabs inside that stack. If that stack has many different tabs it's very confusing and hard to find what I'm looking for. If there are many stacks it's nearly impossible to do it quickly and intuitively, and I need to start inferring things.

Edge and chrome solve this successfully by having separate title element to them that allows to open and close them while retaining the title text, that also clearly visually distinguish between groups. The value of this organization method is very high in daily workflow when working simultaneously on multiple projects.

Is adding this element anywhere on the roadmap?

Is there a way to highlight inactive tab when cursor hovering over link leading to that tab's page.

In Opera this is a feature I didn't know I missed until I realized I had opened the same link 5 different times and still had the tabs opened. Bad habit of mine, opening link in new tabs without really checking them until I'm done with current tab, totally irrelevant.

Anyway in Opera when you hover over a link it highlights a tab if you have it currently opened. I searched for an extension to do this but all I found was extensions to customize tab favicons or color or a lot of other things to do with tabs, but none that did what I was actually looking for. It's not like it's a game breaker or anything, but it would be nice to have that feature now that I moved to Vivaldi.

Vivaldi suddenly making title font size huge on android

https://imgur.com/a/9CeezP5

For years using reddit (yes I use old Reddit in browser 50% of the time) on Vivaldi didn't randomly make certain text huge like every other browser other than Firefox. Combined with the best tab UI Vivaldi was the best browser by a mile for me.

The other day I find that the title fonts on Reddit are now huge with no setting to revert. Is there a setting for this, or a version. I can downgrade to?

Thanks in advance for any help

Version 7.1.3580.77

Vivaldi not working on iPad Mini 2019

Does Vivaldi not run on iPadOS? I tried installing it, and it locks up as soon as I try to sync data. All I can do afterward is open or close it, and when reopening it, I can get one tap in before it locks up again.

I'm using it (or trying to) on an iPad Mini 2019 with the latest OS. I have no idea what the Vivaldi version is, because I can't interact with the app at all to get that info.

My BIGGEST pet peeve with Vivaldi

Coming from Edge which has very similar features as Vivaldi, I treated the sidebar of Vivaldi just like I would with Edge. I have 17 websites that I would occasionally need to conveniently have in the "split" form factor.

With this setup, Vivaldi was consuming so much RAM and I had to investigate why. This was Chromium based after all, which was a big reason I stopped using Zen.

I found out that Vivaldi handles the panels very differently. From a fresh start of Vivaldi, the sidebar website already have 'dedicated workers' running, even when I have not touched them. It still eats roughly the same RAM the moment I open them. Clicking on the favicon shows/hides the website, and pressing the 'X' close button merely hides the website.

Edge handles this very differently by having two options. Clicking on the favicon shows/hides the website, but pressing the 'X' button actually closes the tab and kills the process. I believe this is way more superior as it gives as a bigger degree of freedom on how we want specific website to be handled. I do not need my sidebar website to be running all the time. It is a convenience-feature alternative to split tab.

I thought this was a very obvious flaw that I was probably missed a setting on, but all I could find is a setting that "Auto Close Inactive Panels" but observing from the task manager, the website still eats RAM like it would if it was open.

Bonus: I can't seem to upload a profile picture of my profile that is logged in a Vivaldi Account.

TLDR: vivaldi should close and kill the process of a website in the sidebar when the 'X' close button is pressed, instead of simply hiding it.

Using only the f vim keybinding?

So, I like using Vivaldi, and I like the fact that I can do basically everything directly through the keyboard. One thing missing is something that lets me click on a clickable element using only the keyboard.

There are some extensions that add Vim-like bindings to the browser, but I am only interested in the f binding to look through and select a clickable element.

Is there anything that I can do to have only that feature, without all the rest of the bindings?

favorite windows browser, but the mobile version, is not my favorite as it feels very clunky to other browsers on mobile....

I always find that i like to experiment with different browsers, but I always come back to Vivaldi bc of the tab management and pw sycn that actually works etc. im also one of the few ppl prob that loves safari on mac, but there is not a windows option. i do wish the mobile version of V would get some love and polish.

Blocking youtube shorts on Vivaldi Android Browser

Greetings, I'm looking to diversify my browsing options. I'm currently using Brave which is providing a good experience, particularly on youtube and i'm currently trying Vivaldi out on Android.

I set it up to read videos on locked screen, blocking ads, not starting videos automatically, all good.

However I would like to completely block Youtube Shorts, which is an option in Brave that I have not found in Vivaldi.

Is there any way to do it, any extension allowing it ?

Thanks !

Edit: as required by the sub, the app's version is 7.1.3580.77.
