Manifest v3 update: Vivaldi is future-proofed with its built-in functionality
-
@mib2berlin, I use LibertyBear, I think it's a v3 Violentmonkey fork. Anyway, for same reasons as with the adblockers, an inbuild script manager will be a good idea, IMHO.
The Chrome Store is less and less a trustworth source for me, full of extensions without any indication of authors or homepage or links leading to 404, same as Google Play in Android. -
@Preorian You can do both (Firefox and Vivaldi side by side). I use both because sadly a lot of websites are optimised for Chromium based browsers (and not minor websites either). Glad to have Vivaldi for that.

That is a request towards Vivaldi dev team to enhance the Vivaldi Blocker and to forum team to write an article about adblock rules and lists.
The standard is uBO, so what the team has to do is to allow all uBO default lists to work.
Because lists will still be available, including those developed by uBO.
Following your idea, there should be an article that categorizes the different types of lists that uBO uses, i.e.
Type 1:
Type 2:
Type 3:
Type 4:
And explain which type is already available, and as new ones are added, so that in June 2025 the list of filters will be the same as this one:
In other words a methodical project that has defined steps.

You don't have to be very astute to see that the ad problem is only going to get worse. There is no doubt that this is a war.
Therefore, I believe without a doubt that this "project" is the most challenging and important for the team since the beginning of Vivaldi.
There are 12 months left and I expect from the team that at the end of every month we will see progress in the topic, because in engineering if you don't have a Gantt chart of the topics you want to achieve, you won't reach the deadline with something solid.
This project will put the team in a showcase in front of the users:
Is it going to be this?
Or this?

@barbudo2005, for me it's enough that our devs are better than those from Google. One only dev has fight at eye level, gorehill, until Google changed the rules in the middle of the game.
Anyway, i one year a lot of things can ocurre and always where is a law, also exist methodes to surround it.

@Catweazle could you share this script please?
-
@Djskayoser. I had shed it already several times, but well, it's this one
https://openuserjs.org/scripts/Kraust/Youtube_Embed_Redirect
It's a very little script of few lines, install it in a userscript manager (Violentmonkey, Greasymonkey, LibertyBear, or any other).
How it works.
Every time when you click in a YouTube link, open a video in the YouTube page in a new tab, or reload a Video, it will open the video in embedded form, where you can watch it without any ad or nags, in a full tab page.You can do this also by hand, editing the YT URL
fromhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxxxxxto
https://www.youtube.com/embed/xxxxxxxxxBut it is a very small script of 4 lines and it's more confortable as editing always the URL, apart an Userscript Manager is anyway a very usefull extension, because you can also install more scripts with functions and tools, inexistent in the Chrome Store.
You can find hundreds of scripts in
Greasyfork.org or Openuserjs.org(filter it by the last update, because some scripts a pretty old and not updated since years and maybe don't work as they should, most important in YouTube scripts that they are not too old. Well, not so important in this small embed redirect script, it only edits the URL, nothing else)

FYI, if uBlock in it's current rendition ever isn't fully supported on Vivaldi, I will be switching immediately. Please prioritize this and plan on forking away from Chromium if necessary.
-
@kalebepalacioo: youtube?
-
@pathduck: Simple banner ads aren't the issue, please don't frame it as such. uBlock Origin is the only way to block YouTube and other, far more annoying and intrusive, ads and malware.
-
@wolvenspectre: This.
-
@thewiley: you might want to read sponsorblock's reply to the same-stream ad problem. they cannot account and deal for it. it's a very simple plugin.. nothing like uBO and does not address the same issues by a long shot.

your loss not ours
-
@zakius: this is not sufficient. uBO will always be better than other, even dedicated, solutions as it is the most actively developed over years.
-
@supra107: Well said. Sounds like Vivaldi needs to read their own mission statement.
-
Threats are ridiculous and even pathetic.

They have announced their plan. It's an official announcement, they don't ask for your opinion on what to do with V3.
They announced that they won't build a new browser from scratch or fork chromium to keep V2.
This thread is about the development of Vivaldi's built-in functionality because of V3.
If you want to keep using uBO you should start looking for another browser.
They have considered you will abandon them if they won't make a new browser, but they are willing to lose you. -

Do not threaten.
How is a statement from a user that suggests losing a feature important to them, a threat?
I totally understand the comment. Ads have gotten to the point of complete insanity on the Internet and losing the ability to successfully deal with them on a platform of choice is a kick in the rear.
-
@frostbyghte, it's a threat saying "If you can't make uBO working in Vivaldi, I'll switch to another browser", which is also irrelevant, since starting next year it is a problem that affects all browsers.
First of all, there is an uBO anymore in the Chrome store, as much an "light" version.After June 2025, none of the v2 blockers will work in by Google's ad and tracking (Alphabet) controled pages (most), that means, even if Vivaldi and other browsers support v2, it will be meaningless.
Because of this also Mozilla is working on a own hybrid and ad system and Vivaldi has the advantage to have an inbuild blocker, which for sure will be improved to be able to deal with new circumstances.
Bad only for other Chromiums without an inbuild blocker.
