Föderation EN Mo 18.03.2024 15:05:33 Yesterday, at home, I was able to use #Vivaldi 's built-in adblocker fine on Youtube. Come in to the office today, and I had to shut it off because videos are inaccessible. #UBlockOrigin and #PrivacyBadger by #EFF work just fine though. I'd love to not have to use other extensions, but looks like we're not quite there at the moment. |
Föderation EN Fr 22.03.2024 15:34:23 Do you have the same blocker lists enabled at home and at work? 🤔 You could try enabling different lists or even add custom lists on your work computer to see if they block ads on YouTube better. |
Föderation EN Fr 22.03.2024 17:39:57 @Vivaldi I use the same blocker lists on both computers. Now, my work machine has Windows 11 and my home machine uses Manjaro Linux. Not sure if that makes a difference. Oddly I don't have issues with Vivaldi on Android, so I don't know if there's a difference between mobile and desktop sites. If this is a known issue, have you considered finding existing lists and adding them by default to Vivaldi? Would that help in more people utilizing your built-in blocker? Are there any plans to improve or make it more robust so that we don't need to use extensions like UBO? |
