Can't use it in Vivaldi browser. The extension can't login to my Google Drive.

I love todo.txt and have been trying to use the original command line tool under linux and then the Chrome Extension and the Android App for my phone and tables. I try to keep all the files in sync using google drive, but for some reason the Chrome Extension and Android App won't stay in sync with updates I make from the linux command line. When I remove the file link under either and then to add it back it no longer sees the file in the google drive directory. I've been a supporter for a while, but can't seem to get it to work together, so I'm giving up on the Chrome Extension and Android app and moving to google tasks for tasks I need to keep synced across all my devices. :-(
