Why we introduced Ad blocker to Vivaldi browser
-
@Kein You are very free to remove or add any tracker/ad blocking lists you want, including the built-in ones.
As for "hidden stuff", you can also inspect the built-in lists; all it takes is a simple right-click.

@AltCode said in Why we introduced Ad blocker to Vivaldi browser:
l
can adding custom [filter list] be added for android version? https://filterlists.com
-
@rjackdaw As far as I know, not yet, but I do believe the devs said this ability will come in a later update.
-
Is there a way to trigger it off/on for specific webpages without manually adding it to the exclusion list (similar to how Brave handles it)?
There are some websites where adblockers can ruin functionality + some websites use ads as their sole income.

Thank you for implementing ad blocking.

Great article. Thanks for letting us choose!

@gt500: that doesn't last well... They still make updates lol

I am very curious as to what is going to happen to this browser in a month when Manifest V3 hits.
-
@cheshireraptor Yes, but i'm even more curious about what will then happen to the incomparable
uBlock Origin
&uMatrix
, whose user-interactive dynamic-filters rely implicitly on NO Mv3 occurring. -
I think that Mv3 affects the extensions in the store and the compatibility of Chromium with thes extensions, but I think not so in the inbuild filter lists.
Because Mv3ยท don't affect that this filters works in other than Chromium browsers.
What we need is a context menu inclusion, like in the adblocker estension..
It's similar like Blokada in Android, Blokada is also in Google Play, but downloaded from the Play store, instead from F-Droid or from the homepage, you obtains only a "decaffeinated version" of Blokada.
Mv3 is the reason because Vivaldi include a own ad/trackerblocker since v.3
