Unknown insecure content blocked

@Tcll The "Blocked Insecure Content" message you posted is not from the Opera Ad Blocker. It's from the core browser engine. All Blink based browsers display this same message when they detect insecure content. Here's how it looks in Chrome:

@yeswap alright that's fair
I didn't reallize this was a general browser feature and not from opera's core engine-level "extension"

that said though, you're turning core functionality into an extension
why not add extension level functionality for better error reporting as well??

I still hold my offer, I'm willing to add such functionality if you guys aren't
(and being a FOSS supporter, I'm willing to do it for free)

@Tcll Anyway, the info of what URLs were blocked is not very useful for the end user. On the contrary, it may cause confusion since they don't know all the links on the page source.

@Tcll You can do a suggestion for more info to be displayed.

Don't forget to also ask for Chromium.

@leocg hmm...
I guess that's fair
and in defense of that (now that I recall), UBlock does have the default option to display less info, looking like this instead:

Don't forget to also ask for Chromium.

you mean like, request on the Chromium project??
or request on the Chromium build of Opera??

sorry, mind my autism

EDIT: where would I request btw, if here isn't the option do do so??

@Tcll You can do the request here in the forums, in the proper section for it.

Don't know how you can do requests for Chromium.

@leocg oh '3'
alright, sure thing

and as for the chromium bit
I think I'll hold off because chromium doesn't have a built-in ad blocker "extension"
you guys are the only ones doing this I'm afraid, Vivaldi and Brave only have extensions.

I know I can request on their GitHub though, but I highly doubt they'd listen
I think we both know Chromium isn't exactly focused on privacy or chromium-based Opera wouldn't need to exist.
let alone Vivaldi, Brave, Comodo Dragon, and other less secure Chromium-based browsers.

so yeah, I'll just request here since it's your functionality

@Tcll So there would be two requests, one for the adblocker and another for the subject of this topic, the content blocker?

The second one probably would need to be implemented by Chromium.

@leocg or rather, merging the ad blocker and content blocker into a more secure service, and providing extended information for various uses...
I'll be honest, with common sense, I thought Opera's ad blocker and content blocker were the same thing
or rather, logically, I thought Opera's ad blocker was an extension of the content blocker...
why would they be different? that just abstracts the same functionality into something less maintainable

anyways, yeah I'm not making that chromium request
I'm pretty sure chromium isn't going to integrate an ad blocker unless something goes viral and there's a REAL (mainstream) need for it

you guys would have a better chance bashing some security sense into chromium devs than I would
and even then, they'll likely just data collect for google anyways, which isn't exactly comforting
(this is exactly why un-google'd chromium exists)
