The creators of uBlock Origin are the closest thing we have to internet superheroes

i find sad that so many open system still are on github and do not move out to codeberg.

i mean, why crying about AI, yet not moving out AI enabled github ?

So i continue to search an anternative outside of US to plug my adblock cache into.

And do not count on Adguard list, they use AWS and Cloudflare extensively so they are just yet another EU washing company, as nothing work without US infra.

Marre des pubs et des trackers ? Voilà pourquoi il faut utiliser un Adblock VPN http://dlvr.it/TPpmMV #Adblock #VPN

so i need help here.

I reverse engeneered this test : https://adblock-test.getblockify.com/

i managed to find some "ads and tracking" that my adblock missed, but one slip trough my hand, and i would like to ask someone else, as i fail to see it, it's the "Facebook Ads iframe" the only one my adblock miss and i don't find in my reversing of this script.

if you find a working adblock rules i would be grateful.

Thanks in advance

How to Turn Off Your Ad Blockers So You Can Watch The Game Awards

Also while I'm at it, thinking of turning another older laptop into a firewall to filter out ads, idk, is that worthwhile to do? I mean, I don't expect 100% blocking but would it be significant enough to warrant that effort?

> The key legal question here is: Does modifying how a website displays through browser-side tools like ad blockers count as breaking the [copyright] law?

This is ridiculous. There are so many ways to display a #webpage. So, would using custom #CSS also violate the #law? Or using a browser like Lynx that just shows the text? Or viewing raw HTML? If anything, it's the raw #code that should be copyrighted. #ad #adblock #legal #internet #netzpolitik #browser #copyright

every time when people whine an ad is made with AI.

@abstractcode Happened to me today as well.

The Houston Chronicle: “You’re not allowing ads. Subscribe or turn off your adblocker to see this story.”

Me: “There is a third option… how about ‘no’?”

Das ist einfach Selbstverteidigung und sollte zu den Grundrechten gehören.

I almost forgot an upcoming anniversary. 20 years ago I wrote this comment complaining about the state of the AdBlock extension: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=315754#c12. I’m trying to reconstruct from my emails what happened later (I didn’t archive IRC discussions unfortunately).

While the AdBlock devs claimed that everything was fine, on 2005-11-29 Mozilla was contacting everyone listed as an AdBlock contributor (myself included), trying to find someone who could update it for the Firefox 1.5 release. Mozilla already made the necessary adjustments on addons.mozilla.org but back then update manifests were self-hosted, and somebody had to modify the file on the AdBlock website. The only person with the necessary access was rue, the project maintainer at the time, everybody else could only stand by helplessly.

At some point over the next two weeks I convinced rue to let me improve code quality of AdBlock, with improved maintainability as one of the goals. I’m not sure when I started this work which turned into a complete rewrite (yes, the codebase was that bad) but on 2005-12-16 I was looking for people to help me test it, saying that the extension would be ready by tomorrow. It actually took one day longer, on 2005-12-18 I posted an almost finished version in a Russian-language web developers forum: https://web.archive.org/web/20061011145831/http://xpoint.ru/forums/programming/XUL/thread/34705.xhtml

That’s when rue got cold feet, they considered the changes too extensive. Things went quickly downhill from there, and I think one of the closing comments from them went along the lines of “developing a browser extension for millions of users takes more than a big mouth.” I don’t think AdBlock ever had millions of users.

On 2005-12-19 I was already trying to see where Mozilla stands on yet another AdBlock fork being published (a fork called Adblock Plus already existed, though it wasn’t listed on addons.mozilla.org). On 2005-12-21 I contacted the developers of Adblock Plus, asking them whether they would allow me to use the name of their project so that there aren’t two competing AdBlock forks around.

By 2006-01-10 I was done rewriting the rest of the code, and an allowlist functionality was added as well (originally I was prohibited from adding this feature, it being planned for AdBlock 0.6 which never got released). This is the changelog which I was sharing at that point: https://palant.info/temp/ABP_changelog.txt

On 2006-01-13 I got a permission from Adblock Plus devs to publish my code as Adblock Plus 0.6, sort of as an update to their project. At the same time rue seemed to have a change of heart once again, saying that I would be allowed to publish my rewrite as AdBlock 0.7. I didn’t quite trust this arrangement (rightfully so), so on 2006-01-14 I submitted an application for an Adblock Plus project page on mozdev.org.

Adblock Plus 0.6 has finally been published on 2006-01-17. The rest is history…

Eugh YouTube is experimenting with new homepage ad embedding that Ublock has trouble picking.

You're owned by a huge, rich tech company, leave me the fuck alone!

After #dns0 shut down, I switched my router over to #Mullvad #DNS over TLS. I use their base DNS with fallback to #adblock. However, every couple of days (maybe once a week?) my router loses connection. Everything works again after restarting the router. Does anyone else have that problem?

Ich werde auf YouTube geblockt. Ich bin damit raus, weil ich meine Gesundheit nicht aufs spiel setzen möchte. Meine Gesundheit ist mir sehr wichtig und ohne die Blocker kann ich mich nicht auf YouTube aufhalten. Ich habe nicht nur uBlock, sondern auch uMatrix und Distract Free YouTube eingesetzt. Letzteres ist unverzichtbar für mich. Also bin ich Dauerhaft aus YouTube raus.

Tschüss YouTube.

I wonder how hard #YouTube is going after #adblocking. I almost never watch in a browser these days, but prefer watching videos in #SmartTube on television, with its built-in #adblocker.

The other day I turned it on, and there was an update. Fine. I watched twenty minutes of videos, and there was another. Some days there are three. So far SmartTube is winning, so I donated for a third time. #adblock
