Some user don't want to use extensions, therefor this thread was born.@barbudo2005 said in Update of How blocking adblock-detection?:
There is no need to use the built-in or Script to get YT ad-free with uBOL.
This was about adblock-detection not ad's, iirc it was @Catweazle, I don't have a link.

Vivaldi internal adblocker is based on ABP.
Like most built in ad blockers except Brave's they all used ABP's embedded library to integrate a built in adblocker.
So all of them are basically ABP and since there doesn't seem to be any massive development of Vivaldi's built in adblocker you are limited using ABP's filters on it which have weak adblock-detection filters.
In order to stop having these adblock-detection warnings you will have to disable Vivaldi's ad blocker. -

There is no need to have a script manager built. We have Tampermonkey or Violentmonkey.
After June we will only have the proprietary Tampermonkey because tophf doesn't seem to be interested for a MV3 version of Violentmonkey.
So our only option will be a closed source proprietary userscript manager.
Of course there will be people not comfortable using a closed source proprietary userscript manager.
A userscript manager can be very dangerous, it runs javascript code.
Brave already added about a month ago built in support for scriptlets and they plan to include support for "scriptlet subscription" and full userscripts support in order to remove the need of Tampermonkey. -
@electryon Thank you for your 2 comments. Very interesting!

I have been using Tampermonkey for years and have not seen any “strange” scripts in the Dashboard.
It has 11,000,000 users and 72.200 reviews.
Do you think that there is no expert among ALL those users who has noticed something strange in all these years?
Or in other words, do you think that 11,000,000 users have not been concerned about the issue you mention?
Please don't unnecessarily fear-monger.

It doesn't matter what I think.
There are millions of users who use other open source userscript managers instead of the most popular one.
These people will be left without a choice.
That's a fact and we don't know if they are willing to switch to Tampermonkey.
And you can't know what they are going to do. -

No. They will have a choice.

It is up to them alone.
Moreover, this option has always existed in Vivaldi:
Javascript inject
Look this post by @luetage :

Save as style.user.js and drag it to the extensions page with Developer mode enabled.

@barbudo2005 Yeah, we aren’t forced to use any userscript manager. Of course when you run a bunch of userscripts handling them through a manager is more comfortable, I’ve been using Violentmonkey too.
-
So after MV3 has been placed, do we have to create userscripts manually? Or what will be available from June?
Vivaldi with mail-client and calendar
OS: Linux Mint LMDE 6 Cinnamon; Win10, GrapheneOS with Android 15 -

And what do you intend to do if Violentmonkey is not upgraded to MV3?

No, they don't have a choice. When there is only 1 manager=option available there is no choice.
Their only choice is to use a closed source extension. That's not choice, 1 option is not giving you choice.
Please.... userscript managers exist for a reason.
For making the management of userscripts easier. For having the ability them to auto update when they need an update.
Do you really believe anybody who uses userscript managers will tolerate ending up loading them and update them manually? -

I forgot this paragraph from an old post of mine:
"This alternative is more suitable for styles that are already consolidated and that you are not going to change constantly."
