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 too have a pihole but DNS based filtering is not much. ublock does not only limit the domains that can be reached. it limits which scripts and other resources can load, which outgoing data requests can proceed, what can a js script access and how will it see that, and all of that per-site so that it doesn't need to use broad whitelists
