:@TheBestPessimist , you can add it's filters without a problem
it's not just about the filters, it's about the UI, it's about the "element picker mode" and the easy way to disable bad CSS, about the CNAME resolution and filtering.
It's about how easy it is to work with existing filters, how they give you multiple lists you can chose from.

:Well uBO is the king of all addblockers. Nothing comes even close.
can't argue with that
You can say it's also about the time investment from Vivaldi: as a developer, i believe it's sometimes easier to take a product and build around it. In the case of Vivaldi and uBlock Origin, as ublock already does everything and works as expected with Vivaldi right now, maybe there is a way to incorporate it with less work than would be needed to improve the current add-blocker.

:@guigirl I would like it if vivaldi came with gorhil's ublock baked in.
Please explain to me what the difference would be if uBO was "baked in".
Or rather that it would improve?

If I remember correctly, it's been mentioned in posts or in blog articles that Vivaldi's native adblocker is written in C or C++ , while as its known all extensions are written in JS, meaning once Manifest V3 officially kicks in, uBO and other "on top" extensions which depend on Google's APIs will become useless. So it's better Vivaldi actively further develops its own Adblock engine which can more directly talk to various APIs or replace them, than base on gorhill's -soon to be crippled- JS code. Ofc we haven't seen V's definitive plans regarding Manifest V3, as there is still time, but they told they were keeping an eye on it and the native (precompiled) adblocking engine was the first step against it.

I agree, and V-team could improve its own Adblocker anytime by added the core features from uBO and its UI.
BTW very nice new fancy signature you're having there
It's like saying I am using Arch BTW. -

yep, they should translate them to C/C++, thing is, I haven't read about any? further work on their adblocker since its inception, for example the CNAMEs, so I'm not that optimistic tbh.

Firefox Nightly Tries For VA-API Video Acceleration For Mesa Users
Good thing we have someone actually using Nightly so I guess we 'll be first to know how it goes
-
@npro All good so far. I set it to true in
about:configmonths ago. I mean, i had to, right? Sometimes Nightly is just so far off the bleeding edge unless i help it here & there...Oh, wait a minute. How do i do a word-replace for "i" to "someone"? Oh merde, did i just ask that using my Outside Voice?

There is always a Beta for you
-
@Stardust What, choose to go from alpha to beta? Just how crazy do you think i am?
-
@guigirl said in I cheat on Vivaldi with Firefox
:What, choose to go from alpha to beta?
Yup, it's still not stable
-
@Stardust I prefer to match my browsers to my personality... Very Unstable.

Super silly sausage...

The Quantum-Nox-Firefox-Dark-Full-Theme for multiline tabs not works with 101.0 so I follow your advice to use Sidebery:
Fortunately it still works the autohide address bar part of the Mod.

@barbudo2005 said in I cheat on Vivaldi with Firefox
:use Sidebery
Heehee, yay. IMO Sidebery is quite fantastic. Even though i do so much teasing [/trolling?] here in our forum about wanting native TST in V [which i really do!], in my FF-Nightly i superseded TST with S many months ago once i got the hang of its settings & discovered just how powerful it is [ie, TST is brilliant; S is even better].
Just imagine if we had that functionality in V, AND combined with V's tab previews? It'd be superb!
Wait, what? Hang on ... is your pic just a graphical mock-up, or actually real? We can't truly install Mozilla AOs in V, can we? I feel extra stupid even for asking that question out loud.

It is real.
What do you mean by "We can't truly install Mozilla AOs in V, can we?" Please explain.

:Please explain
When i replied to your post, i thought you were only joking. But then i began wondering if [considering you are more knowledgeable than me] maybe we can somehow download a Firefox AddOn, then install it into V. So, my simple question is...
did you really install Sidebery into Vivaldi?
