Enable Ad Blocker and browse fast

Without ad blocker, online advertisements not only interrupt your browsing, they stop webpages from loading fast.
When your browser is busy downloading advertisements – banners, pop-ups, animations, autoplaying videos – your browsing slows down.
With ad block on, you browse faster because webpages load much more quickly.
Vivaldi’s pop up blocker stops advertisements as soon as you request a page. We rely on a list of URLs known to distribute ads and stop requests to those URLs before they are even sent. This way, you never download the ads. And you need less bandwidth, CPU, and memory because your browser with adblock isn’t processing more information – another reason you browse faster!

Built-in ad block is better than using extensions

Do you want ad block right in your browser? With our ad blocker you don’t need to install extensions to get rid of pesky ads.

If you are using a third-party pop up blocker, such as AdBlock or AdBlock Plus, you’ll no longer need that.

Although extensions are often helpful, they can create compatibility issues. Vivaldi browser is packed with features designed to work well with each other. Our philosophy is to rely less on third-parties.

And extensions are always an option if that’s what you would like.

Stay safe with integrated ad blocker

With ad blocker, you stay away from advertising trackers that can compromise your privacy.

Many online ads use the same technology as trackers. They follow you around the web collecting valuable information. They rely on snippets of code that can be exploited to gain access to sensitive information.

Prevent your device from showing malicious download ads.

Without adblocker, you will keep seeing online ads that distribute viruses and malware, compromising your data and computer. “Malvertising” prompts you to go to scam websites and download malicious files or click on links that turn out to be something else. Some websites are more likely to show malvertising ads than others, but websites that display advertising may not have full control over the advertisements they host.

Use ad block to avoid seeing ads for malicious extensions.

Third-party extensions run in the browser and can use their access to snoop on you. Keep your data and devices safe with our pop up blocker. It will block ads, including those for malicious extensions.

Ad blocker with built-in privacy

Some ad blocker apps monitor their users, create profiles of them, and sell their data to generate revenue and further their business.

Apps, including ad blocks, have different sources of income.

Vivaldi browser is different. We are in the business of protecting your data. We integrated an adblocker in Vivaldi to safeguard you from the worst kind of ads, the tracking ads.

We don’t track you.
We don’t profile you.
We don’t sell your data (we have none).

Before you make a choice, ask this: What is the ad blocker’s business model?

Vivaldi browser’s ad block is free to use all the way, no premium features or functionality behind a paywall.

Stay mindful

The sites you visit on a daily basis will suffer once you turn ad block on – ads are a source of revenue for many websites.

As proponents of the free internet, we want websites to keep generating revenue.

In Vivaldi, you decide how you want sites to display and what you want sites to know about you.

We recommend blocking trackers on all sites, but ad block only on websites where advertisements are intrusive or distracting.

To support your favorite websites and free content on the Internet, we advise:

Do not enable ad blockers across all websites.
Allow advertising from websites you trust.
Consider blocking just trackers with Tracker blocker. Tracker blocking will prevent the worst kind of ads – the tracking ads.
Support websites you regularly visit by donating directly to them.
