Troubleshooting issues on desktop

When you encounter an issue and you’re trying to determine whether you can fix it yourself or need to report a bug, follow the steps below. Remember that in many cases it’s important to reload the web page for any changes to take effect.

Restart the browser

Sometimes the simplest things help, so exit/quit the browser, and hopefully on restart the issue will be gone.

If you’ve kept your computer on for a long time, restarting the device may help as well.


Make sure the browser is up to date

If you’re using an older version of the browser, there’s a chance that the bug has already been fixed and you won’t be having the issue in the latest version of Vivaldi. So make sure to update your browser regularly.

You can also check recent Snapshot changelogs on our Snapshot blog. The latest fixes and newest features are tested in Snapshots, before being released in the Stable version of the browser. Then you need to wait until the next version of Vivaldi Stable is released.


Test in a different profile

On desktop, sometimes an Extension or a specific Setting can cause the issue. To check if that’s the case, test the website or feature in a Guest Profile or in a new User Profile.

Click on the User Profile button (the image can also be your chosen avatar or Vivaldi account’s profile picture) on the Address Bar to create a new profile or open the guest window.


Test in another browser

It is possible to install a second version of Vivaldi to test the issue. It’s best to test with the newest version of the browser, i.e. the Snapshot, as the likelihood of the issue being fixed is highest there and in that case, you just need a little patience until the fix is released in the Stable version. On Windows, you can install any version as a Standalone. On macOS and Linux, you can run the Stable and Snapshot versions side by side.

Since Vivaldi is based on Chromium, we sometimes inherit bugs from upstream. If that’s the case, you’ll likely be able to reproduce the bug in other Chromium-based browsers. In that case, please report the bug to the Chromium team.


Change the reported User Agent

Some websites make sure to check from which browser you’re viewing their pages from and based on the information may alter what you see. The websites may also block access to their content and features altogether. To check whether a website is displayed differently because you’re using Vivaldi, you can change the browser’s Sec-CH-UA identity and check the website again.

To change which browser brand is reported:

  1. Go to Settings > Network > User Agent Brand Masking.
  2. From the drop-down menu, select whether you want the browser to identify itself without a brand, as Vivaldi, Google Chrome, or Microsoft Edge.
    In addition, you can set up a custom brand by entering the browser’s brand and version number manually.
  3. Restart the browser for the change to take effect.
  4. Visit the website again.

Disable Tracker and Ad blocker

Website functionality may depend on elements with trackers that are blocked by the Tracker and/or Ad blocker. Click on blocker shield button Content Blocker on the left side of the address bar to disable blockers and test the website.


Disable Extensions

Extensions are a common cause of issues on the desktop browser. That’s one of the reasons Vivaldi has so many built-in features – so your browsing experience won’t be hindered by extension compatibility problems.

To disable Extensions go to Vivaldi menu button Vivaldi menu > Tools > Extensions and toggle all Extensions off from the bottom right corner of each Extension card.

Lower half of an extension card on the Extension page

If the issue doesn’t occur with disabled Extensions, start enabling them one by one and test in between each re-enabled Extension.


Disconnect from VPN

Whether you’re using the built-in Proton VPN in Vivaldi or another VPN service, disconnect/pause the connection and reload the web page to see if the issue still persists.


Disable Hardware Acceleration

In case the issue you’re facing is related to playing videos and other media or to the user interface’s appearance and responsiveness, you can go to Settings > Webpages and see if disabling Hardware Acceleration makes a difference. Remember to restart the browser before testing the issue again.


Enable (Third-Party) Cookies

Cookies are used for a lot more than tracking users’ browsing habits. Sometimes websites require Third-Party Cookies to display content that was originally posted on a different site. For example, embedded videos or Vivaldi Blog’s comment section.

In Vivaldi, third-party cookies are blocked by default in Private Windows. To review and change your cookie settings, go to Settings > Privacy > Cookies.


Check your security software

Make sure your anti-virus product is up to date and not blocking Vivaldi. If your anti-virus product warns you about dangers in Vivaldi, it’s most likely a false positive. In that case, review your anti-virus product settings as they might be too sensitive. Read more about it in our answers to common security-related questions.


