    I’ve been using Vivaldi more and more. Been aware of it for years, even used it back in beta. It’s almost too kustomizable. It boarders on being an OS with how much is built in.

      Vivaldi is based on Chromium. When Google kills manifest v2 in a few months, Vivaldi will be forced to follow. They can’t maintain a full fork. So, no more uBlock in Vivaldi.

        I’ve been meaning to do more testing with it’s built in blocking. Guess we’ll have to see when the time comes.

          if you want to test it by seeing how many ads do pages have after, I just want to point out that ublock is much more than an ad filter. you won’t notice by looking at the website if vivaldi does not block data mining content anymore

            Fair enough. I also run a local pihole too with a fairly extensive lists. (~2.2mil). It’s mostly a concern for work. We have freedom of browser choices, but extensions are monitored. Though I can’t make use of pihole on my work laptop.

        I agree, but knowing it’s from Norway makes me feel more comfortable with the idea of using it than if it was made in the US…. (And I’m American…)
