improved ad blocker on reddit
-
Hello,
I'm using latest version 6.7, and in the release notes I've read about improved tracker and ad blocker.However I don't see any enhancements with ad blocking on reddit:
I still see "promoted" ads, and also the annoying "see reddit in..." popup.These ads are properly hidden in firefox with ublock origin.

Hi,
You have to refine your Lists.UBlock Origin is a software focused just on blocking Ads.
Its blocking system is not implemented on Vivaldi.--

Hello,
thank for the suggestion but refining my lists doesn't solve the issue.
I know because in the past I already tried adding lots of additional lists, in particular the lists from ublock and adguard, and I didn't get any improvement.Vivaldi developers must enhance the adblock engine, and support the same rules as ublock origin. People have been asking for it for years, but it seems that they don't care about it.
-
Try to pair it with something like NextDNS. I have NextDNS configured and the adblocking is much better when combining vivaldi with dns level adblocking
-
@Veddu
unfortunately dns blocking doesn't stop promoted ads or that annoying popup. -
@Zalex108 out of curiosity, which lists do you recommend?
-
-
Oh wow! That's a lot!
I'll need to spend some time looking through them -
The problem is that V doesn't allow Export/Import for AdBlock Lists.
I got those pics a week ago to pick the URLs and reply them on another device.
Those are mostly all from

Do you refer to the promoted ads on Reddit.com?
I don’t see any promoted ads on Reddit on Vivaldi iOS.
This is with only default filterlists enabled in Vivaldi + NextDNS. This combo also scores 96% in d3ward adblock test
- keep in mind that Vivaldi adblocker doesnt support Ublock origin nor adguard filter syntaxes. It only supports ABP syntax.

That's where switching from the regular mobile view to "new(.)reddit(.)com" works for me.
I couldn't find any other way to get rid of it. -

Also, the browser doesn't know how to synchronize selected and added lists. So it adds one at a time. And if you want to reinstall the browser, you'll spend an hour copying their addresses.

If you feel like making your own custom filter list on GitHub or somewhere else where you can link to a text file, this rule does it for me. For both desktop & mobile web.
For ideas of a combination of lists that make Vivaldi's native adblocker work more effectively. I've made a list Vivaldi: Tracker / Ad Blocking Lists (Customized)
-
You could create an own adblock list with this filter:
reddit.com##shreddit-experience-tree
But after that you can't use Reddit because some JavaScript prevent scrolling (up to select something in the blocked element)..

If you add these filters https://www.reddit.com/r/vivaldibrowser/comments/10i48ln/adguard_filter_lists_for_your_mobile_browser/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button then you will have 96% at this test above my comment. It probably works out for you then.

@NewDay14 Interesting. I don't have NextDNS, so I'm not sure this combo would completely cover it for me, but it does get the score up there. I just don't put full faith in this test, although it is nice to get some sense from it.
If you haven't tried it, try enabling the native Russian (RU Adlist). I've found with other suggested combinations in the past, that this will push you over the top to 100.
How does this combo work for you against mobile adblock blockers?

@sdtbluethink
Hi, what your rule is supposed to block?Anyway you may try this rule to unblock scrolling:
reddit.com##body,html:style(overflow:auto!important)
Maybe it will work in your case too.
