Re: how to know which link tot trust

I don't know how to efficiently search through all installed lists at once in uBlock Origin. Searching in filter lists seem to be a needless over-complication. Just look at the overview pane in the popup panel to find out what domains/hostnames uBO wholly block -- this gives a good hint at what is ...

Re: RIP µMatrix?

^ I got it through modifying uBlock Origin code, adding this as a built-in resource. But it would be much better to do it with stock uBlock Origin. How to? This cannot be done without the replacement document being a web accessible resource. The replacement document has to communicate with uBO's ma...

Re: CNAME Uncloaking

uBlock Origin has that feature for privacy reasons No, I added this feature in uBO for informed consent and control reason. uBO is not a "privacy tool", this is reductive, uBO is a wide spectrum content blocker which features and especially advanced features has both privacy and security ...

I don't understand those numbers - https://xkcd.com/985/ What I posted has nothing to do with that xkcd strip -- I didn't compute percents of percents, the figures just show the delta of market share between at two points in time (I provided the graph from statcounter so you can see my refutation o...

Re: Using uBlock Origin to replace NoScript surrogates?

In testing, I only had to set uBlock Origin to block an affected resource in dynamic filtering... and the surrogate ran, even though NoScript was also blocking the resource! If NoScript blocked the request, there should be no redirection, as blocking has precedence over redirecting. Consider two ex...

Re: Using uBlock Origin to replace NoScript surrogates?

Does this work even if uBlock Origin didn't do the blocking of the resource? No. The order to redirect can only be made at onBeforeRequest or onHeadersReceived time, so by the time another extension cancels a network request, it's too late for uBO to redirect, as onErrorOccurred is observational on...

Not a uBO issue, this was most likely caused by NoScript and fixed when it stopped using filterResponseData in this commit:

off-topic discussion comparing NS & µMatrix - split from t=23656

µMatrix UI has a very steep learning curve (being intended only for advanced users, unlike NoScript which is supposed to be accessible to intermediate users). You exaggerate in an unfair way, uMatrix is no more difficult to use than NoScript. The matrix is a pure what-you-see-is-what-you-get, with ...

Re: https://www.easygov.swiss escapes noScript

Normally I see the site and all the dependant sites like google analytics Scripts from google-analytics.com and other 3rd-party servers are loaded through the googletagmanager.com script. So if the googletagmanager.com script is blocked, nothing else will be reported simply because the browser is n...

Re: NSA breaks UBlock Origin

Ok, so this is entirely due to uB0 and I have both confirmed it on my end and also there are issues on uB0's tracker that show the developer is not accepting responsibility for it and is deferring all issues to Mozilla. uBO is a WebExtensions, and as such it only calls browserAction.setTitle.

Re: NSA breaks UBlock Origin

uBO 1.14.8 is a WebExtensions (since 1.14.0).
NSA 3.5a15 is a legacy extension.

Maybe NSA is blocking stuff from `moz-extension://`?
