Built-in adblocker is a good thing.
But don't even think about dropping uBlock Origin support

iPristy

@legobuilder26: Yes if typed something that's not in Vivaldi options it defaults back to private window theme.

Why Vivaldis built in adblocker does not block domains, I completely block facebook using ||facebook.com^ but it does not work.

[New][Themes] Allow the use of a sperate theme for private windows (VB-28543)

typo
"sperate" instead of separate

MasterLeo29

Nice addition. My suggestion : the option to also set a different speed dial background image. other than that

[Windows][Crash] Fails to start on 10 pro N edition if media pack is not install (VB-68691)

Great fix!

I don't see the need for the "Private Theme" at all.

If the user has not selected a different theme for Private windows, just show the current theme in Settings, Private Window Theme
If the user has selected a different theme to the current theme, then show that as selected when opening a private window.

@vort: How would that even work? I've never heard of a browser selectively banning extensions, have you?

It's a good thing this page has a "Download Vivaldi" button which haunts you every step of the way down the page. If not for that button, it never would have occurred to me to download Vivaldi.

It's not what he meant, he simply means he won't stop using uBO, and I'm with him, it's too superior than current Vivaldi abilities.
In any case, if an extensions ID is banned on chrome store and you have it installed from chrome store, it will be disabled in Vivaldi aswell automatically when the extensions update check is performed by the browser.

@ian-coog: I hope the store never does such a thing. I had to play that game once with one that they had dropped but which I was still using. I had to re-enable it practically every day because they kept disabling it. Eventually I gave up and sideloaded the version from GitHub, which is something we could always do with uBO should it happen.

BTW, it's interesting that we don't hear much anymore about the structural changes coming(?) to extensions. That was all anyone could talk about early in the year. The default filter count for uBO (even if you then thrown in Fanboy's Annoyances, which is a big one) is now well below the 200K threshold that was rumored to be the hard line beyond which the new system wouldn't go. If 200K does come to pass, maybe it won't be a big deal for most people after all. I wonder if there has been some filter consolidation to keep the number down.

The colour variables being used for the secondary parts of the url are illegible on dark themes as is the new caution icon.

And on light themes they do not emphasize the domain

A simple workaround would be to use a fg on the domain and a soft transparency on the rest

@sjudenim: I think you are going to need to give details of your theme setup as I see neither of these issues in any of the default themes. Also, have you done any modding because it looks like you have and hence have broken it for yourself.

Here it is with an unmodded vivaldi using a couple of the pre-installed default themes

[Address Bar] URL is encoded regardless setting (VB-70978)

Which setting?
The Highlight Base Domain in Address setting still not working unchecked.

It has been done several times, when a extension is found to be malicious or just slightly not complying with their terms, it's simply blacklisted and removed, and it's the extension dev duty to provide a complying version to be readmitted.

@Ruarí

I removed colour mods to test that.

Here is a theme

and without any mods this is the result

Is there a way to disable ALT for V menu, hard to play games from archive.org if V menu keeps popping up when ALT key is pressed, no problems with Edge.

Pathduck

@iPristy Yes

Settings > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts.

The better solution (IMO) is to use the Disable Keyboard Shortcuts hotkey, by default umapped.

iPristy

@pathduck: Yes, thanks i found it as ALT for main menu is now disabled.
