Vivaldi, run by the old opera team, has their own adblock built into the app itself

You’ll hate to hear this and it’ll age you 50 years but… The new generation doesnt use Google unless everything else fails. They will search discord, tiktok, and ChatGPT directly first before they ever touch google 🫠

You’ll learn pretty quickly that a large chunk of self-hosting people are the types that are just terrified of having things be outside their control, which by extension means they are terrified of other people that aren’t them running infrastructure. 🫠

Vivaldi will not maintain compatibility with manifest v2, and will instead just rely on their inbuilt ad blocker.

The problem is discord never deletes files, no matter how old they are. So they have a perpetually growing storage need

You’ll be shocked to know that bluesky is open source then and PDS is well on its way to allowing you to host your own instance.

You don’t need the server. It happily works with storing notes as files and syncing them with syncthing.

Joplin server is a separate product that is for if you want to run a web server to sync and collaborate on notes.

Also included block lists can’t update unless the extension itself updates.

It’s not something that can be worked around. It’s specifically a design feature of manifest v3 to restrict these types of things.

Your options are to accept this or use a different browser.
