Some of our browser competitors are all in on Crypto. We are not.

Itâs a topic that is practically inescapable these days, whether online or off. But when it comes to cryptocurrency, all that virtually glimmers is not gold.Jon von Tetzchner (Vivaldi Technologies)

Every donation helps. We particularly appreciate monthly donations, but they all help.
Ad-Blocking, then. The literal difference between constant annoying internet harassment and privacy invasion, and a peaceful web experience.
Google have played funny-buggers with Chromium's extension format so Manifest v3 is here to effectively castrate all of your fave Ad-Blocking tools.
I've been testing Vivaldi browser this morning to see how it's own in-built Ad-Block works. Vivaldi are supporting Manifest v2 for the time being but only until mid 2025 when the Chromium code for v2 will be entirely removed.
Vivaldi's own Ad-Block solution has been described as less-capable but what does that mean in real terms? Does it offer the same level of protection as purpose-specific extensions like uBlock Origin? Is it even capable of offering that level?
I found the following web site that gives me an lovely visual representation of ad-blocking with a list of anything blocked and anything that slips the dragnet.
d3ward.github.io/toolz/adblockâŠ
Let's do some informal testing:
Vivaldi Ad-Block OFF | UBlock Origin OFF = 4%
That's to be expected. Truly appalling, the raw unfiltered web. Every market-store vendor in the world up in your face selling things at you.
Vivaldi Ad-Block OFF | UBlock Origin ON = 99%
Yep, also expected. This is why people swear by uBlock Origin. All of that advertising and tracking nonsense annihilated. NB: That 1% is the test dev admitting there may be other Javascript web pages it doesn't specifically cover with their test.
Now here's the meat of this post:
Vivaldi Ad-Block ON | UBlock Origin OFF = 74%
That's actually reasonable, if not all-encompassing. The Test's own score-banding lists this as a good result. However, a glance down at some of the blocking reveals big names like Google and Amazon are slipping through the net. I personally wouldn't accept this.
Luckily, though, you can import your own block lists to Vivaldi's own default lists. The Toolz test itself lists a couple that they claim will plug the gaps in the testing. Vivaldi's forums linked me to a couple more. Four url imports later (importing the urls rather than text files means they'll update automatically)
Vivaldi Ad-Block ON with Imported Lists | UBlock Origin OFF = 99%
99% again, natively inside Vivaldi without uBlock Origin! That's really great to see although there are tonnes of caveats around this, for example it is only ONE test that might not test for everything needing blocked; it's far from a definitive finding so please don't take this as recommendation just yet.
Vivaldi have said they'll improve the Ad-block in the future as we approach v2 shut-down, and I think it's currently missing Dynamic Blocking which is a bit of a biggie, but my tests above are still very encouraging for the plucky Norwegians. I'll post the url sources in the post below. Feel free to chime in with your own thoughts and experiences!

Die wissenschaftsfeindliche Slowakische Regierung plant ein Verbot von mRNA-Impfstoffen - auch solche, die gegen mehrere Krebsarten entwickelt wurden.

After my having 3 Sinclair computers, I moved on to Atari ST, for a week... before I switched it for an Amiga. At the time, Atari and Amiga were the big names in home computing, while those with more funds might have gone with a Mac or a PC.
What did you use?

Sinclair Spectrum or Commodore 64?
My first computer was a Sinclair ZX81. I had it about a year before I switched to a Sinclair Spectrum and a couple of years later I moved on to Sinclair QL.
Some friends of mine had a Commodore 64. They were more expensive, better hardware, but less accessible when it came to programming, IMHO, at least using Basic. So my friends did more gaming and I did more programming.
Did you have any of these? Which camp were you in?
@cloudhands , that is how I started as well. There was a UK magazine, available in Iceland, that was called Sinclair programs. I would type in programs from that magazine into my ZX81 or Spectrum. Then I would spend time finding typos and bugs... You better be accurate! Learned a lot from that.
One issue with the ZX81 was the RAM pack. After typing for hours, I might push the machine slightly and it would reset... The joy... You might ask why one would not save all the time, but saving on diskette just takes a while.

While I also occasionally suffer from the regular FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out), I mainly suffer from KIMO (Know Iâm Missing Out) about the following behaviors:
- Belonging to a cult, whether itâs religious, sports or political.
- Believing individual words have any inherent power.
- Enjoying recreational drugs, including alcohol, smoking and coffee.
- Celebrating anything, whether at regular intervals (holidays) or one-off transitions (housewarming, bachelor-ette parties, promotions, etc...)
- Caring for any tradition âbecause this is how weâve always doneâ.
And I feel it makes it harder for me to find a meaning for my life given Iâm not experiencing the full range of behaviors it offers. đ€

Can't help myself, I'm absolutely in awe at the art style of #AnimalWell.
That mix of highlights, scan lines and glow, plus all these details... So much to discover on every single screen, and yet the pallette still *feels* subtle.
I have to admit, I got drawn to that game by its graphics first and foremost, but gameplay is a ton of fun too. A puzzle platformer with a beautiful atmosphere. Can recommend!
@blinry I've seen it in that video as well, plus GMTK et al before, and apparently I was raving about it enough that my partner made it a priority to get it into my hands and gifted me a copy for completing FediJam đ„°
And should I end up making a platformer, I'll definitely use that art style as an inspiration.
It reminds me a bit of adve: egordorichev.itch.io/adve
Elon "Pinoccio" Musk hat wieder einmal groĂmĂ€ulig etwas versprochen, das letztlich weder in der vorgestellten Art, dem Preis oder in der versprochenen Zeit kommt.
Diesmal ist es ein Robotaxi als Zweisitzer mit einer LĂ€nge von 4.7 Meter. Das ist fĂŒr die riesige Knautschzone um die Insassen auch notwendig - wegen der vielen UnfĂ€lle, welche die Kiste haben wird.
