• Adjusted Control D URLs
• Cleaned up code

This update has been submitted to all extension stores.

 

What else could I do to make Osprey better? More recommendable? On the level of an ad-blocker, maybe? Features? Providers? Let me know.

 

The various requests I made to you have been rejected.
You could try implementing the GPC signal:

https://globalprivacycontrol.org/

It can be activated on request.
If I'm not mistaken, Privacy Badger also has this feature.

 

Firefox has option for GPC (DNT since v135 no longer usable). so GPC returns:

reference server is blocked here.
GPC is mandatory, not optional

CCPA is the strongest law for privacy.

 

Osprey is more geared toward blocking threats, not necessarily preserving online privacy. I think I'll leave that to privacy browsers and tools like Firefox and Privacy Badger.

 

I like Osprey the way it is. Maybe there are some more providers that could be added, I don't know, but I don't think Osprey should be yet another add blocker and/or privacy tool. Let's keep it simple and effective.

 

Good idea.

 

good combo, in use here - as a minor helper for Adguard which has a whitelist. PB is doing a decent job.
as stated before i dont use osprey any more since months. the options are overwhelming, but not helpful for newcomers - and it can cause more questions than it resolves.

 

I'll work toward creating a simple view for casual users, similar to uBlock Origin.
