I only ever see online advertising when I’ve installed a new browser and I’m searching for uBlock Origin.

And I have to scroll to find the actual genuine link.

    Note that I am, despite your assertion, using the full uBlock Origin, not the Google-friendly uBlock Origin Lite

    Seeing your screenshot I was curious how that works, so I spent a minute searching and found this post from June 2024 where Vivaldi says:

    We will keep Manifest v2 for as long as it’s still available in Chromium. We expect to drop support in June 2025, but we may maintain it longer or be forced to drop support for it sooner, depending on the precise nature of the changes to the code.

    In my quick search I didn’t find anything more recent about their schedule for dropping it, so I guess (assuming your software is up-to-date?) they haven’t dropped it yet but presumably will do soon.

    But in any case, Vivaldi is proprietary/closed-source, so, I recommend against using it.

      Manifest v2 extensions are still very much working in Vivaldi. I’m on version “7.6.3797.63 (Stable channel) stable (64-bit)” which is the version currently available for download directly from vivaldi.com.

      I still want to try Floorp and Zen Browser before I settle on a for-now browser though. Eventually I’d like to be on something Servo-based, but Gecko would be preferable for now if I can find one that works for me.
