Cardinaldata.net

I've a question. This morning my security application began blocking an outbound message from vivaldi.exe to cardinaldata.net. Adware. So, my question. Is this part of Vivalidi's tracking of usage stats? Or something else? I have Do Not Track and all such features checked in settings but maybe I'm missing one? Thanks for any insight. :^)

Searching for this particular adware (and how to get rid of it) online doesn't bring much up yet but I stumbled upon a post from 16hrs ago on the kaspersky forum where a few people reporting an infection on chrome with this.
I post the link below so you can keep an eye on it if they find a solution to this.

This is only happening in Vivaldi. No other browser, so what setting do I need change to fix this? Thanks!

vivaldi://serviceworker-internals
I looked there. Nothing about that site. It is limited to Vivaldi though. And it is happening on virtually every site I visit. Not on any other browser including Chrome.

@Gwen-Dragon I disabled ALL extensions then re-enabled them one at a time. It is the Flash Player extension. I guess leaving that disabled will take care of it. Thanks for the ideas. :^)
-
@genej101 How about you uninstall the extension?
-
@luetage Did. Removed it completely. No further issues. :^)

@Gwen-Dragon I'm pretty sure this is where I got it. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/search/flash player?hl=en-US
I wish Flash would just go away altogether. Soon, maybe. :^)

And it was this version…
Malicious extension is: Flash Player + saves favorite flashes and play them later.
