Probiere gerade aus, ob Vivaldi was für mein browsing ist. Stelle fest, dass der Browser ein laufendes Video automatisch stumm schaltet, wenn der Fokus nicht auf dem Fenster liegt (lasse ein Video im Browser laufen und arbeite zB an einem Text im Office). Wie schalte ich die automatische Stummschaltung aus?

Dear Vivaldi web browser users,

1) How to PREVENT Proton installing

Right-click, do not left-click, but right-click the VPN Button and click REMOVE.

2) How to REMOVE Proton VPN if installed.

Click on the Vivaldi logo, click on tools, click on extensions. This will list ALL your installed browser extensions, and you can click on REMOVE for Proton VPN.

3) How to PREVENT Vivaldi from doing this in the future (see screenshots, alt text included).

The 1st screenshot details that you should first go into your settings. Proceed to select the category "Privacy and Security". Scroll down and select the button that reads "Manage Sources".
The 2nd screenshot shows that once you click on the button "Managed Sources" two categories display, which are "Tracker Blocking Sources" and "Ad Blocking Sources". The screenshot shows that the 3rd item within "Ad Blocking Sources" reads "Allow ads from our Partners (support Vivaldi)", is un-checked. The photo implies you should un-check this if it is checked (which it is by default).

How to PREVENT Vivaldi from doing this in the future (see screenshots, alt text included).


Dear Vivaldi,

I like your web browser, and have been very vocal concerning the support and adaption of Vivaldi Browser. But for a company, whose browser starts up claiming "Made with Love in Europe", you picked a company (Proton) that falls under Us Jurisdiction, whose CEO supports Donald Trump and his fellow, Nazis. I am greatly disappointed.

What happened to Vivaldi Browser?

Vivaldi Browser is now bundled with Proton VPN. But Proton (the company) is a registered business in the United States.

There are 200 or so independent countries, territories, and states world-wide. But as you know, corporations do not include terms and conditions for all 200 or so geographical jurisdictions. Businesses only include and worry about the jurisdictions that apply to them.

That said, I would much rather let their own legal documentation speak for itself. Here are their terms concerning Proton. It has whole sections concerning US Customers and US Laws. https://proton.me/wallet/terms A company outside Us Law would not care about American laws, anymore than you would likely care about the law in North Korea, for example.

Proton would like to argue, likely from a public relations standing point, that these terms only apply to Proton Wallet. But that is not how our laws work in the United States. You do not get to pick and choose which department is subject to US Law, anymore than you get to pick which Us Laws you want to follow.

I am really disappointed that Vivaldi Browser, would bundle a company, is clearly subject to Us Laws and Us Jurisdiction.

So far my only issue with the #Vivaldi browser is its performance is TERRIBLE whenever I'm streaming video. If I'm doing something else, like playing a game, I can notice it locking up every few seconds. Close the streaming video tab and it's fine.

I saw someone mention to turn off hardware acceleration in settings and it seemed like that fixed it momentarily but not anymore.

Anyone else experience that?
