Can't add Drive database in Vivaldi browser

[tonyrulez]

This issue is a

• [x] bug
• [ ] feature
• [ ] question

Please describe the current behavior, and explain why it's bad.

I recently switched to Vivaldi, but the Google Drive database access doesn't work. Reproduction:

In freshly installed Tusk, when I turn on Google Drive database, it asks for a permission. After I gave it the permission, it still says disabled, however the switch is turned on. Tried restarting both the browser and the computer, but it never works.

System informations

Vivaldi | 1.14.1077.60 (Stable channel) (32 bit) KeePass Tusk | 2018.2.25 OS | Windows 10.0.16299 build 16299 (64 bit)

Vivaldi is an unsupported browser. That being said, I'll be happy to take a look and see if it's an easy fix.

Thanks for the report.

Found the obvious culprit:

chrome.identity.getAuthToken({
                interactive : true
            }, function(token) {console.log(token)});

The above function is "implemented" in vivaldi but actually does nothing. It tricks Tusk into believing that we are on Chrome, but then cannot answer when the function is actually called.

As Vivaldi is based on Chrome, it is virtually undetectable from code. I will need to fall back to using WebAuthFlow for google drive in vivaldi, but the code has no way of detecting a difference.

As far as I can tell, the only way would be to add an isVivaldi checkbox in the advanced settings page.

Im not sure why this issue was closed.

Accidentally because of merging #164, i added a keyword in the Pull Request. Sorry my bad.

Because of that I would mark the issue as wontfix, vivaldi developers are not making it easy for extensions to be cross-compatible. I'd even go as far out as to say it's more of a browser bug.

And since we have limited developer capacity I think supporting such browser fork with miniscule userbase is not our top priority. We're happy to accept contributions though :)

Okay, maybe this is not quite belong here, but i found a temporary solution to the problem. The basic authentication didn't work, but, if you chose the "use another account" and fill the fields (again) you can login: [https://i.imgur.com/RQv2vOe.png]

Could you elaborate?

Beginning with the manage databases screen, you click the "enable" switch and what happens? How do you get to a page that let's you "use another account"?

Would also be interested to know. Latest Vivaldi Update still no fix.
