Vivaldi Stable 2.6.1566.40

https://vivaldi.com/blog/vivaldi-browser...-and-more/

The new version – Vivaldi 2.6 – arrives with improved security, and new options for quicker navigation and customization.

We’ve added a new functionality to block adverts that use abusive technologies and ads designed to be misleading. The Abusive ad-blocker functionality stops ads from sites that are causing you problems, such as pop-ups that prevent you from leaving the site.
The Abusive ad-blocker gives the browser access to a blocklist that has been enabled by default and can be turned off in the “Privacy” section of Vivaldi Settings. This feature is an addition to our wide range of privacy settings.
