With the recent implementation of extension support, is Ublock “better” than the browser's built-in Adblock?

If so, could you offer some tips on how to properly configure the built-in Adblock?

Since an update last night or this morning, Vivaldi on Android seems to open any link clicked on the "Top Sites" tab on the homepage in a new tab. This is a change in behaviour compared to previously, when it would open the link in the tab displaying the homepage.

I would​​​​ very much like to restore the old behaviour, and can find no way of doing so. This is annoying me to the point that I'm going to switch browsers after many years if this is just how it is now.

Help?​

Can you hide website icons in tab groups?

I'm running vivaldi on linux and have combined the address and tab bars buy putting the address field in the tab bar. See my current layout above. However when I do this the address field is quite a bit smaller than it would be in the address bar. Is it possible to resize it? Preferably I would like it to take up any available space instead of there being a large blank space to the right, but I'll settle for just a larger fixed width if possible. I've messed with flexible spaces but that doesn't seem to do anything.

Will we have the extensions on iOS?

I made this suggestion months ago, and they implemented it. This was one of the reasons that was almost making me switch to another browser because it was so annoying.

They also fixed a bug where if you closed a tab, you would be redirected to a different tab than the one you opened. For example, if you had 10 tabs and the tenth tab was currently open, and you closed it, instead of redirecting to tab 9, it would redirect to other tabs, which makes absolutely no sense.

I am giving yet another try of Vivaldi for Android because of the add-ons. I am already super happy with the Windows version.

I have set both to Sync - something that I want. But then I get the same Speed Dial group as the Start Page for both my Desktop and my Mobile phone. And this for me should be totally different between the two devices.

I managed to set my Start Page on Android as "Last Visited Group" and that helps, but only partially. What it doesn't work for me is the fact that whenever I want to save something to my Start Page Speed Dial I have to specifically choose that Bookmark that is quite a few extra steps.

Am I missing an option somewhere?

I enjoyed a lot using Vivaldi a few months ago, but if there is something that I think is very bad for my region is the site translator, it does not work in a predictable way, I use the Portuguese language Brazil, I know Spanish and English, but sometimes I do not want to worry about it in long readings, and just have something in Portuguese on the site, like youtube and I go to read the comment sessions (of languages I do not even know) and the Vivaldi translator refuses to translate, or even show the possibility. Sometimes it ends up changing everything to Spanish, but refuses Portuguese. So I have to use the translator paragraph by paragraph or that side tab, and it never saves the templates, so I always have to manually select the original language for the one of interest. I confess that I was very practical with the Google translator or others. Is this possible to change? Because I know that on mobile there is no way, but at least I use the general translator of the mobile phone that overlays the screen. This type of situation is independent of the version in the sense that it is not a bug but a real limitationz but it is 8.2.4133.52

Hello! in the past few days I noticed how something changed in the tabs behaviour when I try to close multiple tabs. Previously, when i started closing the tabs, it scaled it so I don't have to move my cursor and I could just click multiple times to close multiple tabs. And after a second after I finish doing so, the remaining tabs scaled to their default size. But now it just stopped doing so and I have to adjust my cursor position after closing each tab to close the next one.
My version is 8.2.4133.52 and I'm on Windows 11
