µBlock, a lean and fast blocker

Updated via the uBO dashboard. New version for Firefox as promised: 1.42.4

 

fyi, 1.42.4 is the current stable build. the latest stable build is 1.43.0 and it's pending approval from mozilla.

 

Thanks for the clarification!

 

you're welcome, @plat1098 .

 

for firefox the update is available, thx @gorhill
please donate if possible

yeah, afaik he doesn't accept donations.

 

Yep, more info here: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Why-don't-you-accept-donations?

 

Seriously guys?

This is quite easy to check, go to Yahoo Finance and see if the Dow 30 and Nasdaq numbers on top of the website keep changing every few seconds. With me it does do so, but then it all of a sudden stops after a few minutes. I wonder if there is some sort of way to figure out why uBlock is blocking it.

sorry, you are right, was not gorhill, was Aris for his CSS-Collection, my bad. but if, i would have done

 

anyone else dont like the new UI since 1.43.0?
i miss the "allow" (green) field for chosing.

 

Removed because Gorhill definitely advised not to use it because you lose protection.

 

yeah, thx, just found it these minutes
https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases/tag/1.43.0

i remember his words about he may remove it.
nevertheless i am pretty more aware of this as regular users so i wont lose anything. only the latest update of ublock.

It is probably best to leave these lists enabled in uBlock Origin:

• AdGuard URL Tracking Protection
• ClearURLs for uBo

 

I've added DandelionSprout's "Legitimate URL Shortener Tool" to them as well:

Code:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DandelionSprout/adfilt/master/LegitimateURLShortener.txt

 

There's mention the "Allow" green field is removed since 1.43.0. It still works for me the usual way with this version, by toggling it on or off by double-clicking the Ctrl key.

 

There was an update of ClearURLs for uBo List 9 days ago:

https://github.com/DandelionSprout/adfilt/commit/07bbfc2b2c228310af665582c1818efe98295c44

It would be interesting to consider whether:

• It is now more convenient to use the list vs. the extension.
• both are redundant if you use "Actually Legitimate URL Shortener Tool" list in UBO.

 

as you have set the given prefs you should be able to add your own strings. i am sure the list in firefox will grow.

 

I don't see much overlap between these three lists:

 

anyone who uses brave(chromium based fyi) have a good setup for ublock origin browser-based that isn't heavy on filters and can pass the https://d3ward.github.io/toolz/adblock.html with 100% or close to it

 

You can use Brave built-in Adblock with default lists, run test at site and add any missed domains to Brave Adblock. You'll get 100% when you re-test.

Or you can run µBO with lists of your choice, run the test, add missed domains and re-test. Voila! I don't know how meaningful this test is so ...

 

Other than the bad number count total on ClearURLs for uBo I agree and don't see
much overlap on the 3 lists.

 

Use uBO with Dynamic Filtering in medium or, better yet, hard blocking mode.

 

hard mode seems to work with slight tweaks and adding the fix URLs stuff and the ddward list
