That will be very interesting to test!
Mrk

 

Indeed as I have been using Adguard for years!

 

Just now trying uBO Lite, again. I found Developer mode.
Um, where do my Custom filters reside? Created custom filters a few times to reclaim empty space on Hotmail & Yahoo mail. But, don't see them listed...like with uBO -> Custom filters.

Ahha! Thanks! Regards w Respect

 

somehow and somewhere he gets uBoL for firefox signed...

is it normal that importing my rules in dev-mode and ubol throws an error? and after re-opening no more?
i have ~2000 custom rules.

 

Interesting.
I thought there no longer was a uBO Lite version for Firefox, but I see a beta version is available for Firefox.

 

i stored from github, "beta" status. well after months i changed to adguard. but i keep my eyes open to ubol. but i have no results as ubol only exists in my profile for testing purpose, which is cluttered sometimes.

 

Yes, that is what I meant, uBO Lite beta for Firefox, signed xpi.

I didn't know such a version was available for Firefox.
I am very happy with the regular uBlock Origin for Firefox, but it is good to see the uBO Lite version is not dead.

but you use browser extension or full desktop app which is 2 times better and more effective?!

the image "only" is worth nuts, you have to link the whole article why (1)(2)(3) is depending.

ofc the extension is limited. further, i dont need the desktop app, but i know premium for my android.

but let focus on ubol here, not atguard!

as i wrote, i have an eye on ubol, but currently not active used. a matter of gorhill.
