@jon Literally the 1 non-feature that makes me stick with Vivaldi. Despite being a great browser in its own right, the native ad blocker isn't as capable as uBlock Origin. Maybe when Vivaldi finally supports extensions on mobile (Android) that'll seal the deal for me.
Please don't get me wrong, I LOVE the browser and use most of its power-user oriented features. It's just that having an ad blocker that blocks ads reliably on YouTube it's important to me.

@cristianrasch @jon for years I ignored @FreeTube and I regret doing so because it's the best experience you can have on a Desktop to access YouTube. It's the equivalent of the fabulous @newpipe on Android.
