We are aware of a number of users reporting black screens or windows after upgrading to Vivaldi 2.5 and above. This is not something we have reproduced. Nonetheless, today’s build includes a tentative fix. If it works and it causes no other issues we will backport the fix and issue a minor update to Vivaldi 2.5 stable in the near future.

Known Issues

The new accept language setting (VB-3355, below) is incomplete
