ad blocker not blocking all ads!

[peefy]

try it:
go to https://ihavenotv.com/what-is-reality-horizon

If you get the To continue watching press "Allow" just wait a few seconds and close the popup from the "X"

in brave browser now you get to see the video properly.
same with ublock origin ad blocker.
but in vivaldi you get redirected to porn, or get automatic junk downloads or redirected to other harmful sites.

please fix!

@peefy , video load flawless for me, with uBlock Origin, uBlock Origin Extra, Privacy Badger, Decentraleyes and ClearUrls Add On active. No popups, no redirect, no allow to continue messages, only a llittle banner on the top "Buy me a coffee..."

uBlock Filters in uBlock Origin block most of the annoyances there, the site also uses also a blockadblock.min.js which is filtered aswell.
uBlock Origin+uBlock Origin Extra and you're good to go.
Even if you import uBlock Filters in Vivaldi, it probably doesn't support yet all the filters syntax.

@iAN-CooG , I have all the uBO filters also in the Vivaldi adblocker, but at the moment I don't use it, until it allows me to selectively disable items as I can with the extension from the context menu

obviously touting the brave browser.

hi all,

thanks for your comments.

ublock origin works indeed, that is what i said in my first message,
but i want to use the native buildin vivaldi ad blocker (withoud ublock)!
But the vivaldi ad blocker does not block all these ads and popups.

At one time (some months ago) vivaldi did block all ads from the site ihavenotv.com , but then it stopped to do so. I do not know what was changed since then.

Anyway, I would love to use vivaldi without any extensions, and still being able to view sites with many ads like ihavenotv.com. Maybe vivaldi needs to add the ublock lists?

@Priest72 what a silly remark.
I am reporting a bug, in order to make vivaldi better!
Please abstain from flame wars here.

@peefy said in bug: ad blocker not blocking all ads!:

But you're reporting it in the wrong place, and there's not enough information to tell that it is actually a bug in Vivaldi. How to report bugs in Vivaldi.

Vivaldi doesn't choose which ads to block, you do, through the filter lists you enable. You need to figure out which filter is blocking the ad in the configurations which do block the ads. Then verify that you have enabled that filter in Vivaldi as well. Others have reported that they're able to visit the page in Vivaldi without seeing the ad -- this almost certainly indicates that the "bug" is with your configuration.

The longer, harder way to find the filter is to compare the lists you have enabled in Vivaldi to the ones you have enabled in a setup that does block the ad. The relevant filter will likely be in one of the filter lists you have enabled there that you don't have enabled in Vivaldi. Simply adding that filter list to your Vivaldi config hopefully will resolve the issue. If not, verify that the desired filter is indeed in the list to be certain you've got it enabled prior to filing a bug.

The easier way to find out which filter is responsible for blocking the ads you're seeing in Vivaldi is to use the uBlock Origin logger. Just open that up and find the URL for the ad (it'll be in red), click on the filter name, figure out which filter list is comes from, then go enable that filter list in Vivaldi. Again, this will likely resolve your issue. If it doesn't, try to verify you've got that filter enabled and no conflicting filter taking precedence over it. At that point, you might have found a bug in Vivaldi, and should follow the steps outlined in the page I linked above.

Thanks for all your detailed and useful answers guys!

obviously ad blocking is not so simple

[peefy]

@Catweazle Yes exactly, but I do not want to install other addblockers, as Vivaldi already has one!
So i hope that vivaldi adblocker gets improved soon, so we will not need other ones...

[Catweazle]

@peefy, I was referring to adding the aforementioned filters to Vivaldi's adblocker, not using another adblocker. Vivaldi's adblocker can be edited and can be expanded with the mentioned files.

[peefy]

@Catweazle Ah this is great info!
And where do you find those lists for "uBlock Origin, uBlock Origin Extra, Privacy Badger, Decentraleyes and ClearUrls" ?
It would be nice if Vivaldi offered those alternative lists too!

@peefy
Hi, I guess Vivaldi staff does not have the capacity to manage thousands of lists but there is: https://filterlists.com
Click on the list icon and copy link with right mouse button context menu from the appearing Home button.

Cheers, mib

[peefy]

@mib2berlin Ah this is amazing, thank you so much!
I dit not know such lists existed!
What one from filterlists do you use to block ihavenotv.com adds?

[mib2berlin]

@peefy
If you meant pop up and redirect the lists are not really working but you can block it with enable blocking it from padlock in the address bar.

Cheers, mib
