#ublockoriginlite — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #ublockoriginlite, aggregated by home.social.

  1. gorhill had to exclude @pgl's list and uBlock Origin's badware list from uBlock Origin Lite Safari, as the way Safari counted the rules caused these lists to count has far more rules than they would in Chrome or Firefox.
    Safari's odd counting inflated the number of rules in these lists to the point where they made it difficult to enable regional lists since enabling other lists would cause the number of filters to exceed the maximum allowed.

  2. Steven Black's hosts blocklist has been removed from uBlock Origin Lite. This change will take effect in the next update.

    github.com/gorhill/uBlock/comm

    The commit removing it cited an issue thread where a user complained uBlock Origin Lite was breaking stripchat.com, a pornography website.
    I have confirmed Steven Black's list contains a filter blocking the domain stripchat.com

    A comment in the HOSTS file states the entry was "Added April 28, 2023".
    In an issue thread from 2025, the maintainer explained the reasoning behind blocklisting it:

    The domain stripchat.com isn't just porn. It's also a pop-over and pop-under site that appears in many contexts, typically porn but not exclusively.

    As such, it's just like LiveJasmine an others which we include in our regular list because it's also adware. And annoying.

    github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/i

    In an issue thread from two weeks ago concerning breakage on theweathernetwork.com which was cited in the stripchat thread, mapx stated the maintainer was unresponsive to messages on an internal discussion platform.

    github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAsset

    Messages in an internal discussion platform show Ryan Brown and an AdGuard employee were informed about breakage on theweathernetwork.com caused by their lists respectively. However, I have been unable to locate the messages referenced by mapx. It is possible they were sent through private messaging, on another platform, or the message is not being returned by my searches.
    As such, while I do not believe mapx is lying, I have been unable to verify this claim.

    Due to the lack of granularity in DNS level blocklists, it is not possible to unblock a domain only for a specific website, or only block specific URLs on a domain.
    According to an issue thread from 2021, the domain in question - assets-jpcust.jwpsrv.com - is used for serving both advertisements and legitimate content.

    Steven Black's list was first added to uBlock Origin Lite in 2022. It is not included in uBlock Origin.

  5. EasyList, EasyPrivacy, and Peter Lowe's list are now listed separately in uBlock Origin Lite.
    Previously, all three of these filters were combined with uBlock Origin's filters and listed as "Ads, trackers, miners, and more".

  6. So in chromium 135 I'm finally seeing V2 (and by extension ublock origin) disabled.

    I switched to ublock origin lite, and after a few days of usage I haven't actually noticed a difference, other than needing to manually configure aggressive filtering and also the missing ability to disable javascript for the site.

    Anything in particular that works much worse in ublock origin lite compared to ublock origin?

  7. @merleleperle.bsky.social Bis Juni wird der Workaround noch funktionieren, danach voraussichtlich nicht mehr. Der Hintergrund dazu ist, dass die Erweiterung auf der Extensions Platform „Manifest V2“ basiert, die in künftigen Chrome-Versionen nicht mehr enthalten sein wird:
    developer.chrome.com/docs/exte

    Alternativen ab Juni sind entweder #uBlockOriginLite (vom selben Developer, aber mit weniger Funktionsumfang) oder der Wechsel auf einen anderen Browser:

    #Chrome #adblocker stopped working? Time to look elsewhere
    #uBlock recommends a move to #Firefox and use of the extension uBlock Origin, a switch to a browser that will support Manifest v2, or downloading a different extension – #uBlockOriginLite, for example.

  11. #Google #Chrome disables #uBlock Origin for some in #ManifestV3 rollout
    For those unaware, Manifest V3 is Chrome's latest extension specification and is designed to limit extension access to user network requests, block developers from utilizing remote content, and improve overall performance.
    If you're affected by Google's #ManifestV2 deprecation, you can switch to Manifest V3-supported extensions, such as the #uBlockOriginLite, which #uBlockOrigin developer has created.

  12. Breaking, via Kia: there is once again a Firefox version of uBlock Origin Lite, which can be downloaded from the GitHub repository. The extension is not back on the Mozilla Addons Store.

  17. uBlock Origin Lite (and seemingly only uBlock Origin Lite) briefly included xRuffKez's newly registered phishing domains list (github.com/xRuffKez/NRD).
    The decision to add it was met with immediate backlash from members of the uBlock Origin team, who raised concerns about the apparent lack of internal discussion, and questions as to the origins of the entries in xRuffKez's list and possibilities of false positives.
    Today, it was removed citing "team feedback", and replaced with URLHaus, which is already included in uBlock Origin.

  23. Интернет-магазин Chrome от Google начал предупреждать о скором удалении расширения для блокировки рекламы uBlock Origin из-за прекращения поддержки спецификаций Manifest V2.

    В качестве альтернативы пользователи могут перейти на расширения, совместимые с Manifest V3, такие как uBlock Original Lite, однако его возможности сильно урезаны, а способности к блокировке рекламы ограничены.

    uBlock Origin продолжает работать в Firefox.

    Однако в сентябре в Mozilla ошибочно заблокировала дополнение uBlock Origin Lite в Firefox. После чего автор расширения обиделся на Mozilla и удалил страницу из каталога addons.mozilla.org.

  24. Breaking, from Kia: gorhill will not maintain a Firefox version of uBlock Origin Lite.
    This comes after Mozilla erroneously flagged uBlock Origin Lite, leading gorhill to remove the extension from the Mozilla Addons Store: infosec.exchange/@iampytest1/1

  25. An unsigned package of uBlock Origin Lite 2024.9.12.1004 was accidentally published.
    The error was corrected earlier today.
    Only the Firefox download was affected.
    This comes only days after gorhill pulled uBlock Origin Lite off the Mozilla Addons store and began hosting downloads exclusively on GitHub: infosec.exchange/@iampytest1/1

  26. According to a member of the uBlock Origin team, and a Mozilla employee (different people):
    gorhill has voluntarily taken down uBlock Origin Lite from the Mozilla Addons store and did not request Mozilla re-review the extension.
    gorhill has announced the extension will only be available to be downloaded from GitHub.
    This comes after Mozilla erroneously flagged an update to uBlock Origin Lite as violating their data collection polices. Mozilla did not remove the extension, and just blocked new updates.
    A Mozilla employee raised the issue internally, but it seems gorhill is unwilling to appeal, originally stating

    I don't have the time or motivation to spend time on this nonsense, so I will let AMO do whatever they want with uBOL.

    This is a developing story, and new or corrected information may come out.
