New Update Vivaldi Desktop Releases

What i like in vivaldi is the android version of it that is highly customizable when other browsers are very limited in that. But I dont know if they have any plans to upgrade their adblocking capabilities further?

I would use it on desktop (and on android) If most antiviruses web protection would support the browser
