Vivaldi is not capable of cosmetic filtering. It can prevent "ads" from communication, but it cannot block cosmetics without an element zapper. -

What do web browsers really do in the background? Privacy advocates have a keen interest in this question. Promising users better privacy and freedom from ads, Brave has made quite a name for themselves with over 100 million monthly active users... -

Correct; it creates a small 32 MB FAT partition for the app install, then you have two options: 1- Add whatever you like of ISO files on the remaining partition (could be formatted as NTFS, exFAT, or FAT), in addition to any files you need to...

When I suggested it to my colleagues, they are like: I will skip youtube AD in 5-10 secs, it is no problem. I... -

Necessity is the fire for innovation. If there is no difference then I'm happy, yet to switch to DNS/TLS blocking system wide but will as MV3 becomes normal.

No. I use UBOL for cosmetics and for sites with intrusive ads.

I was wondering about that. What Windscribe doesn't explicitly describe is what data is in the RAM. Suppose they were able to grab the servers that remain powered on and later image the RAM. What would they find? Theoretically, almost all users'... -

Yeah if you live in a authoritarian regime that's true, but local law trumps foreign law in every country and when laws don't cover or can't be enforced local politicians create new ones to prosecute people. The difference is in those countries...

So, I want you to prove if it's true? Because only Vivaldi's ad blocker doesn't block ads on YouTube videos, I have to use uBlock Origin to avoid ads on YouTube?

I never got it to work correctly, left over ads and it was resource intensive. Maybe they improved it after I used it, but it was plain terrible.

@Miravi great work, the care you put into setting up the test and the time you dedicated really shows. The result brings clarity and confidence about the browser’s behavior. Thanks for sharing it with the community. 👏

With all due respect, Vivaldi ad blocker is garbage. I feel like it's only there so they can say they have ad blocking capability. It's neither efficient nor capable of blocking anything complex.

We are trapped to a corner; Brave is the last resort if uBO/uBOL fail to work properly; Vivaldi adblocker is less efficient.
