Though it is less of an issue for those two, given that they have built-in adblocking. Still a laudable effort.

- sunshowers 2y agoAt least when I last tested, Vivaldi on Android's adblocking is pretty far behind uBlock Origin -- it doesn't get nearly as many anti-adblock interstitials as it should.
- creesch 2y agoWhile adblocking has gotten most of the focus, it isn't the only functionality that is being limited or made more complicated. One of my favorite extensions is still not available for MV3 because of complications: https://github.com/openstyles/stylus/issues/1430 https://github.com/openstyles/stylus/issues/1430
- zamalek 2y agoYes, hence "less of an issue," not "not an issue."
- unethical_ban 2y agoAt this point, I wonder why Firefox doesn't have a vivaldi-like tracker and ad block interface. Perhaps it has to do with being a Google-funded browser. I wonder how hard that would be to implement for someone who knew how to do it? Or if the code for that in vivaldi is open source?
- Kye 2y agoIt does. Click the little shield in the address bar. I assume it blocks some ads even if it's not as effective as uBlock Origin.
- zamalek 2y agoIt blocks trackers, which means ads usually get caught up in the net. It's anyone's guess if the ones that makes it through aren't tracking, or are successfully evading (I'd wager the latter).
