Any news on improving the adblock? On Firefox with Ublock origin right now but would love to move over to Vivaldi on android.

It works great for me, I use Vivaldi and uBlock Origin Lite. I also use AdGuard Home in the LAN but its job is mostly for non-PC devices. Are you encountering specific issues with Vivaldi filters?

Origin lite is not supported on android. Been testing different ad block sources, like hegazis. But still the adblock capabilities are not as good as those on Firefox with Ublock origin. It's a shame because otherwise Vivaldi is so fast and I really like that its European.

I see. It could be a bit less effective than Firefox, but personally I use it as stock and it works quite well. Do you use a filtering DNS on Android? I would suggest using the DoT address for AdGuard DNS.
