Ad-Blocker issues with certain ads
-
Hello,
I'm using Vivaldi on Android with Ad-Blocker enabled, I've activated the EasyLists for all countries and with this setting, I get a quote good score of 80% at https://d3ward.github.io/toolz/adblock.html.
However, there are ads at e. g. spiegel.de that are not blocked at all although other browsers like Firefox or Edge that have scores of under 30% are able to block it. Here is a screenshot:
https://abload.de/image.php?img=screenshot_20230817_1s3ded.jpgSo my question is why this ad cannot be blocked (even if I would enable all filter lists). Is it a problem with that certain type of ad? If so, why can other browser block it without any problem? Are there any updates planned for Vivaldi to improve the blocking rate?
Best regards
Stefan

@stna1981 You can try using this list to block adverts, in the test it shows 95% blocking. It seems to do a good job of blocking on the newspaper page.

Didn't work for me, but as it worked with ABP in Edge, I checked what lists are being used in ABD and the Anti-Circumvention list seems to be the one to filter these kind of ads:

@stna1981 Doesn't seem to block ads in Edge for me. I have enabled adblocker and disabled acceptable ads too.
Firefox with uBO and Brave were able to block the ads though.

Hi, I use only one ad blocker list + Vivaldi partner list.https://github.com/StUser4pda/filtrite/releases/latest/download/bromite-4pda.txt
A user post this list, I forgot who, kudos to the user.

Yeah you're right, the ABP list didn't fully fix it, ads came back shortly after my post. Adding the lists no. 2, 5, 6, 11, 14 & 15 from AdGuard solved it for me so far, but thx for the Bromite list, I'll also add this one to be safe for the future.
