Automatic element hiding in the blocker – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1874.30
-
Excellent! I can now use https://easylist.to/easylist/fanboy-annoyance.txt to block cookie warnings! It would be nice to be able to manually select elements to block like with uBO, but I can do that easy enough by writing a local filter list.

@lonm: Not that I can make any promises on behalf of the Dev, but one thing at the time?
-
@Alacho whaaat? You mean you can't just magically wave a wand and do it all at once?

Just a small comment on the slient updates. You can enable/disable them from the update dialog window. There is only a change for macOS for the time being. Linux already effectively does this and Windows will come at a later stage.
P.S. If you are a mac user using tricks to run stable and snapshot side by side (not actually a supported setup), do not enable this or you are very likely to cross streams and may mess up your setup. Keep updates manual

Nice fixes. Tnx for the PIP progress bar :3
Waiting for Win Silent Updates (for parent PCs) -
@Ruarí I initially stopped using the inbuilt adblocker, because most of the imported rules were either unsupported or invalid and it didn't really do enough blocking. Moreover I'm already running a custom hosts file on the system, so I didn't need the malware lists. I re-added some of the lists and it seems like more rules are supported now, that's a big improvement. Will give this a try over the next days.
-
@LonM The annoyance list is good and cookie warning blocking is indeed a part of it, but over the last years it let more and more cookie warnings through. The original (and better) list to deal with the warnings was Prebake, but it isn't being maintained any more. Sadly there is currently no working list I know of stopping these notices. I turned to using a dedicated extension, which works fine, but if anyone knows about a list that works comparably well, I'd be interested.
-
@alacho: wish we could get one feature completed before you start a new one, mouse gestures are still waiting for rocker config, toolbar customization is merely POC and you are doing yet another thing (that will likely be disabled and replaced by uBO anyway cause you'll oversimplify it)
-
@luetage: idcac has abp compatible list you can use in your blocker, but the extension itself has some extra features, some warnings require js injection iirc
-
@luetage I dropped IDCAC time ago due some site breakage (badly coded sites with the cookie warning in the header or so on).
I'll try the adblock list or another chance to the extension as the EU cookies screen is horrible as User Experience.
[I have to say the developer fix the site if you report as an issue. Which is cool] -
@luetage Yes, it's a little better now, but still many rules are unsupported or marked as broken (try to import uBlock lists). It would be great to see some improvements in this field in the future. For now I stay with uBlock.
-
@mozzer Yeah, the ublock specific lists are mostly unsupported and that hasn't changed. But not sure what they do exactly and if essential to me, will probably find out over the next days.
-
@luetage Even the IDCAC list? (Guess I'll go and try)
-
@Hadden89 No, that one works, but it's not a ublock internal(?) list.
-
Some menu entries in the Vivaldi menu (Edit, Tools, for example) are not translated into Swedish in snapshot 1874.30 running Slackware Linux when LANG=sv_SE is set as an environment variable in .bash_profile.
-
@luetage Is not. The site say ABP|UBO ruleset list. But it also suggest to use the extension for better results.
I actually use NanoAdblocker which has slightly different lists. -
@gwen-dragon: I will check the stable version 2.11 as well to confirm. Yes, it's only in the snapshot.
-
@ruarí: silent updates? no way, changelogs are the best thing in a software

I think there might have been some changes in how these things are handled in the translation system. I can see 3 instances of "Tools" there:
- Chromium
- Vivaldi Mac
- Vivaldi Win/Linux
I would guess that stable is using the Chromium string, while the snapshot is using the appropriate Vivaldi string. Since I've been lagging behind on translations recently (got a lot of stuff in my life right now) and I'm the only Swedish translator at the moment, not all new strings have been translated yet.
I'll make sure it's done before the next stable release, though.
