The program Vivaldi browser has reached version 2.6 and comes with a built-in Ad-Blocker
Vivaldi 2.6 introduces what the team developers calls it “abusive Ad-Blocker,” which is a new tool that claims to block deceptive ads based on abusive technologies.
One such example is a pop-up that prevents you from leaving the site or clicking the "back" button, so with this version, Vivaldi renders all these systems useless.
The abusive Ad-Blocker works on a list of sites maintained by the parent company itself. Vivaldi developers say the directory is stored on end-to-end encrypted systems, so no data is disclosed when the browser retrieves it from the main server.
Additionally, this new version adds more profile options, such as customizable avatars, adding and deleting profiles, and editing avatar, directly in the pop-up window.
There are many other improvements such as saved password filtering options, enhanced field search which now displays the active browser's favicon, as well as support for Razer headsets. There are also many performance improvements as the team wanted to improve performance with multiple tabs open at the same time.
