Once enabled, the &#8220;Cookie Crumbler&#8221; simply blocks the service asking for consent or hides the dialog.<\/p>\n<p>It is an interesting approach. It is also not enabled by default \u2013 handy, because we came across a few websites that took great exception to a lack of cookie consent. Vivaldi noted as much: &#8220;Some sites may not let you in at all and may not work as you expect them to as they actually require cookie consent for some functionality.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It also admitted: &#8220;This is not a perfect solution, as there will be a few websites that use other tactics to obtain cookie consent.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"adun\" data-pos=\"mid\" data-raptor=\"eagle\" data-xsm=\",mpu_plusplus,\" data-sm=\",mpu_plusplus,\" data-md=\",mpu_plusplus,\"> <noscript> <a href=\"https:\/\/pubads.g.doubleclick.net\/gampad\/jump?co=1&amp;iu=\/6978\/reg_security\/front&amp;sz=300x50%7C300x100%7C300x250%7C300x251%7C300x252%7C300x600%7C300x601&amp;tile=3&amp;c=33YIsE5YtZhZRTIF6IPl21QAAAAAI&amp;t=ct%3Dns%26unitnum%3D3%26raptor%3Deagle%26pos%3Dmid%26test%3D0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pubads.g.doubleclick.net\/gampad\/ad?co=1&amp;iu=\/6978\/reg_security\/front&amp;sz=300x50%7C300x100%7C300x250%7C300x251%7C300x252%7C300x600%7C300x601&amp;tile=3&amp;c=33YIsE5YtZhZRTIF6IPl21QAAAAAI&amp;t=ct%3Dns%26unitnum%3D3%26raptor%3Deagle%26pos%3Dmid%26test%3D0\" alt> <\/a> <\/noscript> <\/div>\n<p>And, to be fair, there are some good reasons why a website might want to use cookies in order to function rather than just for commercial and tracking purposes. Hence the requirement for the user to make the decision to turn the functionality on (and add favoured sites, like <i>The Reg<\/i>, to the exception list).<\/p>\n<p>The setting lurks in the ad-blocking sources. Should things go well, there is every chance it might be enabled by default in a future version.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"crosshead\"> <span>FLoC moved from naughty step to blacklist<\/span><br \/>\n<\/h3>\n<p>The new version also makes good on the company&#8217;s threat to block Google&#8217;s Federated Learning of Cohorts (FLoC) component, which is Mountain View&#8217;s take on ad personalisation in a post-third-party cookie world. It&#8217;s safe to say that browser makers <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/2021\/04\/14\/browser_makers_reject_google_floc\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">have not been keen on the idea<\/a>. Up until now, Google&#8217;s FLoC experiment had been &#8220;prevented from working by not setting the hidden settings that it needed in order to run&#8221; in Vivaldi.<\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s release ups the ante somewhat and shunts the FLoC component to Vivaldi&#8217;s blacklist. &#8220;This means it will not be downloaded and will be removed if it has already been downloaded,&#8221; the company said.<\/p>\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"adun\" data-pos=\"top\" data-raptor=\"falcon\" data-xsm=\",dbutton,mpu_plus,dmpu,\" data-sm=\",dbutton,mpu_plus,dmpu,\" data-md=\",dbutton,mpu_plus,dmpu,\"> <noscript> <a href=\"https:\/\/pubads.g.doubleclick.net\/gampad\/jump?co=1&amp;iu=\/6978\/reg_security\/front&amp;sz=300x50%7C300x100%7C300x250%7C300x251%7C300x252%7C300x600%7C300x601&amp;tile=4&amp;c=44YIsE5YtZhZRTIF6IPl21QAAAAAI&amp;t=ct%3Dns%26unitnum%3D4%26raptor%3Dfalcon%26pos%3Dmid%26test%3D0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pubads.g.doubleclick.net\/gampad\/ad?co=1&amp;iu=\/6978\/reg_security\/front&amp;sz=300x50%7C300x100%7C300x250%7C300x251%7C300x252%7C300x600%7C300x601&amp;tile=4&amp;c=44YIsE5YtZhZRTIF6IPl21QAAAAAI&amp;t=ct%3Dns%26unitnum%3D426raptor%3Dfalcon%26pos%3Dmid%26test%3D0\" alt> <\/a> <\/noscript> <\/div>\n<p>The release also features some light polishing to the user interface and some tweaks to bookmark functionality.
