Adblock in Vivaldi
-
It works great, thank you!

Indeed works great! :evil:
But it's any way to install other Chrome extensions, too, even now? :unsure:

If you use the MEGA cloud service you can install the MEGA extension in similar fashion to Adblock.
Go to the MEGA menu at https://mega.co.nz and select Apps>Chrome App and click download link. -
I'd love to see Opera 12.xx URLFILTER.INI feature in Vivaldi.

Hi again all,
Sorry for the late reply.
In case you have realized by now, Vivaldi is currently based on Chromium Project (See Attached) and all Chrome commands in the address bar do work. However, the Devs appear to just have renamed the word "Chrome" with "Vivaldi".For a full list of commands you can use in Chrome and Vivaldi, please follow this link: chrome://about
(Copy and Paste in Address bar)I agree with sgarrand and you are also correct. I dont know why the adblock website direct link wouldnt work for you as after looking in debugging mode, going to https://getadblock.com and downloading there does exactly the same thing as when unpacking an extension.
But anyway, as long as you all have it installed for now
And in reply to vinczej: If you want Chrome Extentions, you cannot go to the chrome download store as it does recognize that is is not chrome, its a Chromium Project Browser. So you will have to go to the extention creators website. (adblocks Official website, MEGA offical site etc etc) Credit to Terryphi about MEGA. Well done Sir! Toby

Thanks. That is a addon that is really needed!
-
get stuff, didn't think of this!
although please be aware going to the adblockplus website and trying to install that adblocker will crash the browser
-
Recently I could install in Vivaldi the next extensions: AdBlock, Lyrics, MyVocabu, AddThis. And all works! :woohoo: (Of Course without extension buttons on address bar)
-
I've gotten a chrome extension that is not available outside the chrome store to install.

-
install the extension in chrome.
-
go to AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions on your computer.
-
There are folders with jumbled text, choose the one which corresponds with the chrome store url of the wanted extension, and copy the folder inside it.
-
paste the folder wherever you want (i.e. downloads).
-
go into the folder and rename "_metadata" to "metadata" (just remove the _).
-
in vivaldi go to vivaldi://chrome/extensions and select developer mode.
-
press the load unpacked extensions… button and navigate to the copied folder.
-
Press OK and it should install.
[/ol]
This method is not guaranteed to work, but it worked for me.

I done with the same way installing of extensions, except that I ported the extensions from the Opera Extensions folder.
Many cases it works fine (except the visible extension buttons, those are substituted with Rightclick).
Some cases installing is apparently fine , but extension seems to be not working. (E.g.: Pocket)
-
Just to let you know, I just went to getadblock.com hit the " + Get Adblock Now" button, and it just offered to install to Vivaldi - and worked!
This is on Windows 7 64bit.

AdBlock frequently crashes, especially while trying to use the Options page, but unlike ABP it doesn't take the browser down with it; also, I tried every trick I could think of to get uBlock (the auto-updating CRX that is, not the unpacked extension) to install, including editing the AdBlock home page with the Web Inspector to point to the uBlock extension ID, and it isn't working.
I hope that when Vivaldi leaves tech preview, it allows installation of extensions from outside the Web Store and gives us Windows users back the ability to install UserScripts the same way as extensions (TamperMonkey introduces some serious overhead).

i got this as well with adblock plus

Thanks a lot for that tip

You can use the following site to download any extension direct from the chrome webstore. I used this when Opera switched to chromium before there was an extension to do it automatically.
http://chrome-extension-downloader.com/
Yes, the domain name looks like some spammy crap because of all the dashes but it is legit. For the paranoid, here is a virustotal scan of the domain.

Simple.Install AdMuncher (free),the effectiveness of the super.Checked!
-
Ik have downloaded it, and now it works for Vivaldi, it doesn't show up in the extention bar.

^If you're referring to Ad Muncher, that's an external program that hooks into all browsers and filters network traffic, and it doesn't show up as a browser extension because it isn't one.
Although Ad Muncher is better than nothing, it's not as flexible as ABP, it doesn't yet work on HTTPS sites, and it injects an iframe from interceptedby.admuncher.com into every page that it's active on (which means you're effectively telling Ad Muncher's server logs what sites you're going to, a bad idea if you also use the Tor Browser or an I2P setup); I had to set up a large number of exceptions when I discovered that Ad Muncher was what was breaking some site.
I mean I like it as another layer of defense (I paid for a lifetime license a couple years ago, before it was free), but it's not a panacea.

Just FYI, when I said I wasn't able to get uBlock to install, I meant even after downloading the CRX file using that site and dragging it into the Extensions panel.

- What you need to do is extract the .crx file to it's own folder using 7-zip/Winrar. A .crx file is just a .zip file with a different file extension name.
- Open the folder you extracted the extension to and rename _metadata to metadata
- As posted earlier in this thread next you enable developer mode inside of the extentions pages and click load unpacked extension.
- Browse to the folder you extracted your .crx file to and click ok. Your extension will now be installed.

Operation is a success!
