This is a question for all Vivaldi users out there.

Starting somewhere over the last couple of days, when I open the browser, there is now a pinned Google tab that I never opened and do not want to open when I start my browser. In fact, I don't ever want a Google tab to open.

I assume this is due to an update recently, so does anyone know how I can disable this from happening, please?

Anyone on the @Vivaldi team that knows what is causing this?

@cliffwade @Vivaldi all I can say is I'm not seeing this on my Vivaldi setups (2 laptops with it installed). Both updated as well.

@andrewmelder Thanks! I don't know if it's a setting somewhere, though I've not changed any settings, or if it's possibly an extension that is doing it.

It's truly annoying and I just can't seem to track it down to save my life.

@cliffwade @Vivaldi my guess would be a rouge extension somehow, but it is weird.

[cliffwade@infosec.exchange]

@andrewmelder Well, seems that might have been it. I removed two extensions that I really didn't need, and restarted the browser and now it's not doing it.

I'll have to test this in my Windows install too, because it happens there, and I have the same two extensions installed there I'm pretty sure.
