- Added Vivaldi browser cleaning
Vivaldi is installed on C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Vivaldi
Can someome helps me?
Thank you all
Hi Willi,
Vivaldi will be detected under Chrome as it is a Chromium browser.
If you double-click on the Analyze/Cleaning results you will see that CCleaner is in fact cleaning Vivaldi
I have both Google Chrome and Vivaldi installed, and I don't see any indication of CCleaner cleaning anything from a Vivaldi folder when I select analyze/clean from the Google Chrome results, should it say something specific about Vivaldi?
I have:
Woops, my bad... once I actually CLOSED Vivaldi, here is what I get in the detailed results log:

Thank you Anders, i've just seen

Since it's cleaning the Extension State and Session Storage make sure your extensions are working properly and are remembering your preferred settings such as adblocking software still having subscriptions, etc., and any other extensions that can be configured.
To see what I'm getting at have a look here:
As I posted in “Vivaldi Speed Dials”, CCleaner handles other derivative browsers such as Vivaldi as Google chrome. The user data of other derivative browsers are detected and deleted as Google browser even the lacations of other browser.
As I posted in “Vivaldi Speed Dials”, CCleaner deletes jumplist (maybe related to speed dial) and then the speed dials are also deleted!
I usually use Avant Browser (http://www.avantbrowser.com/) and it has Chrome engine inside, and the user data are cleared by CCleaner.
I think CCleaner should handle the derivative chrome browsers as separate browser, and do not clear the other derivative browsers!
As I posted in "Vivaldi Speed Dials", CCleaner deletes jumplist (maybe related to speed dial) and then the speed dials are also deleted!
To save anyone duplicating an answer, I've provided a workaround for that ...
