Vivaldi vs Artha

I am using Ubuntu 22.04, Vivaldi 7.7.3851, and Artha 1.0.5.

For some reason I cannot figure out, highlighting text in Vivaldi is not recognized by Artha. Using a custom hotkey should bring up Artha, but does not. There are no conflicts in the hotkeys, and with all extensions disabled, I am still not able to activate Artha. Does anyone else have this problem? Do you know a fix? I should mention that in other non-internet programs, i.e., word processors, Artha works just fine.

Stop "Open in new tab" directly switching to new tab? (V: 8.0.4033.57)

Whenever I open a new tab, Vivaldi directly switches to it, can I disable that and if yes, how? I want the new tab to be opened but remain on the page I am currently on. I'm on Version 8.0.4033.57

I just started using Vivaldi and I like it but wanted to ask about Workspaces

Is there a way to use workspaces without "Last Session" being enabled?

I like having a fresh browsing session each time I start my browser and I would also like to use workspaces.

It seems silly I can't decouple this weird dependency when other browsers allow that type of behavior.

Is my only option just keeping startup without "Last Session" and using sessions as a rudimentary workspace? or fallback to session buddy's extension? seems so odd of a decision for this feature.

Any help would be appreciated

"Save image as" no longer saving last used folder location?

Run into this issue today where "Save Image As..." no longer prompt the last used location and always return to default download location. Before today, "Save Image As..." will update to the last used location until reboot, while download will just save file to the default download location without asking.

I know the second download checkbox can help, but I don't want to change the default download location. Anyone knows how to resolve this issue?

Input Lag on search

Vivaldi 8.0.4045.67

Since last upgrade my browser has developed a 1/2 second input lag when entering URL.

Really odd thing it only occurs with letter a and also lags on delete afterwards.

Only happens on Vivaldi, have tested Chrome and Firefox.

it's hugely annoying and I've not noticed this behaviour prior to last update.

I've cleared data/cache , tried different search providers but all result in the same issue.

Any ideas or solutions?

Vivaldi not working on Reddit.

I'm using version 8.0.4033.57 on Windows 11.

When going to Reddit, it only loads three posts and no comment section is available to click on.
Anyone else that has experienced this problem or have a potential solution?

Works fine in other browers. This appeared last update.

Updated to latest stable: Vivaldi's killing MV2 ahead other browsers than Chrome

Side by side with Google and Chrome. Hand in hand! Even Lemur browser for Android beta has both MV2 and MV3 support! (It's btw a Kiwi fork).

I get that MV2 is phased out eventually but Opera and Vivaldi - browsers that used to be almost like Firefox - are practically enabling Google and Chrome.

Google must use dirty tactics to push other major Chromium browsers to shoot MV2 behind barn on behalf of Chrome.

Using version: 8.1.4087.35, Win10x64

Shame on you. Shame on this day. Shame on free and open internet. You might as well replace Proton VPN with Google Drive proxy. Kissing Google/Chrome much. Absurd.

mobile vivaldi keeps reverting my search engine settings/changes

hello, i had to switch to a new phone the day before yesterday. i'm now using a samsung s26; i had to trade in my s22 to do so. i transferred over everything to the best of my ability, and i have sync on in my browser itself, which is vivaldi for android.

my issue is that i took this opportunity to switch to duckduckgo as my search engine, specifically the noai version. however, for some reason, the browser keeps reverting my settings.

i've tried:

- making a new custom search engine with the URL set to https://noai.duckduckgo.com/?q=%s&{ddg:Referral} and the Suggest URL set to https://noai.duckduckgo.com/ac/?q=%s&type=list

- i've tried making a custom search engine that just uses https://noai.duckduckgo.com/ for both URL entries (it doesn't work for some reason altogether?)

- i've tried editing the existing DDG search engine option by appending noai. into the existing urls (thus giving what is laid out above)

it keeps resetting itself back to either vanilla DDG (in the case of editing the DDG search option) or my custom search disappearing (for the first and second options) outright. i'm very confused; is this a sync issue? is it something that can be resolved on desktop? what am i doing wrong?

i just want to set my search engine to noai duckduckgo. that's really all i want. please help. :(

(and please, DO NOT suggest i try a different browser or search engine, especially if it is a paid search engine. i already have a backup search engine if this is unfixable! it is not helpful to just tell me to try out your favorite alternatives, it is in fact quite annoying if i did not ask for that. i simply have to say this because it happens on every post i make in the general degoogling/browser/search community, and it can be very frustrating. thank you!)

google.com redirects to other search URLs - no malware

8.0.4033.54 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Windows 10

I'm not having this issue with any other browser - Firefox, Chrome - but when I go to www.google.com and search something, the URL redirects to yahoo. Is this something to do with settings? It seems it's a common malware thing, but I have antivirus and ran several different scans with various software to no avail.

Please move the tab list above the address bar, for better usability and gesture

Basically, scrolling between tabs on mobile is a problematic experience because it constantly triggers Android (One UI) gestures.

Moving the tab list above the address bar would prevent triggering gestures from the bottom of the screen.

The address bar positioned below the tab list wouldn't create another problem, since interaction with it is done through taps instead of holding and scrolling as is the case with the tab list.

In addition, positioning it above the address bar allows for easier access with your thumb.

I made a CSS mod for Vivaldi: collapsible left tab bar in auto-hide mode

Hey everyone! 👋

I made a small Vivaldi CSS mod called VivaldiCollapsibleTabbar for people who use the left tab bar with auto-hide and want a cleaner, more space-efficient layout.

What it does

  • Makes the left tab bar feel collapsible/compact
  • Works nicely with auto-hide mode
  • Helps reduce UI clutter while keeping tabs quickly accessible
  • uses theme setting to ensure consistent styling

Repo

https://github.com/firzanruzain/VivaldiCollapsibleTabbar

Version

Current tagged version: 0.1.2.1

Vivaldi Version Used: 8.0.4033.54 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Built with

  • CSS only (no extra tools required)

Why I made it

I wanted a setup that keeps the tab bar out of the way when I’m focused, but still easy to reveal when navigating lots of tabs. This mod is my take on that balance.

Feedback welcome

If you try it, I’d really appreciate:

  • bug reports
  • compatibility notes (OS / Vivaldi version)
  • ideas for improvements (animations, sizing, behavior tweaks)

If there’s interest, I can keep iterating and add optional style variants.

Vivaldi New Tab page how to make it work more like Firefox or Edge?

Hi everyone,

I'm currently using Vivaldi 8 on Win11 (Windows 11 Version 25H2 (Build 26200.8737) desktop (8.0.4033.54), and so far I really like it. However, there's one feature I miss from both Firefox and Microsoft Edge. On their New Tab pages, they automatically display your most visited or frequently visited websites in a neat grid, updating over time based on your browsing habits. It's a simple, dynamic homepage that doesn't require manually adding or organizing shortcuts. In Vivaldi, it seems like the New Tab page mainly relies on Speed Dials, which have to be managed manually. Is there a way to make Vivaldi's New Tab page behave more like Firefox or Edge? Ideally, I'd like it to automatically show my most visited websites in rows (or a grid), while still keeping the clean look of Vivaldi. Is this possible with built-in settings, a hidden option, an extension, or some kind of customization?
