Urlfilter.ini

Hello! First, congratulation to this Browser, i really like it! (i'am one of these guys still using opera 12
the only thing i'm missing at the moment is the good old urlfilter.ini, is such a feature planned in future? many thanks for developing a real alternative to opera 12!! -
Hi,
Opera has never been number one for me. But urlfilter.ini was good solution.
Best Regards

Maybe some kind of hybrid urlfilter.ini would be possible in collaboration with the Adblock maker so you could update it with the already known Ad urls and it would work faster than extension if it's integrated to the program?

Totally support, my urlfilter.ini blocks almost all ads and breaks no functionality, something that happens with extensions.

Another way is to think an urlfilter.ini tells the browser to deny connections from those hosts. While an extension is merely looking at the requests the browser will make to then block them.
-
Yes, both URL filter and ad-blocker should be added in Vivaldi.

When Vivaldi adding AdBlock feature to the browser (i.e. urlfilter.ini or other methods), the one / maybe the only solution for adblocking is the use one of the adblock extensions of Chrome.
