Vivaldi Ad/Tracker blocker
-
On vivaldi the ad blcoker and tracker blocker do not properly implement custom block lists (the lists do not work)

Yes, I also wanted to write a similar post about ad blockingI recently started comparing how it blocks Brave and Vivaldi ads (by doing the same actions on the same sites). And even without completing the test/experiment — I can conclude that Vivaldi work worse with ad blocking than Brave.
Perhaps it's really about those ad blocking "lists" and then you need to understand how it all works or doesn't work (I don't really understanding in ads and ads blocking BUT in Brave I can say so — standard blocking, not the strongest selected, but still Brave works better with ad blocking).

Please share which lists you have enabled in Tracker and Ad Blocker settings and on which web pages they fail to block ads.
-
Please share links of web pages, where the ads are not blocked despite the enabled lists, so we could look into it.

Thanks for sharing which lists you've enabled. Please also share on which sites the blocker fails to block ads. -
On the site (https://privacy.net/analyzer/), with the same block lists on Brave and Safari (AdGuard) I have a much better result and also on many sites there is still the cookie banner

It seems that now the browser implements the block lists but every time I restart it I have to wait minutes before the lists work again, If I click on the shield icon it tells me 'applying new block lists'
-
@matt545
Yes. "Applying New Blocker Settings..." button
And this button is animated witch (maybe [but I'm sure 99%]) means that the "action" is not over and also three dots in the end -
I second this. Everytime you restart the browser or use the browser after a while It needs to refetch the adblocker settings. The same issue goes for private mode. Everytime I Open a private tab the adblocker doesn’t work.

I don’t care about cookies
Easy list cookieIt seems that it doesn’t work.
Regarding the ads it also don’t work, I use start page search and every time I have 2 search ads result.

Came here to request this issue be addressed. The ad blocker gets reloaded every time you launch the browser, causing a delay in it working.

We're aware of the issue and hope to look into it soon.
