Vivaldi browser on Android allows you to automatically block cookie requests

The European Union GDPR is a double-edged sword that protects privacy not only for the region but for the whole world but at the expense of some discomfort. Website administrators have time to carry out compliance and users are now welcomed by messages that request their permission to activate cookies. This can be very annoying or even really confusing that’s why Vivaldi brings the Cookie Crumbler feature to Android for quite a lot of blocks most of their cookies and dialogues at all.

Of course, a good thing to ask users whether they want to have a cookie track their visit but, unlike the transparency of Apple’s new application tracking, permission for this is not trivial. Except if you are a more experienced computer user, you are more likely to let all the cookies, which negates the purpose of letting users protect themselves online.

Vivaldi solutions for confusion and interference are only hiding the dialogue and blocking cookies simultaneously. This feature is part of the cookie cookie which was introduced to the desktop browser and now arrived on Android. This is part of the browser tracking protection feature, which is why it was found under related settings, if you want to deactivate it.

You might be truly forced to deactivate it on the site that requires cookies even working. Vivaldi also warns that there will be several sites that seem to work around the cake blocker so it might not work 100%. That said, the blocking system is based on a list of third-party which continues to grow because more and more sites with cookies are added to it.

Updates to Vivaldi on Android also include new-related cookies features. Vivaldi can now use different languages ​​than what Android is arranged for those who have to conjure up several languages. Updates also brought back the deleted initial page icon when Vivaldi switched to the bottom location for the address bar and tab.