Reset settings

If the browser works as expected in a new User Profile with default settings, try resetting the settings in your main profile.

To reset settings:

  1. Open Settings.
  2. Go to the settings category you want to reset.
  3. Scroll to the bottom of the section.
  4. Click Reset [category name] Settings to Default.
  5. Confirm the decision by clicking Reset Settings in the popup dialog.

Some Settings, such as Enable Mail, Calendar and Feeds, will not be reset.


Delete Browsing Data

Websites get updated all the time, but information about the old version of the site is still stored in cache files and Cookies. This may cause discrepancies in the displayed website and occasionally even break functionality.

In addition, storing old browsing data for a long time will use up your device’s memory space, so deleting it every now and then can have a positive effect on the browser’s speed as well.

To delete Cache and Cookies on desktop, click on the Clear data button Clear Browsing Data button in the top-right corner of the History manager or go to Vivaldi menu button Vivaldi menu > Tools > Delete Browsing Data.

Delete all site data per website

If the issue is only occurring on a particular website you can opt for deleting Cookies and Site Data just for that site.

  1. Open the website.
  2. Click on the Site Info button on the Address Bar and select Site Settings from the menu.
  3. In the Usage section, click on Clear Data on the right.
  4. Confirm, by clicking Clear in the dialog.
  5. Reload the web page.

Delete Cookies and Site Data by cookie site

  1. Open the website.
  2. Click on the Site Info button on the Address Bar and select Cookies and site data > Manage cookies and site data from the menu.
  3. Next to the listed sites, click on Delete saved data from [site name] for each item you want to delete.
  4. Click Done.
  5. Reload the page.

Delete Cookies in Settings

  1. Go to Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies > Saved Cookies.
  2. Click on Show Saved Cookies.
  3. Scroll through the list of cookies or use the search box to filter out cookies by the website domain.
  4. Hover over the cookies you want to delete.
  5. Click on Delete Cookies button that appears on the right side.

Found a bug?

When you’ve followed the steps listed above and you can consistently reproduce the issue, please discuss it on our Forum. There, our Community members can test on their devices and either confirm the bug or suggest a fix for the issue. Some of them can also tell you whether the devs are already aware of the bug or whether a new bug report should be created.

Proton VPN for Vivaldi

The VPN feature in the Vivaldi browser is provided through a partnership between Vivaldi Technologies and Proton AG. Proton VPN is integrated into Vivaldi, allowing you to connect to a VPN server effortlessly with your Vivaldi account for free and access extra features after upgrading to a paid plan.

What is a VPN?

A virtual private network (VPN) is a service that changes how websites see your connection. Instead of seeing your connection coming from your normal IP address, they will see it coming from the IP address of the VPN provider, Proton in this case. The VPN connection encrypts traffic between you and the VPN service, so that other people who can normally view your unencrypted website traffic, cannot see the traffic. It will still be visible to anyone who can view the network communications between the VPN service and the website.

The VPN feature provided by Proton in Vivaldi is a type of VPN called a “secure web proxy”, meaning that it only affects the web traffic for Vivaldi, and does not affect the network communications of your other apps.


Why would you want a VPN?

A VPN can be used to temporarily cause a website to think you are connecting from a different country. This might be used in cases where a website does not allow access to people from your region. If using it for this purpose, you should use a new private browsing session, so that the website cannot use cookies, JavaScript storage or cache to recognize you from previous visits when you were not using the VPN.

A VPN might also be used to add a little more privacy from other users of your local network. However, it cannot shield the communication between the VPN service and the website, so it should not be used if complete privacy is needed.


Which Legal Jurisdiction is the service operated in?

Proton VPN, a service operated by Proton AG, is based in Switzerland, with company-owned servers located in Switzerland and Germany.

Account authentication is done by Vivaldi. Vivaldi Technologies is a Norwegian company with servers located in Iceland.


Connect to a VPN server

To use Proton VPN in Vivaldi, you need a Vivaldi account. If you don’t have an account yet, you can sign up here. If you already have a Proton account, you can use that for login as well.

When you’re connected to VPN, all your web traffic in Vivaldi will go through Proton VPN, but the connection does not extend to Vivaldi Mail.

