Remove white space from blocked ads

I like Vivaldi and the features it has for iOS. One thing that is missing is removing the white space created by blocking ads. Removing the white space would make web pages cleaner. Safari with Adguard or 1Blocker does this so does the DuckDuckGo browser as well as Brave browser.

I agree. The built in adblocker in Vivaldi is nowhere nere Adguard or braves built in.

This adblock test also indicates that. With brave and adguard with safari I get 93+ in that score. For Vivaldi I get around 73…

Hi, this so called beautify blocking will not come to Vivaldi, the blocker is only list based.

Edited: Wrong information with custom list.

@mib2berlin

Do you run any additional blocking like NextDNS? Or what filters do you use on Vivaldi to achieve that score?

mib2berlin

I am very sorry, this was the result with uBlock on desktop.
The list I used for a long time do not work anymore, it was possible to reach 90+ on this test.
I have to search a bit for a new list.

Cheers, mib

Yeah, that makes sense. If you try with only the built-in ad blocker, you will see the difference.

@Veddu try adding mire list from here. Blocked out most ad and scored 99% from the ad block test you shared.

@gbjack thank you ! Default adblock lists in Vivaldi caused in a French Canadian news website a popup to disable ads blocker (EasyList cause it). With some tests, I've been able to hide this popup and ads in the page, but big rectangular spaces took too much space on the page. With your link and lists suggested, all working great now on that website. No ads and big blank spaces are hidden.

With Brave Browser, default embedded ads blocker work fine without any changes.

What is a Mire List, or did you make a typo?

Also the Ad Block test site is no longer maintained.

Is there another test site we should use?

Thanks
