I think there is no need to worry, because I imagine that the team is developing a total reengineering of the adblocker, taking the best of each of the existing extensions.

Vivaldi already have a basic view, but only after adding a custom list one time.

@electryon, anyway I don't think that Mv3 will change much in a simple Userscript Manager. It is a simple app of a few KB, in essence just a container for the scripts you put in and these are outside the influence of Google.

@luetage even though...it will likely explode with MV3 (hope to see something "compliance" in this "grace year" ^^)

Let's make a unitary list like this one and the problem will be solved: 😛 😛 😛

@Veddu We already have a bunch of requests to improving syntax , layout or features. Upvote what you need:

But you should be able to use V2 addons (like uBO) for another year:

Of course replacing Google\Chrome with Vivaldi in registry.

Actually, the "HTTPS-only" isn't all that useful at present (and I suspect Chromium will soon remove it), since Chromium (and Vivaldi) is now using HTTPS-first by default. That is, if there is a valid HTTPS port for a host, a HTTP URL will be automatically redirected to that URL (think of it as a sort of soft-HSTS). (A difference from Chromium is that entered HTTP URLs are treated the same way).

One can probably consider HTTPS-first as an indirect protection against (at least some of) the HSTS misuse mentioned.

@barbudo2005 said in Add support for Adguard URL tracking protection.:

@Veddu Said:

I would prefer a robust built-in adblocker that is capable of blocking ads on websites that are opened in the sidepanel.

Blocking ads in the panel does not depend on the robustness of the adblocker, but on the fact that Vivaldi allows you to do it.

Not directly. but indirectly it does. Many people I know who use vivaldi, myself included, do not use the built-in adblocker for the reason that there are better alternatives. Hence, others will certainly also choose to run, for example, adguard or ublock instead of the built-in one.

@MylesRyden, the Vivaldi blocker works pretty fine, depending on the filterlists which you activate or add. You can test it with this page

Anyway it's better to avoid YT with all this crap which it has in last times.

@afshin-pir That is a race between blocker list developer to get rid of ads and website owners to get rid of blockers.

As Vivaldi does not create such lists, you need to detect in Settings → Privacy → Ad Blocker and Tracker → Sources which list caused the block, copy the list URL, open the URL in browser to get the contact to developer and report back the bad blocking to the ad block list developer.

You can find more lists here:

It'll even let you filter for those that will work in Vivaldi specifically.

Hi, the developer don´t read the forum, this is a user forum but they read feature requests.
Your request has 1 vote in 4 month, I don´t think this this will be implemented very soon.

Cheers, mib

The contract with private windows is that they cleanup your navigation history and cookies. But they need to use your browser settings, otherwise you wouldn't be able to use the same keyboard shortcuts or the tabs would behave differently, for example.

You can create a new profile for what you want - those have a completely separate set of settings. Just click on the picture at the top right of the browser and you can easily alternate between them.

I don't think shipping extensions by default is necessary, rather implement this into the privacy protection features in the browser.
