More strict blocking rules by default
-
Hi everyone!
According to the results of this test https://d3ward.github.io/toolz/adblock.html barely half of the ads/trackers are blocked on maximum blocking level "Block Trackers and Ads".
Yes, I know that I can go to Privacy and Security > Tracker and Ad Blocking > Manage Sources and manually add some lists, but I think it's worth at least block google and facebook tracking with no exceptions.
Сan Vivaldi provide a higher level of filtering by default?

For new users? A the risk of failing many sites.

Yep. At maximum blocking level I expect almost everything to be blocked, if something breaks – I shift gear to medium level.
In Brave on default level block 97% (and my teammates who uses it regularly never complained about broken sites)
@DoctorG , just look at blocked urls below first screen at https://d3ward.github.io/toolz/adblock.html
So I think increasing the filtering level will not affect users anyway.

@DoctorG
Done. Overall score hasn't changed -
@DoctorG and for dealing with cookies alert better use Consent-O-Matic (instead of blocking them)

If anyone wants better tracker blocking...
Fortunately most tracker blocking filter lists use simple rules, so even Vivaldi with its basic ad blocker can read all rules.The best filter list I have found is this, it blocks all trackers and in all adblock tests you get 99%.
