Buggy adblocker

Hi,
"More" sources
At least easier to pick

@AryanDevasagayaum You simply cannot expect lists-based blockers to catch everything.

Vivaldi's blocker is somewhat limited, especially compared to uBlock, and is intended for casual users to handle most of the ads out there. It is not intended for super-users who want more control.

If you want complete control, use uBlock. I use it myself because it offers options like a logger and easier adding of personal rules.

Other than that, I suggest you investigate these ads you see, and make issues on the relevant blocklist Github pages. The rules of the lists is not controlled by Vivaldi at all.

@AryanDevasagayaum had the same problem with reddit promoted content. In my case I found that some lists were making that reddit promoted content show. If I remember correctly they were ublock lists and after I removed them the content stoped showing.

I think ublock lists like https://raw.githubusercontent.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/master/filters/filters.txt
are buggy with vivaldi adblocker.

@Pathduck Ok that will do. But it would be great if the dev team could buff up their blocker a bit with MV3 slowly coming up.

[AryanDevasagayaum]

@Zalex108 Thanks but I already got these up.

For me the adblocker works reasonably well, what doesn't work for me at all, neither with the filters in Vivaldi nor using extensions, is to suppress these damn "We use cookies" pop-ups, which appear on practically all pages.

@Catweazle

The Cookies lists works mostly here on Mobile.

Some sites are still broken till, Disable, Choose, Enable but usually, few og them.

[Catweazle]

@Zalex108, I just like to know what sick mind has devised these annoying pop-ups that warn you that they are going to put cookies yes or yes and that you must accept on top of that.

I'm now trying this one as last intent.

The sames involved in forcing the 2030 Agenda and all the Freedom limitations around the world.

On Desktop I don't see them since using uBlock, on Mobile is where sometimes happens.

As I say, sick minds

@Pathduck

This is what I meant too. With Ublock Origin and any other adblocker you have those.

But with the vivaldi adblocker even with additional filters we have... that
