#uBlockOrigin

I've tried so hard to find an alternative browser to Firefox, and on Android in particular I just can't justify it! Extension support (which means uBlock Origin), great performance, not technically dependent on Google (but financially dependent) and I love the reader view, which is vastly superior to the Chromium equivalent. Bottom line, its just better for me, and whilst I'm disappointed with the privacy changes and the AI nonsense its still the best browser for me. #MozillaFirefox #WebBrowsers #uBlockOrigin

C++ Wage Slave

As always, #AdBlocking is #infosec:

If you're still using #GoogleChrome or #MicrosoftEdge then switch to #Firefox and install the #uBlockOrigin extension. It works on desktop and on Android. That alone will give you a safer, more enjoyable browsing experience.

Infoblox Infographic – Inside of malicious adtech:Who's who
Infosec ExchangeInfoblox Threat Intel (@InfobloxThreatIntel@infosec.exchange)Attached: 1 image Like CEOs at Coldplay concerts, we keep finding malicious adtech hiding behind well-known advertising brands. While these platforms may appear credible, they allow malicious actors access to their platform, and profit from their successes. Our posts often focus on adtech operators because they are the ones who manage the infrastructure. But they are not the only ones profiting from this business. Affiliates play a big role by driving traffic (aka visitors) to the adtech platform (TDS). Malicious affiliates do this by tricking visitors into clicking hidden links or manipulating pages to redirect them automatically. They are so good at it that they generate a profit just due to the sheer volume of traffic they drive into the platform. Legitimate affiliates do this by posting what they believe to be normal ads on their web pages, tempted by promises of big rewards. Unfortunately for them, this is rarely the reality, and there are many reports of affiliates being underpaid or not paid at all. Additionally, affiliates risk damaging their own brand image – no one wants their legitimate website redirecting to malware, right? As a user, regardless of how you find yourself diverted into a malicious TDS, if you happen to fit the profile then you face the risk of being sent to a malicious landing page. Scams, disinformation, malware…you name it. As there are many players involved in this scheme, we’ve created an infographic that highlights who they are and how they fit into the malicious adtech landscape. Have you come across any of these shady platforms or, worse, been lured into becoming part of the scheme? Let us know! #dns #threatintel #threatintelligence #cybercrime #cybersecurity #infosec #infoblox #infobloxthreatintel #adtech #maliciousadtech #advertising #affiliates #scam #malware #phishing

This post explains why and how Kaushik Gopal uses Firefox and provides some handy tips.

He recommends enabling the AdGuard filters in the uBlock Origin settings but the extension flags all of them as out of date. Any issues with these filters?

Update: I need to refresh and apply the filter list. Thanks @laurentb

kau.sh🦊 How to Firefox - Kaushik Gopal's WebsiteChrome finally pulled the trigger on the web’s best ad-blocker, uBlock Origin. Now that Chrome has hobbled uBO, Firefox—my beloved—1 is surging again. I want to do my part to convince you to switch to Firefox and show you how I use it.

... "# Followed hashtags" list, in the 3rd right side column, is useless to me as it shows only 3 tags (instead of making the tag list occupy the whole vertical column & making it scrollable).

#uBlockOrigin "element picker" picks up the rather generic class and picks the title & the list of tags separately; either they are actually separate, or am incapable of precise enough mouse movement. Ah ":r1:"!

Need to bust out "Web Developer Tools" to be more specific ...

Soderle, es ist so weit.

#Google #Chrome hat #uBlockOrigin endgültig gekillt.

Abgesehen davon, dass dieses Vorgehen den Browser bei mir ebenfalls killt, was ist jetzt die bevorzugte Lösung?

Außer FireFuchs noch ein anderer Browser?

Oder diesen DNS-Blocker auf #Raspberry? Wie hieß der nochmal?

(edit) Ergänzung:
Ich habe Vivaldi und Brave getestet. Die basieren auf Firefox und blocken die Werbung weg. Aber was, wenn FF die Blocker nicht mehr unterstützen würde?

Moin!
Da ich erfolglos die Einstellung in #Mastodon gesucht habe, um den #Ausblenden -Klotz, der rechts oben Teile von Bildern verdeckt, abzuschalten, mach ich es eben nach dem Rat meines Vaters:"Du darfst dich dumm anstellen, solange du dir zu helfen weißt, mein Junge! "

In Adblocker uBlockOrigin bei eigenen Filtern

troet.cafe##.media-gallery__actions__pill

eintragen (natürlich troet.cafe durch eigene Instanz ersetzen) & speichern

experimentell, also keine Garantie
