Vivaldi blocks trackers, but makes room for partner ads

Vivaldi has introduced a fix to balance its built-in ad-blocking tool with the need for revenue.

The browser will still block trackers, however, it will allow now ad attribution by default. This enables search partners, such as Startpage or Ecosia, to track ad clicks and conversions to ultimately fund the browser, but only when a user intentionally clicks on an ad.

The feature is currently being tested in Vivaldi's Snapshot builds only, and users still have the ability to disable ads completely from the browser's settings.
