How to disable the built in blocker
-
Running Vivaldi on Ubuntu. Love it except one thing, the built in adblock plus (the little red dot that pops up in the address bar). Virtually every site that comes up looking weird in Vivaldi gets fixed when i disable adblock plus for the site.
Is there a way to disable the built in adblock plus? Remove it? Anything?(I have already looked in extensions, and no way to disable adblock plus in extensions, heck it isn't even showing as an extension)
modedit changed title as Vivaldi has no ad blocker

@hokiefans That's weird, as there's not an in-built adblocker in Vivaldi. I'm using a blocker, but I had to install it. I've never seen such a red dot in the address bar (reader view, mixed content and bookmarks icons don't look like a red dot).
Are you sure that it's not some kind of browser hijacking?
Try to start Vivaldi with a clean profile. -
@hokiefans
If you mean the popup blocker, you can disable here for any site:chrome://settings/content/
As said, Vivaldi hasn't any ad blocker in the installer. -
@hokiefans you seem to refer to the mixed content warning?
It indicates a secure site (
https
) was blocked from using resources from an insecure location. Allowing this is considered a security violation.
If a security relevant endpoint (login) is affected, the site owner should be made aware of his mistake. -
@hokiefans said in How to disable the built in adblock plus:

As no-one else has asked - how are you doing this??
-
@TbGbe Just click the icon.
-
Might they be alluding to this? [i've never used it, so dunno]:
Spoiler
-
@potmeklecbohdan Which icon allows you to disable adblock plus if the extension is NOT installed?
-
@TbGbe I agree with your forensics here, given i'm also v dubious of the initial allegation. I suspect OP's V was installed indirectly via some malicious 3rd party source... unless they indeed are alluding to that Page Action.

@Steffie Or it could be an O.S. adware/spyware "helper" tool hooking into browser - we're just guessing atm.
-
@TbGbe OK, no, it doesn't allow you to do this.
