Hmmm, that's weird, I didn't even realize this feature existed until I read your post. Guess I have always had it disabled, and I've never run into the issue. Have you also deleted the default bookmarks? The address bar will prefer bookmarks when you start typing an address, so if you don't delete the default ones that come with Vivaldi, they might be autocompleting?
I did delete the bookmarks, yes. I'll have to keep playing with it and see if I can make it stop, but it does make me feel a little better knowing what it is. I just wish they were more open and transparent about it. Seeing my browser just randomly redirecting me through third party links with no warning is alarming and makes me want to go find another browser and I've gone through like 6 in the last 2 years trying to find one I like.
