  1. DuckDuckGo blocks YouTube ads by default on iPhone, Windows, Mac: The feature relies on uBlock Origin's filter lists and is already default for iPhone, Windows and Mac users, with the Android rollout timing still unannounced. ppc.land/duckduckgo-blocks-you #DuckDuckGo #YouTubeAds #AdBlocking #Privacy #uBlockOrigin

  2. They held out for a good while, but at last @Vivaldi no longer supports uBlock Origin because it is Chromium based.

    I've been testing out @Waterfox for the past week and it's a pretty good browser with Firefox bones sans all the bloat and AI junk - and it supports uBlock Origin - so I'll be using that as my primary web browser from now on.

  4. Ah crap, I've been so overwhelmed and burned out on everything else I forgot that with the sunset of the #UBlockOrigin thing I need to find a new ad blocking solution for our staff. Shit.

    What's everyone else using? Is this doable through Intune policy alone yet?

  6. Il browser di DuckDuckGo ora blocca le pubblicità di YouTube grazie ai filtri #uBlockOrigin. La funzione è attiva di default su #iPhone, Windows e Mac, mentre su Android va abilitata manualmente. #privacy #duckduckgo

    Hmm. This seems like a rather interesting set of domain names. They certainly seem auto-generated. I wonder if they're designed to work around adblock technologies downstream of javascript blocking by rotating domains quickly. But the domains are old! Or at least, the topmost .xyz one is. Current registration is from November 2025. Bigdomaindata.com query first picked it up in August of 2024. AND uBlockOrigin blocks me from loading the domain (it's on EasyList):

    19706903.xyz

    Which lists this GitHub issue:

    github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAsset

    Which references

    ad-shield.cc

    Which uBO also blocks, but viewing shows:

    >Notice for cybersecurity professionals

    >
    >This domain provides authorized services through official partnerships with publishers. html-load.com supports the delivery of ads and essential web assets, helping digital publishers enforce access control to ad-supported content in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

    So... yeah. It *is* an attempt to work around adblockers. It's just a shitty attempt.

  10. 🛡️ uBlock Origin’s Chrome extension has quietly added protections against ClickFix by updating its badware filter list, blocking known sites used to trick users into copying & executing malicious commands. The rules also appear to cover uBlock Origin Lite. 🔒

  12. #tersoftware de extensões de navegador: se vc que usa o uBlock e não sabe disso, vc pode clicar no ícone de conta gotas (Entrar no modo de seleção de elementos) e selecionar elementos no site que vc não quer ver nunca mais.

    Ótimo pra remover pedidos insistentes (seja propaganda, botão pra aceitar cookies, etc) dos sites que você frequenta.

  14. Issue: I browse the internets using Firefox, with JS disabled via #uBlockOrigin. Every time I visit a Mastodon instance, I have to manually enable JS for that URL.

    Question: Can uBlock Origin detect Mastodon instances and enable JS for them automatically?

    I will investigate this, but thought I'd post here as well.

  15. Is anyone working to block #PostHog first-party routing on U.S. federal websites?

    It appears that #UBlockOrigin could do it but it would require a list of custom network filters.

  20. Chrome phases out Manifest V2, removing uBlock Origin bypasses as Chromium 151 fully drops MV2 extension support and deprecates legacy flags. 🧱
    Edge and Opera are expected to follow the shift toward MV3, while users are pushed toward alternatives like uBlock Origin Lite or non-Chromium browsers. 🔄

  22. Wer in letzter Zeit viel mehr Werbung im Netz sieht, der verwendet vielleicht einen Chrome-basierten Browser, auf dem jetzt die beliebte #uBlockOrigin -Erweiterung nicht mehr läuft (danke, Google).

    Bis der #ladybird browser draußen ist, macht es deshalb Sinn, jetzt zu #Firefox zu wechseln. Für wen sich FF der Standard-Variante immer etwas langsam und umständlich anfühlt, dem kann ich #Floorp empfehlen: floorp.app

    Floorp is kompatibel mit allen Firefox Addons, also auch mit denen im Bereich Sicherheit: addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/

    Und mit diese ⬇️ 6 Erweiterungen macht das Surfen auch wieder Spaß.
