@MoosMas , I always use this or similar dark themes, also on the OS. It is the least dazzling my old eyes.

Hi!
when I go here
https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/ROG-MAXIMUS-XII-FORMULA/HelpDesk_Download/and choose Windows 10 64bit from the drop down menu nothing happens. It works fine in Edge.

@DarkUltra
Hi, choose Windows open a list of drivers, Bios, Audio and so forth.
Do you use any third party blocker?
I use Vivaldi´s own and PrivacyBadger on Vivaldi 3.4.2038.4 snapshot and latest Stable.Cheers, mib

@Ruarí Mere end-user here, but this sure seemed like "sneaking it in" to me since I noticed a few days ago ads being loaded and causing reloads of pages. https://linuxhint.com this morning was driving me nuts with this, and after considerable digging around I finally found this thread and how to stop the behavior (by disabling the support-Vivaldi source and enabling a couple others).
If there had been an obvious buy-in/advert for this change, I likely would have lived with it.

@ruarí I'm astonished that in the long list of "Ad BLOCKING Sources" there's this one check box that actually blocks ads when it's UN-checked. This does not appear straight-forward to me – hence the term "sneaky" seems appropriate.
For a more constructive critique, I suggest making this "Allow ads from our partners" checkbox available outside of that list of Ad Blocking Sources.
Maybe I just don't understand that list but to me, it looks like that when I check ALL boxes here (except the "Allow ads from our partners...") that then I have the least of all ads – which I guess is the whole point of the "Privacy" section.

@mypointofview some filters occur in several filterlists several times so there may be overlap.

please remove the break feature.
its nothing but annoying - its the second time a enabled this just by accident and its really hard to turn off - i do not use the bar on the bottom.
closed out from all my work again and still searching how to get in again.
this is a really really bad idea....
still closed out... -
and even a browser restart does not fix it.
brilliant. -

press ctrl+.
you can disable the keyboard shortcut in the keyboard settings if you don't want it. -
@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa , you can Shift drag all buttons from the task bar to the adress bar, if you don't use the task bar.
Put the break button then in a position where it isn't pushable by accident. -

Put the break button then in a position where it isn't pushable by accident.If he doesn't show the status bar he can't push it at all, voluntarily or accidentally. He probably just pushed Ctrl+. which is the only other way to toggle break mode, IIRC. Once disabled in keyboard settings, and kept status bar hidden, I don't think there's another way to activate break mode.
I bet once it's known there's no need to disable it. It's like falling from the bike, it also helps learning going on bike by not doing the same mistake. -
@ian-coog You can additionally toggle break mode from both quick commands and menu

alsways have to search for it.
-
and this was the real solution to turn off this useless annoyance.
