Vivaldi does not display comments on the Daily Mail website

[polemokles1]

Hi,

I noticed this a couple of months ago; it was not resolved with the latest updates, so I thought I'd better drop a line here. In short, Firefox displays the comments on the Daily Mail website; Vivaldi does not, showing a blank field with an empty comment baloon graphic instead:

Thanks for any tips you'd have.

Hi, some user report comments are not displayed on other pages too.
Disable the Vivaldi ad/tracker blocker for this page, use the shield icon in the address bar.
Iirc it was one of the tracking lists, check this in Settings > Privacy > Manage Sources.
Disable Easy Privacy for example, test.

Cheers, mib

@polemokles1 Please check Troubleshooting issues.

I think it is caused by your ad blocker.

[polemokles1]

@mib2berlin Yup, after clicking on the shield icon and selecting "no blocking", the comments were kind enough to appear

I didn't think they'd be classified as ads/trackers, that's why I didn't even think of trying it.

Thanks for your help!

Mostly they are. When you want to see the news for free, you have to accept that data will be stored there are shared with a lot of third party services which mostly are ad platforms. So, always check the blocker as first thing

@polemokles1 The best advice is to avoid sites that share your data. Ad-blocking will stop them doing that, but with the loss of some features. YouTube sucks because of forcing users to disable ad-blockers. This is being challenged in European courts under data protection laws.
