It’s really weird that they implemented Adblock Plus style lists and mirror EasyList in ABP syntax, since if you select Ads and Tracking blocking, then it defaults to EasyList in ABP format and DuckDuckGo Tracker Radar in Webkit Content Blocker format.
#Adblock vs ublock code
Since the tarball is over 1,900 MB, which is larger than most GNU/Linux Live ISO images, I didn’t download it to see which license the Adblock code is under, but I found a GitHub mirror that contained a revision from Vivaldi 4.0, which should be close enough to the current release to get an idea of what they’re using. (This way you get no git history and have no idea how the components are being developed. It’s apparently open source (although Vivaldi itself isn’t, completely), but they toss it into a source tarball that’s bigger than an operating system download. What I’ve been able to gather about Vivaldi Adblock in general: Then over on the Tracking side, do the same but add and to keep Social Media crap from tracking you and cluttering up pages.Īfter you do that, you shouldn’t really need an ad blocking add-on like ublock-origin or the others anymore, and can remove them from Vivaldi if you had them for some reason. It should tell you it brought in a bunch of ad blocking rules. While Fanboy’s Ultimate List is not in Vivaldi by default, you can add it by going to Vivaldi Menu/Settings/Privacy, and then select “Block Trackers and Ads”, and then I would suggest de-selecting everything in both columns that Vivaldi defaults to having on, then clicking + under Ad Blocking Sources, then adding and then Import. In my testing, the DuckDuckGo Tracker Radar seems to largely duplicate what Fanboy’s Ultimate List already had in it. Vivaldi includes a list called “DuckDuckGo Tracker Radar”, which leads to what seems to be a Webkit Content Blocker format list mirrored by Vivaldi. However, it seems to accept any list in adblock plus format, and Vivaldi seems to have implemented Webkit Content Blockers as well. However, the company hasn’t been extremely forthcoming about how it works. The Vivaldi browser has a built-in ad blocker.
