µBlock, a lean and fast blocker

And thats all for it.

REFERER is handled by firefox (prefs)
Skip Redirect is not RedirectBypasser (which is really excellent)
Canvas Blocker, firefox has fundamental canvas blocker. At least CB needed more exceptions than thought -> kicked off.

and i am runnng a user script "noopener by default" which extends any link to noopener and noreferrer
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Link_types/noopener

i use my own grown collection. i know them all and i do not need to rely on somebody else which may leave the project or may be wrong.

and with a quick view, arken user.js is wrong inparts
user_pref("keyword.enabled", false);
do not exist any longer since ages.

some of those prefs are regular settings, eg credit cards or forms
user_pref("browser.cache.disk.enable", false);
from my view a really stupid settings which makes firefox pretty slow.

"resistFingerprinting"
stupid setting ever whichmake firefox fail on several pages, also on AMO.

i stopped here reading, cant bang that hard my head on the table as most of those settings are really stupid or nonsense.

 

Indeed. I once tried Arkenfox and Firefox felt completely broken...
Reverted.

 

uBlock Origin 1.44.2 Released

https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases/tag/1.44.2

 

Hello @Rasheed187

The first URL is a geographic block for me in the U.S.A.
The second URL is blocked by uBO. It would take trial & error to isolate it.

HTH

Guys would it be possible to continue this interesting discussion in the Firefox thread?

 

i didnt start the fire

 

Updated- Thanks @Gandalf_The_Grey

Thanks for the info, Bertazzoni. No chromium for me, for the foreseeable future. Very little compromise seems doable.

 

thanks, bert.

 

You could use chrome-based browsers with an internal adblocker +DNS feature with block trackers and ads.

Personally, I have struggled so much to increase security/privacy in Edge that I would hate to give it up.

Although as I have written in various threads I have already installed Firefox and finished making changes to the settings.

 

Thanks for checking and weird, didn't expect them to block foreign visitors, and the second link should't be blocked by uBlock, perhaps you are using very aggressive filters. But too bad that no one can figure out how to make these videos playable. It's clearly being blocked by some filter in uBlock, the first one gives me an error and the second one asks me to disable my adblocker.

 

@gorhill has added an "experimental mv3 version".

 

So, pretty useless.

 

thanks, heat.

 

uBlock Origin Minus: an experimental Manifest v3 compatible extension
https://www.ghacks.net/2022/09/09/u...xperimental-manifest-v3-compatible-extension/

 

So i wonder what will pan out over the google change and uBlock's new try to meet the challenge. First step i guess is better than none.

 

uBO Minus, oh man what do I miss medium - and hard mode.

 

I don't get it, uBlock Minus didn't seem to do anything on Vivaldi, does it only work on certain Chromium versions or what?

 

EU US most prevalent ads & trackers ABP format for uBlockOrigin and Adguard no longer updating on my system. "A network error prevented the resource from being updated". Is there a new link for this or is it eol?

 

Yes, new link:

https://github.com/Kees1958/W3C_annual_most_used_survey_blocklist

 

In anticipation of MV3 I started to decrease the personal rules in "My Filters".
I have also eliminated 2 lists in UBO that I placed in Next DNS (2 lists).

 

Is this a kind of self-flagellation?
