💫 Looking for desktop app com.1password.1password background.js:2 📤 Sending <NmRequestAccounts> message to native core <2411649616> background.js:2 Received <BrowserVerificationFailed> from the native core background.js:2

Using Vivaldi (6.5.3206.50 (Stable channel) stable (64-bit)) on Arch Linux.
installed from the official package in the https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/vivaldi/ repository.

1password is installed from the official https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/1password

tried with both 1password running in background (1password --silent) and in the foreground.

update1:
Checked the 1password BrowserSupport logs and found,

I could've sworn vivaldi used to be a supported browser.

update2:
a workaround is to follow this script: https://gist.github.com/kiwimato/2459f68cc711235002e21b0e5868a7f4

Hi @Derock,

Vivaldi is currently not on our supported list. However, like you discovered you can added it to the custom_allowed_browsers file.

Here's how to do it for others who may run into this issue:

Open a terminal, and run sudo mkdir /etc/1password (if you've done this already, you can skip it).
Run cd /etc/1password.
Run sudo nano custom_allowed_browsers.
Feel free to use your preferred text editor in place of nano
Paste in the appropriate browser binary name - such as vivaldi-bin.
Save the file - in Nano, this is done by Ctrl+x -> y -> Enter
In terminal, run sudo chown root:root /etc/1password/custom_allowed_browsers && sudo chmod 755 /etc/1password/custom_allowed_browsers
Run 1Password - it will read our new config file and make the appropriate connections.
