    You probably already read it in the Sandboxie thread but on Win 8.1, the newest Vivaldi works just fine, so it seems to be a problem on Win 10. But anyway, I have noticed something weird, at first I couldn't load avast.com but now I also can't load twitter.com and Vivaldi even crashes. On other browsers they load just fine. But I just see that on the newest Vivaldi with only uBlock installed it also seems to work. But still strange that from "out of the blue" these problems may arise, I don't know if it's related to extensions or the old Chromium engine.

    Sounds like another handy feature, I hate it when some sites log you out after a couple minutes of inactivity, this should fix the problem.

    Can you please say what build number of Vivaldi you are talking about please? You just keep saying the latest.
    We all know that the latest stable works.

    BTW, do you still use the ad-blocker in Vivaldi? I decided to give it a try and I noticed that even when you choose to block only tracking, you still won't get to see any ads. Of course I did disable the ads and privacy filters in uBlock. So this basically confirms what we already knew, ads and trackers are interwoven with each other, that's the whole problem and the online ad-industry refuses to fix it strangely enough.

    Thanks for the heads-up, that's why I don't always update immediately.

    I assume this is some standalone .exe file? If it's really built-in then I considered it to be bloat and not cool at all.

    I like Vivaldi but I'm sick and tired of THE BIGGEST IRRITATION that Vivaldi brings to me.
    Vivaldi, you have assigned a special number/serial number/unique number to my Vivaldi.
    PLEASE, make a note,
    NEVER EVER checkmark that "Broadcast IP for Best(o_O) WebRT performance".

    Here is what I don't understand.
    I open Vivaldi - without any SANDBOXIE - go to Settings, Privacy, and uncheck "Broadcast IP for Best WEBRT performance".
    I close Vivaldi and reopen it.
    Guess what.
    I have that "Broadcast IP..." checked.
    I open Vivaldi as Admin.
    Uncheck that "Broadcast IP....", close it, then,
    I open it again, and that "Broadcast IP ...." is checked.
    What do I do wrong?
    P.S. It happens only on one Win10 computer.

    Same as anon above. The setting sticks for me.
    What build of Vivaldi are you using?
    What about trying a portable one and seeing if the setting sticks there, if it does there may be something up with your profile perhaps?

    I'm experiencing the same thing. I'm using version 3.4.2066.76 x64. I don't think with was a problem with previous builds.
