Overview
Vivaldi Ad Blocker is integrated into Vivaldi Browser rather than distributed as a separate application. It filters ads and trackers using block lists, with controls for global defaults and individual websites.
Users can choose no blocking, tracker blocking, or tracker-and-ad blocking. Vivaldi notes that list-based blocking cannot cover every ad source, and that blocking can affect website behavior.

- The blocker is integrated into Vivaldi and offers three site blocking levels: no blocking, trackers only, or trackers and ads.

What TechZella adds
- The blocker is integrated into Vivaldi and offers three site blocking levels: no blocking, trackers only, or trackers and ads.
- Users can enable, disable, or import supported filter sources and set exceptions for individual sites.
Important limitations
