Browsing should push you to explore, chase ideas, and make your own decisions. It should light up your brain. Vivaldi is taking a stand. We choose humans over hype, and we will not turn the joy of exploring into inactive spectatorship.

If only they kept to their original promise of supporting uBlock Origin indefinitely (they later switch their position to only support all v2 extensions until June 2025 using
ExtensionManifestV2Availabilityflag) . It's mandatory in today's internet and without it Vivaldi browser is a non-starter no matter how many other good features they have or positive stances they take.ItsComplicated@sh.itjust.works · 12 pts · 358d
Ublock lite is very lite compared to the original. Even using every filter option it still misses quite a bit. I’ll stick with Firefox.

On Vivaldi, I only use the built in filtering. Is that not good enough? I’m able to block everything I was using ublock origin for. I also block ads at the DNS level.

It can block some ads/trackers, but it's very limited in what it can do. It also lacks all other privacy-preserving features that uBlock Origin offers.
Last time I used Vivaldi (early 2025), with the same blocklists setup, it only blocked ~40% of what uBlock Origin did.
