I found this in temp folder install_worker.cc(150)] Failed creating a firewall rules. Continuing with install. I don't see any firewall rules, Am I doing something wrong?

Do you use any third party anti virus software with strong settings?

used to be with the vertical tab and auto hide vertical tab

You can put the Tab Bar vertically on the side of the browser window in Vivaldi too. There's no auto hide option yet, but the feature request on the Vivaldi forum already has a fair amount of upvotes, so the likelihood of it getting implemented is there. You can add your vote here. For now, you could create a keyboard shortcut or a mouse gesture for toggling the visibility of the Tab Bar.
Instead of the Tab Bar you could view and manage your Tabs from the Window Panel, which is also on the side of the window and does have the auto hide option. Or use Quick Commands.

Sorry for the late replies.

@Purpleroses, I'd wait for a new version and see how installing that goes. I don't know how important it is in your case, but once Vivaldi 5.4 is out, you could download the latest version from the website and install it over your current install instead of updating to the latest from inside the browser. If you still see the error then, please report a bug on Report a Bug | Vivaldi Browser, so the dev team could look into it. Include information about your firewall setup as well.

@EnvioX, thanks for giving Vivaldi another try and sharing your thoughts on it.
Some comments. You might have figured things out on your own already, but sharing in case someone else also wonders.

1. auto hide vertical tab
2. custom suspend/hibernate tab timer
3. clear history cookies etc. (with option and exception cookies clean) on exit
4. ability to disable build-in feature (i will disable this):
4.a. ad block … I really love ublock and it ability to block some custom tag not only for ads
4.b. translator... I use google translator ..why... Bahasa Indonesia better translated from google translate

1. It's currently not possible to auto hide the Tab Bar, but if you use the Window Panel, then you can set the floating panel to close when it loses focus. You can upvote the feature request here: Option to Autohide Tab Bar '/' UI | Vivaldi Forum
2.Please upvote the feature request here: set custom time to hibernate tab | Vivaldi Forum.
3. Settings > Privacy and Security > History / Cookies > select Session only. Then the data will be deleted on exit. Additional cookie settings can be found on 'chrome://settings/cookies'.
4a. Set blocking level in the browser to No Blocking (Settings > Privacy and Security > Tracker and Ad Blocking).
4b. Settings > General > Language > disable Automatically Offer to Translate Pages.

i think this is impossible feature:
1. alt+tab between application and browser tab

Probably not impossible, but likely very difficult.

@Lance1
I'm so glad to hear that after some initial trouble you easily managed to add all your mail accounts to Vivaldi.

One question though. To use the mail client in the browser, it's not necessary to have a Vivaldi account (in the browser, only Sync requires a Vivaldi account). What gave the impression that you first needed a Vivaldi account?

My government is called Vivaldi. While I don't think it's over the top, I vastly prefer to stay in Portable Firefox running under Sandboxie-Plus, the latter is to help better protect against the children of course.

Have you given the Window Panel in Vivaldi a try? If you set it to float (right-click on the Window Panel button > floating panel > this panel) it will automatically hide when you focus elsewhere in the browser.

not for latest update i plan tomorow i will re install vivaldi with new version
because i still have problem with my web custom zoom level ( iforgot where i post that... but the zoom is not permanent in some condition it will return to default)

After posting, I actually realized that I had already answered that question in the past. Oops!
But I guess it was worth it if you'll give Vivaldi a new try.
Regarding Zoom, you can test toggling the Use Tab Zoom setting off and on in Settings > Webpages.

If you have more questions or need help, let me know.
