Has anyone else noticed that Vivaldi seems to hate OpenSUSE?

There’s always parts missing.

That’s a well-known issue with most all browsers based on Chromium, and Vivaldi is based on Chromium.

Hang tight … let me search for the fix … okay, found it, check this Reply by myswtest:

Chromium and chromium based browsers (Vivaldi) not displaying content correctly

I had a similar issue recently with Chrome, Chrome Beta, Brave … no doubt Chromium will have it too. This fix works for me. For each affected app, I had to delete the associated GPUCache sub-directory. There is quite a few to delete, search for them like this find ~/ -type d -name GPUCache (in the users home directory) They can all be deleted in one fell swoop with: find ~/ -type d -name GPUCache -exec rm -rf {} + … but do it at your own risk. I actually renamed them to “GPUCache–ho…

This corruption happened to me on both my TW machines, with the last massive update. Yes, it affected my Chrome, Brave, and Opera browsers (also all based on Chromium). And it does happen now and then. I simply run the command found at the link above (to find and remove GPUCache subdir) and the browser magically works again.

BTW, this side effect is not just found on openSuse … other users of different distros also report the problem.
