Incorporate "I don't care about cookies" functionality

barbudo2005

The functionality of the list is much less than that of the extension.

@barbudo2005 I guess, but on Mobile we can't use Extensions.

On desktop I use uBlock till cut, and don't know what happens on extensions like that so VAdblocker will be needed at some point.

@Zalex108 This is a desktop feature request though. I still don’t care about cookies works fine, we’ll see how it holds up in future and whether the new developer will have the time to keep it up to date and improve it.

Sorry, I meant Desktop.

I am very thankful that Vivaldi on android incorporates an ad-blocker, and even more so on Desktop because "The winter is coming, and full of terrors"

Thanks,

Was on my side who mixed Desktop/Mobile AdBlocker since it's on both and if not mistaken they share the same Lists.

There's an Issue opened to enable a ublock module so maybe would be added to the V AdBlocker as week, at least as an option despite the differences with the extension.

Thx for pointing me out the mistake.

I use these lists with vivaldi's content blocker:

They don't catch everything, but it does help.

Why add it to Vivaldi, what advantage would it have?

When I opened up a new install of Brave yesterday, I was greeted with a popup option to enable auto-consent to the cookies notice. I thought it was brilliant, and of inestimable advantage. Not everyone wants to muck around with extensions, never mind lists. Not everyone even knows there is a solution available for the cookie notice problem. If V wants users, it has to strive to be user-friendly.

I even can fool around with lists, etc, but I'm not going to. I would rather use an extension. But inbuilt would be best of all, especially for the non-power user.

@paul1149 I just read about the Brave feature ☛ https://brave.com/privacy-updates/21-blocking-cookie-notices/ and they just use the cookiemonster list @LonM mentioned above. This can be easily achieved in Vivaldi, just add the list origin to the blocker https://secure.fanboy.co.nz/fanboy-cookiemonster.txt. But imo these lists have little capability and do nothing. Brave does a good job at advertising it and bringing it to the front when starting using the browser, but they haven’t really done anything worthwhile. This is best handled by an extension, which, depending on the extension, can block far more annoying notices with Javascript and even auto‐reject cookies (instead of consenting everything).

Hi, both lists fail to import, Vivaldi 5.6.

@mib2soprano Imports just fine. What does happen when you try to import?

Thanks, mib

@mib2soprano I don’t know whether you delete cookies on browser exit, but if you do, a visit to youtube should be enough to clarify why lists are not enough. Can’t get rid of the consent form of youtube any other way. This is just one obvious example, but there are many many more sites, which nag you with forms which can’t be dealt with using a block list alone.

@mib2soprano Try on a fresh profile, there is no reason the list shouldn’t work.

@luetage
Hm, don´t work on a clean profile.
I want not spend more time on this, thank you.

Cheers, mib

Yes, I'm sure. But people here are missing the point. Most people don't want to get involved with their browser. They just want it to work. MS became rich by making things easy for people. Of course, being evil, they also took away their power of choice, but still they made products that the average person could use without having to get deeply involved with. If V wants to grow it should be looking for ways to accommodate the people who are not nerds. Whether Brave's solution is better than a list in V is beside the point. It is fairly functional, and it is brilliant marketing.

@paul1149 The people who aren’t nerds first of all don’t know what a browser is, and secondly would never change the default browser. They use Chrome on Android, Safari on iOS and Edge or Chrome on Windows. These users aren’t worth targeting. And again, forget about the lists, it’s only a bandaid and doesn’t help in preventing cookie notices, for that you need the help of javascript, ergo an extension. Of course browsers could create their own version of this, but Brave did not do that at all. This would be work.