To start using Proton VPN:

  1. Click on the VPN button on the right side of the Address Bar.
  2. Click Sign in with Vivaldi.
  3. In the new tab, log in with your Vivaldi account credentials.
  4. Allow Vivaldi to share your account’s recovery email address with Proton (only shown during first use).
  5. Once logged in, click on the VPN button again.
  6. Click Connect.

Once you’re connected, in Proton VPN’s menu, you’ll see that the “Unprotected” sign has changed to “Protected” and the button says “Disconnect” now. The VPN button on the Address Bar also changes color, allowing you to quickly check the connection status as you browse.

In addition, you’ll get a system notification letting you know that a connection was made. When you disconnect or the connection is dropped for some reason, you’ll also get a notification.

Proton VPN's menu open in Vivaldi browser.

Change servers

On the free plan, you can’t select a specific server to connect to, like you can on a paid plan, but you can request a switch to a different server.

To change servers:

  1. Open the VPN menu.
  2. Click Change server.

At first, you can switch servers every 1 and a half minutes. After multiple switches, the time period until you can switch again becomes longer.


Proton VPN’s advanced features

To access additional features:

  1. Open the VPN menu.
  2. Click on Features near the top left corner of the menu.
  3. Toggle features on and off as needed.

Auto Connect

With auto connect enabled, you’ll be reconnected to VPN automatically every time you open the browser.

Please note that because of how extensions are loaded after the browser starts, the VPN will be initialized a short period (a few seconds) after Vivaldi starts. Immediately after starting, Vivaldi will load the active tab without being able to use the VPN.

WebRTC leak protection

WebRTC leak protection stops your browser from leaking your IP address to websites and apps using WebRTC. This may affect video calling or live-streaming performance on some websites.

Notifications

When notifications are enabled, you’ll receive system notifications every time a connection is made or disconnected.

Extra features, such as Secure Core and Split Tunneling, are available with a paid plan.


Upgrade plan

With the free account, you’ll be connected to the fastest server for your location with limited options for switching servers. To choose a location yourself, you need to upgrade to a paid plan. In addition to being able to choose a connection location, with a paid plan you’ll get access to other premium Proton VPN features and Proton’s services. Learn more about Proton’s plans.

To view and select a plan:

  1. Open the VPN extension menu.
  2. Click on Settings in the bottom left corner of the extension’s menu.
  3. Click on Manage subscription.
  4. Select a plan.
  5. Fill out the payment details and make the payment.

By upgrading to a paid plan with a Vivaldi account you’ll be contributing to Vivaldi and supporting us in building a better browser.


Stop using VPN

To disconnect from a VPN server:

  1. Click on the VPN button on the right side of the Address Bar.
  2. Click Disconnect.

To log out of the extension:

  1. Click on the VPN button on the right side of the Address Bar.
  2. Click on Settings in the bottom left corner of the extension’s menu.
  3. Click Sign out at the bottom of the extension’s menu.
  4. Confirm your decision by clicking OK.

To disable VPN altogether:

  1. Go to Settings > Privacy and Security > Privacy > Proton VPN.
  2. Disable Enable Proton VPN.

How Ad Attribution is implemented

In order to improve the result of ad monetization for sites where a user has decided to enable ads, Vivaldi has now included support for ad attribution. You can read more about why this change was implemented here.

This page mainly aims to describe how Ad Attribution is implemented and explain the choices that led to this implementation. The goal is to be fully transparent about what may be allowed through and when.

As with the rest of the ad blocker code, this implementation is fully available as part of our released source code bundles. This allows you to fully verify that our implementation is as described here and in other articles.

Allow Ad Attribution rules

The main challenge with ad monetization is that many ad providers rely on known trackers in order to prevent click fraud and ensure that conversion has occurred before paying out. The only solution to this is unfortunately to allow such trackers to load, regardless of what our tracker blocking lists say. However, we also want to ensure that these trackers are not loaded as part of general browsing.

In order to satisfy all these requirements, I have extended the normal ad blocker rules format. This is the same format used by all popular ad-blockers and rules lists. The extended format consists of three new options that will be detailed below.

