    Ahh now it works, First, I enabled the Fanboy's annoyances list, Facebook still showed me ads and people I may know

    then I added the facebook annoyances list from this list: abp:subscribe?location=https%3A%2F%2Feasylist-downloads.adblockplus.org%2Ffb_annoyances_full.txt&title=facebook%20annoyances%20blocker

    unlike before, now it prompted me to add it to my custom filters list in uBlock and it works :)

    Does these command line (disallow-doc-written-script-loads & enable-framebusting-needs-sameorigin-or-usergesture) currently have effect? I can't find source about them...
    It seems many of were-once-useful commands are removed, tho enable-strict-site-isolation was marged to site-per-process and there're some new switches like enable-strict-powerful-feature-restrictions. It's almost impossible to keep up with latest changes...

    BTW, what about my idea to make uBlock block Flash and HTML5 Video? Also, what about an option to only block scripts? I still would like to block scripts on Google, but I can't figure out how to do this with uBlock without breaking the page, like with NoScript.

    The right click context menu doesn't seem to be working in FF / CF on one of my machines since updating to 1.9.16, and yes I have that setting enabled.

    It works as normal on my other two machines and in Chrome on the machine with this issue.

    Any ideas?

    Edit: Resetting to default then importing my setup file seems to of fixed it.

    Is that this? https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/issues/308. Looks frustrating for users and developer.

    I totally forgot about this, it was already mentioned earlier in the thread. But it's a big problem for me, since there aren't any good script-blockers for Vivaldi/Chrome strangely enough. Google with scripting enabled feels a bit choppy and for some reason I can't turn off "auto-suggest".

    What's wrong with ScriptSafe?

    Slightly out of topic: It is possible to install µBlock Origin into Ungoogled? If yes, than how? Thanks!

    @gorhill: I noticed WebExtension capture exceptions being mentioned in the chrome.webRequest docs:
    and on the Firefox side I saw a couple of capture related bugs plus comments that indicate Mozilla is intending to prevent WebExtensions from capturing at least Firefox's own background traffic. So under both platforms, and I'm guessing others, it appears that it will not be possible to... even on an admin-configured-exception basis... have a WebExtension that can monitor or block all traffic.

    Is that your understanding? Would you happen to be documenting these limitations, somewhere, for your own extensions? I, maybe others too, would like to know what you've found.

    do you need to deactivate uBlock Origin or will both work along side each other?

    You can use uBlockO or uBlockO-webextension, not both at the same time. And if you want to try the webextension you must have a nightly version of Firefox (52+).

    Thanks, so it will be enabled by default in future version.
     
  22. I always thought uBlock0 was the extension with the lowest memory footprint?

    Size does not equal RAM. ;)

    This shows how much disk space extension occupies. It doesn't tell us how it behaves once it's loaded.
    I see that Krusty beat me to it :)
