I just got this prompt after updating Vivaldi today

I still have installed the V2 version of uBO, and after updating to “8.1.4087.46 (Official Build) (arm64)” it seems that they’re doing this to prepare us for 8.2 or 8.3.

And it’s not vivaldi’s fault, it’s being removed from source.

Google/Chromium did this a while ago … now accepting only diminished uBlock Origin Lite

Firefox doesn’t have this restriction.

Did you ever look under the hood at what Vivaldi’s built-in ad blocker is?

The answer might surprise you.

Nope, I’ve never searched it.
Vivaldi has had many updates since last I tried it, so it might be much better now.

I get similar from 8.1 with regard to Feedbro extension, which the upgrade disabled … but I could manually re-enable it … for now.
