Vivaldi's ad blocker is detected...
-
I've been having the same issues since the most recent vivaldi update. Just using the basic lists and always have, but added the others mentioned in this thread just now, restarted, and tried again with youtube (main site having issues and threatening to turn off video player, though plenty of other sites have had issues with this last update too). Still doesn't work.
I've had similar issues with any news or cooking sites that I usually don't have a problem with and possibly related but not sure: a lot of the sites that I use login with google for also just won't let me login. Correct account, seems to work and pretends to load for a second, and then just takes me back to the original login screen.

Hi, I think your issue is different to the OP one.
YT force killing ad blocker on all browser and all ad blocker, search the web for "YT ad blocker" and you will find many many pages.
We have a big thread about:

the ad nag screen problem happens in both the normal window and private window. i showed the screenshot in private window to show the difference in the way the cookie nag screen looks. maybe this problem happens differently based on country. i'm in usa.

Yes, i think so.
I tested from the EU and did no see the ad nag screen. -

@mib3berlin Thanks for testing with VPN!

@mib3berlin, not strange, these practices are limited by legislation (GDPR), which in the US does not exist or only in a deficient way. In the EU the use of ad and trackerblocker is a right and even advised by legislators and security agencies.
Both Google, Facebook and other large US corporations have already had to pay several million-dollar fines for these abusive practices. -
you should reopen the bug report or forward this problem to the ad list devs.

@TsunamiZ Done.
