So I can disable this adware-like features?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Yes, see the settings. Also said in the article. It isn't adware, if you click in a sponsor link in Vivaldi, the page of the sponsor only see that someone has done it with the Vivaldi browser, but no who it was. That is the way how Vivaldi makes money for its infrastructure, servers and incommings for the employees which owns this company (Vivaldi is an employee-owned cooperative, no big boss, nor third party investors). Using the sponsor links is only the user choice, if he want to support the Vivaldi project, alternatively you can make donations or buy something in it's store if you want.