This implementation was chosen as it allows us to reuse most of the ad-blocker functionality to effectively accomplish the goal of ad attribution while also allowing us to use the automatic update mechanism coming with ad blocker rules lists. This ensures that we can promptly fix any mistake.

How it works

Ensuring that ad attribution works is a complex task that takes multiple steps to accomplish. In general, the focus is on the site which uses ads for support, however most of the work is done after clicking on a given ad. As part of the implementation, we go through the following states.

1. Navigating to a site which the user wants to support.

When this occurs, the ad attribution implementation records that it should be looking for ad clicks. We say that it is primed.

Ad attribution is normally primed on any site where the ad blocker is disabled, regardless of the state of the tracker blocker. Priming ad attribution means we will check whether the next navigation is an ad click. It has no other effect.

In order to be able to support ad attribution for our partner search engines even when ad blocking is enabled for all sites, we introduced the attribute-ads rule option:

@@||partner-site.example.com/page-i-want-to-Support$attribute-ads

This causes ad attribution to be primed on the matching page, regardless of the ad blocker status. In practice, we would also add a document option (identical to the document allow rules supported by AdBlockPlus), in order to allow the partner site to show ads:

@@||partner-site.example.com/page-i-want-to-Support$attribute-ads,document

2. Matching an ad when Ad Attribution is primed.

When this occurs, the ad attribution implementation will examine the URL being loaded as well as the URLs of any redirections which occurs as part of loading.

If none of those URLs matches a known ad, then ad attribution remains disabled. It may be primed again if the site where the user ends up is one the user wants to support.

If the URL matches a known ad, then ad attribution moves to the next stage and the process continues.

The ad-query-trigger option is used to indicate that a rule should be used to match ad URLs:

||advertiser.example.com/ad-URL$ad-query-trigger=&click-id-param=|&other-click-id-param=

The ad-query-trigger option takes a value that is composed of several query string fragments, separated by |.

Once a document matching the pattern for an ad-query-trigger rule was reached, directly or via redirect, further redirections will be examined. For those redirections, the query string of the URL will be examined. If it contains any of the strings provided as value to the option, ad attribution will be fully enabled and the origin of the matching URL will be stored as the ad landing origin for this tab.

The ad-query-trigger option requires a pattern that provides a domain name in the ad URL pattern. This means, the pattern should be host-anchored and the domain should be followed by ^,/ or ?

Once ad attribution is enabled for a specific tab and origin, that state is preserved so long as the tab navigates within this same origin. Navigating to a different origin will cause ad attribution to be disabled, but it’s state will be preserved for a half hour. Further navigations within the deadline extend it to a half hour. If the deadline passes, further navigations outside the original origin clear the state fully. Navigating back to the landing origin will re-enable ad attribution.

The ad attribution state is normally confined to the tab where it was enabled. However, a same-origin navigation to a new tab from a tab where it is enabled will preserve its state.

Ad attribution also always gets disabled seven days after being triggered.

3.Matching trackers when ad attribution is enabled

When ad attribution is enabled, it examines resources loaded on pages whose origin match the landing origin. In order to indicate which resources should be allowed for ad attribution, rules with the ad-attribution-tracker option are used.

@@||advertiser.example.org/track-click$ad-attribution-tracker=advertiser.example.com/&click-id-param=|advertiser.example.net/&ad_id=

The body of this rule matches the url of the resource itself, while the value of the ad-attribution-tracker option provides the context in which it should be allowed. The value of this option consists of a pairs of domain/query-fragment separated by |. The domain part is matched against the domain of the ad that was clicked (the ad itself, not its landing origin). The query-fragment is matched against the query fragment used to enable ad attribution. A pair matches if both components are a match. This rule matches if the resource url matches and any of the domain/query-fragment pair is a match. When a tracker is allowed this way, it bypasses blocking both in the ad blocker and the tracker blocker.

These rules are currently only available in the “Allow Ads from our Partners” list that is provided by Vivaldi. This is to avoid situations where they may be employed in malicious rules lists. You can examine our list to learn of which partner sites have ad attribution enabled and which trackers are allowed as a result here.
