Achtung

Achtlose #Fedinauten spammen das Fediverse mit sogenannten #Sharelinks zu.

Das heißt, eine URL zu einer Webseite, z.B. Zeitungsartikel wird verkürzt, damit es "netter" aussieht.

Der Preis dafür ist, dass der Shortener-Dienst eure Daten bekommt, die zuvor nie erhoben wurden.

Als Beispiel ein wahlloser Artikel der TAZ.
https://taz.de/Vor-den-Wahlen-in-der-Elfenbeinkueste/!6123349/

Nun gibt es Leute, die machen daraus https:// share.google/viel-bessere-url

Damit ihr nicht immer wieder in die Falle tappt, besucht 1x https:// share.google (ohne Leerzeichen) und blockt die domain und Anhang bei @ublockorigin, #umatrix oder welchen Blocker ihr gerade nutzt.

Auf direktem Wege im Browser geht das auch so.
Einstellungen – Erweiterungen und Themes – uBlock Origin – Meine Filter – eintragen, abspeichern

Die Lösung gilt für alle Shortener, die ihr ablehnt.

Currently, I have some filters set up through uBlock to make my Lemmy browsing more tolerable. For keywords, I copied some scripts that look like this, with one line and each word separated by a vertical bar: lemmy.ca##article.row:has-text(/keyword|keyword|keyword|etc/i)

But the url filters I use only seem to work if they are separated into individual lines, e.g.: lemmy.ca##div.post-listing:has([href*="url/"])

lemmy.ca##div.post-listing:has([href*="url/"])

I was wondering if it's possible to condense the url lines to make it a bit more manageable in the same way the keyword filter is.

Just discovered a @ublockorigin list that blocks pages with AI imagery from your Google (and DuckDuckGo) search results:

https://github.com/laylavish/uBlockOrigin-HUGE-AI-Blocklist

A missing and important #security feature for @ublockorigin: add a per-subscription option for whether each subscription is allowed to use trusted filters, and make it default to unchecked for all non-default subscriptions. As it stands malicious compromise of any filter subscription allows arbitrary code injection into any or every page, using, for example, trusted-replace-node-text on any script element. It's the same #supplyChain threat model as malicious Python/Ruby/Node/R/etc. packages or malicious VS Code or browser extensions.

#uBlockOrigin #supplyChainSecurity #supplyChainAttack

@ublockorigin being available on IPhone is great. Everyone should have ad blockers and try to protect what little #privacy

Google finally disabled Manifest V2 extensions in Chromium version 140!

Unlike previous releases where they already tried to push users towards removing #uBlock origin and other V2 extensions, it was still possible to re enable them.
Today I had to switch to uBlock Origin Lite and jokes on you #YouTube I don't see any ads. Just two days ago they launched another attempt to prevent me from using #adblock and within hours, uBlock managed to bypass it, thanks.

Irgendwas stimmt mit #fennec aus #fdroid nicht. Mache Erweiterungen führen dazu, das Webseiten ewig brauchen, bis sie laden.
Das muss ein bug im Browser sein, denke ich.

Egal ob #ublockorigin oder #privacybadger

From r/ublockorigin:

"For uBO users:

A potential fix has been published which may solve the detection issue for many users.

Click here to receive the fix, and then restart your browser.

Users will also receive the fix automatically in a few hours.

It is important that everyone understands that there are many reasons for YouTube adblock detection, and the fix may not be applicable for all cases.

If the fix doesn't resolve the issue for you, then please follow ALL of the instructions in the YouTube Mega Thread, including how to properly report issues.

For uBO Lite (uBOL) users:

A new uBO Lite (uBOL) thread has been created on GitHub for YouTube issues, and this is where all uBOL-related issues with YouTube should be posted.

https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/issues/28707

The potential fix for the YT detection issue will be included in the next release of uBOL.

Please note that filters are only updated in uBOL when a new version is released, and users will need to wait until then for the fix. There is no exact date for when that will happen, but it should be relatively soon."

Sometimes I'm even getting larger 'stacks' of lines from separators between 'promoted' content on #LinkedIn. Thanks to customer filters in #AdNauseam or @ublockorigin these can be blocked. (Too bad I haven't been able to block 'suggested' content, yet).

Total #enshittification of #BigTech social media.

Hello

It was crazy hard to find a rule that actually worked to remove any videos - so I thought I might share it with others here. There are so many old or broken Reddit and SuperUser "solutions" in the web that just do not work (anymore?).

Here is a simple rule (yet heavy on rendering time) you can add to your filterlist if you want to block videos containing a trigger word:

youtube.com##yt-formatted-string:has-text(TRIGGERWORD_HERE):upward(ytd-rich-item-renderer)

e.g: for me "Trump"

youtube.com##yt-formatted-string:has-text(Trump):upward(ytd-rich-item-renderer)

Thought that might help someone else who might be searching for this in the future.

Hey @Vivaldi do you plan on still supporting Manifest v2 extensions? If so, are you going to open your own extension repository so extensions like @ublockorigin can still be downloaded?

The weird thing is that I'm sure it didn't always do this. I thought it might be because I'm trying to cast with FX_Cast but even with Chrome this also happens. In the past this sometimes happened when you'd expect, if the internet was particularly slow that day for some reason, or if I try to play something with a high frame rate, but in general I could expect HD 1080p quality. While I can't know exactly what quality is casting, it looks more like 480 and sometimes 360.

Don't know if its relevant, but it's a chromecast 1 I've been using since 2014.

So, it definitely doesn't work now, but it's just, I swear I used to able to avoid ads while casting to chromecast by using my computer with ublock origin installed in favour of the android youtube app.

I'm already blocking it but manually unblocking stuff every time I visit a new webpage is getting kinda annoying. Does it make that much of a difference? Do you think it's worth the hassle?

Hi, I want to hide an element on a webpage, but a portion of that changes every time I reload the page. It looks something like this:

example.com##class_123456 > element

The bit with the numbers changes every time. I would like to replace this with a regex to match every numeric string of any length. I tried to figure it out myself but couldn't get it to work.

Any help is appreciated, thanks :)

For a few days now, it seems that Ublock is not blocking Twitch ads. Does it happen to you too?

I wanna block "Sort by" and "Over time period" to make the page cleaner and look nicer.

I use ublock origin in Librewolf configured with Blocking mode: medium mode. As this mode blocks all 3rd party scripts and frames by default there's a lot of login sites that don't work because the use of captchas, so after some internet searching I've managed to make it work with following configuration in uBO my rules. You can replace * for a specific domain rule.

recaptcha

* https://www.google.com/recaptcha/ sub_frame noop

I've identified some sites that use other captchas

dropbox

If you have other configs you can share here.

How to use them: Simply go to the uBlock settings, paste the ones you want in the My filters section and click in Apply changes.

The FBI advises AdBlocker because of attack vector from cybercriminals and that will mean quite a bit. I advise you to be careful which one you use, because some are also malware and I recommend @ublockorigin.
