Solved Track blocker breaks sites (EasyPrivacy list)

Hadden89

@Pathduck I saw the broken layout often in past and thought was the tracker list to be broken, not the vivaldi mirrored one. I also find the default tracking lists are too overblocking without any way to fine tuning. They should find a softer list to set as default.

I love Vivaldi and have used it without issues for several years. But today, it stopped working : when I load a website, no resources (images, css files,...) is loaded. Thus, almost no website are working correctly.

I removed all my extensions and removed every cookies without success.

When I inspect a page, the console says : "Failed to load resources: net::ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT" for every images, css,...
What is causing this issue ?

I tried on private and got the same behaviour, however on the guest profile or on a new profile, things seems to work. Is there a way to fix my profile without creating a new one ? (Unfortunately, I don't have backups :s)

Re: Track blocker breaks sites (EasyPrivacy list)
I went through the settings thoroughly but didn't get it, so I installed Privacy Badger and uBlock orgin...

@mib2berlin I just did. I applied the 'fix' and it worked :-}!

Always fine on my side, as i could see in Vivaldi settings my EasyPrivacy blocker list was from Sept 14th.

Really strange, now i switched off and on the EasyPrivacy in Vivaldi Settings for Tracker Blocker to get a most recent and all is still ok.

Unfortunately seems Easyprivacy block list is not always fetched by Vivaldi browser at start. I had one from 7th of September 2022 in my 5.5 Standalone

the Fix did not work for me. I disabled all blocking and tracking, disabled all third party lists, deleted cookies from individual sites. I still get broken pages on many of my favorite sites, all of which are major organizations with robust websites.

My only workaround is to copy the link and paste it into Firefox. This is not sustainable. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

@DoctorG Is the vivaldi mirror which fails or just the EP list? (I don't use it).
In the latter case using an alt version could help
