I have Vivaldi on my android but I do not know how to get adblock working. Is it even possible?

Firefox mobile has Ublock Origin and works great. Even on YouTube.

Menu -> Settings -> Tracker and Ad Blocking -> Block Trackers and Ads

Thanks. I quickly tried it on YouTube and did get an ad. So I guess it doesn't work on those. Bummer.

Edit. Tried it some more and did not get any more ads. It takes a little to get the video playing but other that 10/10. No ad experience. Awesome.

it has an adblocker but it doesn't come even close to uBlock Origin. UBO is so many tiers above any other mobile browser built-in adblocker.
