Odd, because I don't get notifications from sites in my installs (I simply block globally as there's no site I want notifications from).

Thanks for this, Timothy!

I was loading vivaldi://chrome from an incognito window. After you mentioned that, I suspected that incognito does not provide access to all settings. Then I opened it from a normal window, searched for notifications, disabled 'ask before send' (becomes blocked) and voilà! No notification requests anymore.

I stand corrected and apologize for the noise.

For those of us who like Vivaldi on Linux:

One of the features of Vivaldi that I very much appreciated was that it supports Tidal. But since some time ago I receive a message "Could not connect to streaming server. Check your internet connection" whenever I try to play some music in the web client. I used to get the same message in Chromium (Eric's package). I am currently in contact with Tidal support trying to dissect what could be wrong, and I found out that for some reason now Tidal plays well in chromium (as well as google-chrome).

My question here is if some one can confirm that Tidal is still working in Vivaldi? Otherwise it might be a Vivaldi bug, which I will not be able to solve.

EDIT:

Well what do you know?! I found in Ruari's script (latest-vivaldi.sh) that I could use it to fetch the latest snapshot. When done, I could play Tidal just fine. Hurrah! Then I opened vivaldi-stable again (to type this EDIT) and Tidal works fine! I have no idea what just happened but I'm glad that all is well again :-)

The Vivaldi browser rules! Big thanks to Ruari et al.

Cheers, Leon.

Hah, I just signed up to a Tidal trial to try to help. I managed to get it to work after realising I had to a] install Pepperflash and b] enable Flash in the Vivaldi settings. Glad you got it to work.

EDIT: Wow, when you cancel your subscription you have to fill in a compulsory 'exit survey' before they allow it.

Thank you Lysander666, sorry for the hassle, I very much appreciate your efforts. It was your enthousiasm that had me try out Vivaldi as a replacement for Firefox. Over time I tried several alternative browsers, but only Vivaldi has stayed with me.

I've been getting occasional desktop input freezes in Slackware. As far as I can remember, it's always in vivaldi when I'm typing into a box. Keyboard and mouse go dead together and that's it. Nothing to do but switch off. Anyone else seen this?

Hmm that's a pretty serious issue. You can't even use Ctrl + Alt + F4 to get to a tty session and then killall -u hazel? I think I remember once having something similar in Vivaldi, I think it was loading a Youtube video, and I noticed either the CPU or RAM usage skyrocket and then I had to do a hard reset. That was a few months ago, I think.

No, that's the problem. No keyboard means no way to get to a console. I've tried the sysRq REISUB thing but I've never been able to get that to work. It happened yesterday with vivaldi-2.7.1628.33 but I'm pretty sure other occurrences were with the previous version. It's a very occasional bug, so not as serious as it sounds. But it's annoying.

ssh from another system, or smartphone/tablet

You mean do that while X is frozen? And then what? What kind of diagnostics to run?

It's getting past a joke. It happened again today shortly after I made the last post in this thread. That's twice in two days! This time I wasn't writing, I was reading some news in Yahoo. But oddly enough, my cursor had adopted the text shape (I) rather than the arrow shape. That seems to be a constant factor. If this goes on, I'm going back to firefox!

yes while it is frozen
if you can shell in you can at least shutdown gracefully

diagnostics ?

dmesg would be a start

Just checked the logs. Nothing suspicious in there.
