No I don't have a pancake on my head.
This is hugh and series!
Wondered if either of you-all, or your lists, would be able to help.
I used Vivaldi a few years ago on a Windows 7 work laptop, and did NOT have that problem. I like Vivaldi because it has a proper menu bar, not the stupid hamburger.
I did not have that problem. I suspect that you have another program (anti-malware?) that thinks that Vivaldi is Chrome and is running interference. Just a guess.

The Windows auto-update will sometimes screw up the registry. Also updates to apps, especially browsers, will silently try to take ownership of extensions. My Chrome update last week decided it wanted to own “.pdf” which I despise as Acrobat Reader is the only correct way to work with them (despite the fact we cannot get rid of that stupid helper panel on the right).
I suspect it will get worse under Windows 11, although the UI is a little better.
Offhand, I’d say updates or a registry cleaner. I had my anti-virus package “protect” me by doing that to a couple of my extensions, too, but that’s been a while ago.
Here’s an odd one for you.
Something is messing with your registry..................
Before You do anything else- Try putting the pancakes on your head, see if that helps- lol
Can’t offer suggestion- sounds like an odd one to me-
Go back to Opera v80.0.4173.63 and stay away from Vivaldi.
Start button> Control Panel> Set your default programs
On the left side locate the web browser you want as the default and click on it.
At the bottom right column click on:
Set this program as default
