[Suggestion]Show which trackers were blocked

Let me see who's tracking me — not just block them

Opera should stop hiding the war. We (the users) want to see it.

Opera silently blocks trackers, and cookies and while that’s good, we (the users) can't verify if it works because Opera does so silently. The browser protects you in the shadows. That’s not enough. I want visibility, insights and evidence.

Opera should show me which sites try to fingerprint? Who’s pinging third-party servers? Which scripts are trying to detect my device configuration, canvas ID, audio stack? Who’s building a shadow profile off my font list and screen resolution?

Opera should not just block, rather, it should expose.

Opera should give us (the users) a per-site privacy dashboard. Every time a tracker is blocked, I want to know when it was blocked and have a knowledge of it being blocked. A notification, an alert, or a log should show up when creepy things happen behind the scenes when a site is visited. Opera should let me drill into the details. It should tell me who tried the creepy behaviour, what method did the user or organisation use to try the creepy act, and when did who-knows-who try the creepy act?

Right now, privacy on Opera is a black box. That creates trust for some, but limits control for the rest of us. Power users don’t want passive protection. We want a transparent firewall, a window into the fight.

Opera should let us (the users) whitelist specific scripts, let us (the users) see attempted tracking events, not just the ones you caught. Name the culprits (the user (s) or organisation (s)) responsible for it.

Opera already has a browser AI. It should feed the data into it. Let the AI summarize tracking attempts, score privacy aggression per site, detect emerging fingerprinting techniques — and let it speak to us (the users).

Data visibility is privacy’s second half. Without it, I’m blind, even when I’m protected.

Opera can lead the industry here. Brave already does this, but Chrome doesn't. Firefox makes it obscure (uncertain). Opera should make privacy visual, interactive, and actionable. It should let users feel the friction. It should let us see the claws behind the glass.

It should give us insight, not just insulation.

Benefits of this feature:

It empowers users with real-time awareness of tracking attempts.
It builds trust by showing what Opera is actually doing under the hood.
It encourages transparency and user education on digital privacy threats.
It appeals to power users and privacy enthusiasts who demand granular control.
This differentiates Opera from some other competitors with a unique, AI-powered privacy visualization layer.
