Desktop browser / Privacy and Security
Starting with Vivaldi 2.7, user counting was changed to gradually drop the use of unique IDs. For now an additional request to our user counting endpoint is made. This request is similar to the old one and includes the unique ID, but contains additional parameters that will be used by the new unique ID-free implementation. […]

Hi I am having major trouble with the latest Vivaldi (100% disk usage and system freeze during startup, sometimes BSOD system crash), so I am running an old Version without updating it for now. But that can't go on forever. So from time to time, I would like to try if the newest Version fixed [...]

Is standalone installation possible on linux?

However, we can have anything on our user folder. So what [...]
Question about standalone version of Vivaldi
Because of serious stability problems with Vivaldi 6.1, I'm planning to drop back to Vivaldi 5.7, but when I install the standalone version, can I simply copy the Vivaldi folder to Program Files, and everything will work correctly?

Vivaldi icon for multiple standalone Vivaldis
Hi Vivalovers!!! Who's the chicest browser in the world? But... for hard users like me who use multiple standalone ones, this doesn't look edgy...

How to create a standalone app for vivaldi://calendar?
I tried the usual path with the --app=vivaldi://calendar executable option, but that opened a window complaining that chrome://calendar doesn't exist. Quoting didn't help either. Could we call this a bug, since it's trying to redirect to a Chrome URI instead of handling that by itself when running from --app?
Standalone Vivaldi Profile deleted on windows reinstall
I installed Vivaldi as standalone on D drive. When I reinstalled windows, my profile (in D drive) was deleted. Vivaldi is the only browser where this happened, that is bad.
wierd bugs in standalone snapshot after stable installed
twice I installed stable all/single(idk which) user over a year alongside standalone snapshot. On my previous win7, right click to open link in private window crashed Vivaldi. I thought there's a bug with above setup(just a hunch) but didn't report thinking it was most likely unreproducible. Now, I installed the same 2 Vivaldi setup on [...]
