I have used Edge and LibreWolf so far, would like to replace Edge as my browser due to the ongoing privacy scandals. With Edge I got browser notifications by default via notifications in Windows 11, with LibreWolf I was able to switch it to receive Desktop- instead of Browser-notifications. Does this option exist in Vivaldi, if so where can I find it?

    I’m probably misunderstanding what you mean. In Windows 10 in-app notifications are the desktop notifications. They function the same.

      What I’m looking for is called alerts.useSystemBackend in Firefox/LibreWolf, described here. Notifications of all apps at one place. Like when you swipe down from the top of the screen on Android or swipe from the right on Windows.

        It’s default for Windows 10’s Action Center not sure about Windows 11’s Notification Center but I image it should be the same as Vivaldi uses Chromium backend.

          This is what I get on Vivaldi instead. A little pop-up appearing for a few seconds - and if I have been afk in the second of appearing, it’s lost.

          That’s the same default case in Firefox/LibreWolf that I’ve changed by switching alerts.useSystemBackend. So that’s the setting I’m looking for now.

              Tried this, restarted Vivaldi, still the same.

                  Ok, it’s finally confusing: Now that I installed Vivaldi on my (W11-)Detachable with settings synced, I get all notifications via Windows notifications the way it should be. 🤷‍♀️
