@jackyan @Vivaldi , I am really not sure what you are talking about. Where are you seeing this message?

@jon @Vivaldi Hi Jon, it comes up on my notification screen. Unfortunately, this is the one screen from which I cannot grab a screenshot. It says Vivaldi needs Google services or something like that to run. I assume this is something left behind inside Chromium; Bromite didn’t show this.
If I have a second phone handy I’ll be happy to take a photo of my main phone.

@jon @Vivaldi Hi Jon, here it is. Sorry about the quality, I took it with a seven-year-old phone.

Notification saying Vivaldi browser won't work without Google Play services.

@jackyan That message is not coming from the browser but rather from the system. Have you changed the Vivaldi app's default permissions? Does Vivaldi work at all despite that message showing up? What happens if you dismiss the notification?

@Vivaldi Thank you. Without looking it up, I wouldnʼt know how to change permissions. Vivaldi works fine, which is why the message is annoying. I dismiss it, it returns either later in the day or the next day. It doesnʼt happen on Bromite or earlier Chromium browsers Iʼve tried, though not sure if those other browsers were on this phone (they were a while back).
It is rare for me to see this message, as most things I use donʼt need Google.

@jackyan It could be referring to some app permissions (like the ability to show push notifications). You can try disabling them to see if the error message still appears.
