Comment on New Vivaldi browser breaks website

@harcorutgers Suspect Fanboy's Social Blocking List is causing the blocking. In Settings > Privacy and Security Click on the Edit button for the Light box and un-tick *Fanboy's Social Blocking List. Click the OK box and see if that does the trick...
@lfisk Thank you, that worked.
But why is Fanboy's Social Blocking List a standard setting here? I mean, it's blocking an entire list of links on my website, that includes a signal group, an rss feed and links to open social media like mastodon and oso. I fail to understand why these need to be blocked in a 'light' setting. Can you explain this to me?
Also, the 'strong' and 'agressive' settings at least include a warning that they may or probably will break websites. The 'light' setting does not have a warning like that, but still breaks my website.
@harcorutgers I'm just a user, no different than yourself other than I enjoy helping others...
I manage my own personal blocking list. It works for sites I visit everyday or ones that really piss me off with what they shove in my face.
I have no control over what Blocking lists are being used which is why I maintain my own🤷
@lfisk Thank you, makes sense.
I do hope to get a reply from the Vivaldi team about this at some point, because the way these aggressive new standard settings were rolled out, I'm pretty sure that not all users will be aware what these settings are now actually blocking.
Also, I would like to understand why this list of links on my website would need to be blocked in the first place.
