Key notes
Vivaldi is a browser with a lot of unique features and performance. It works on Chromium, a web browser project employed by several other browsers. Often, users complain about Vivaldi not syncing data on their devices.
Like every other browser, Vivaldi is a work in progress with its downside and a fair share of issues, includingVivaldi not loading web pages. But problems with it are usually rare and easy to fix. So, let’s find out all about the problem at hand.
Why is Vivaldi not syncing?
Here are a few reasons you might be encountering the problem:
One of the pros of Vivaldi is the Sync feature. It allows you to synchronize your Vivaldi account information and data across your devices.
For example, Vivaldi syncs bookmarks for you to access them on another computer with your account. Also, Vivaldi syncs tabs, passwords, and notes across your devices.
What can I do if Vivaldi is not syncing?
Before we head to the slightly complex fixes, here are a few quick ones you can try:
In case nothing worked, head to the solutions listed next.
1. Update Vivaldi
2. Make sure the sync settings are in order
Once done, check Vivaldi is now syncing the data that it could not do earlier. In case the problem persists, head to the next solution.
3. Reset remote data
Oftentimes, issues with the remote data can lead to Vivaldi not syncing, and a quick fix is to delete it. You may have to do it a couple of times over days, as reported by some users.
Remember, this only deletes information from the Vivaldi server, and that stored locally remains unaffected.
4. Delete the user data folder
That’s it! In most cases, you should be able to get things up and running when Vivaldi is not syncing by recreating the user data when it’s corrupt.
5. Manually sync Vivaldi
That’s it! If nothing previously worked, manually syncing data between the two devices should do the trick when automatic syncing is not working on Vivaldi. Also, find the best ways tolower Vivaldi’s CPU usagefor optimal PC performance.
If you still encounter the problem, switch to a more reliable browser. Check our list of thebest browsers for PCand choose the one that best suits your requirements.
