  1. Past hour
  2. In contrast to UXP browsers such as New Moon 28, all current Chrome browsers are extremely limited and restricted. Webextensions don't have the permissions that legacy extensions have. This is one of the main reasons why I avoid Chrome browsers when I can. Nevertheless, provide a link to the YouTube video where ads are still shown despite blocking by uBO!
  3. I am using 360Chrome 13.5.1030. However, this should not be the problem, as the Windows XP certificates are being used. And ISRG Root X2 is not available here. Only ISRG Root X1. Is ISRG Root X2 present in your root certificates?
  4. Today
  5. I definitely do here! I've reverted to using "AdBlock — best ad blocker" running ONE list in conjuction with uBO running only FIVE lists. The "AdBlock — best ad blocker" apparently blocks YouTube ads differently because uBO will SHOW the ad for a split second, if not more, before skipping the ad. uBO will prevent the ad from PLAYING but it still SHOWS the ad. At least for Chromium-based.
  6. If you compare the behaviour of the legacy extension with the webextension, you should only use the same filter lists in both. And you also have to look at which filter lists you combine with each other in order to achieve an optimum result. But one thing is clear. The legacy extension lags almost 6 years behind the webextension in terms of development. This means that the latter uses a much more advanced filter engine than the legacy version. I have opened the website www.ovagames.com again by New Moon 28 with a fully configured uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.35. No problems here. No additional pop-ups or any other ads. Surfing there is easy and smooth.
  7. No problem on Chromium 108.0.5359.125 (Developer Build) (32-bit) on my Windows XP x86:
  8. In my New Moon 28 profile, I have enabled 21 filter lists plus my self-created filters under the tab "My filters". I can't notice any serious impact caused by New Moon 28 (at the moment, 318 MB RAM usage by palemoon.exe).
  9. to be honest personally i dont think it make sence to have a police issue about a open source software if it is really a company secret it has to be hidden very well, in a diamond mine this is the case for example there have to be security so noone can just put the code open source (then maybe they have the rights to follow the issue in my opinion) if it lays open source around it falls under own fault legally - in this case its their fault not putting it on a safe place, furthermore they even put it out freely in the past no one would have a such idea to release their source code , per example if microsoft would have published their entire source code then it would have been copied ... but lets not forget that lawers/and lawmakers made changes here - but they dont have me on their side and never will i dont like the new lawers and their interpretation - maybe they have written weird rules on the paper but i also still belive im allowed to mod my legit buyed copy of windows - while they will keep telling me that i dont have the right to do this if that is the new world, then sorry i just dont agree very common it was a vs fight too closed source vs open source - or company vs free software the new interpretation is going into a different direction like free software(previous also often called open source software) falls under something like a copy right linux vs windows is a such example from the past, MS having a closed source while linux had a open/free source but let´s never forget the story behind that
  10. Yes, almost always, when a site is rewrited fro the ground up today, it will make use of bulky scripts, and often appear as an "app" (maybe with a loading bar). To find something to download from a site like YouTube, I usually still need to open it to list the content. The titles don't always have unique keywords that will return the entries via Google search. I like how YouTube-DL has become smart now and can follow the Google redirect from search results. But if I want to read the text, for example, on an e-mail site like Protonmail or Discogs, then I need to browse it normally.
  11. Okay, working now. (sorry for the derail, lol) Using uBO only (instead of that extra ad blocker) enables me to prevent my lists from AUTO-UPDATING. I prefer to MANUALLY update my lists (auto-updates will "flag" IT at work).
  12. Thanks. I definitely need to experiment. I build my profile here at home and use my fully portable profile also at work. I only use YouTube at work for "background noise". Work computer will let me run my portable browser, but it somehow blocks installing extensions directly, so I install them at home and zip-and-send the whole browser.
  13. I definitely prefer NOT to. I'll keep experimenting. I was really attempting to AVOID having a GIGANTIC number of lists (ie, I was trying to keep the number lists UNDER SIX).
  14. @NotHereToPlayGames When it comes to uBO's default lists, most YouTube filtering is taken care of from uBlock filters – Ads, I'd have to check whether the ones from uBlock filters – Quick Fixes add anything important for that particular site, I keep it enabled though. Filters mainly clear up responses from their servers dealing with video content, stripping bits that insert ads, basically a bunch of JavaScript proxies intercepting fetch/XMLHttpRequest calls.

  16. Attention grabber? My friend, if you want to see what is attention grabber look at hidusbf... Yes, subject is not the last thing in my TODO list.
  17. @SweetLow Excellent work! I've been intending to write something like this, myself. I may still take a whack at it, for the educational result of the challenge. But, who knows how long it would have taken me to start? I'm spread too thin, lately. Looking forward to taking your work for a test drive. You've done some neat things. But this one is an attention grabber. Would have tried it sooner, but my main browser is terrible, on github. Seems that a lot of the things you work on, have been things I've see people discus a desire for (at the usual Win9x places).
  18. You have a metabug for reverting: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1117820
  19. I've used the roots and revoked certificates updater v1.6 shown on page 39.It was successful according to the updater. I have only used it on my user account,but does it also work and update the other user accounts on the pc or do they have to be individually updated?XP 32bit.Sorry if it's a dumb question.
  20. Still having a bare metal XP PC running, but it is not my primary web browsing platform.
  21. OH yeah, its an old wired HP Deskjet 1000 so unfortunately they actually have to log in from my computer, but trust me, I'm over their shoulder hawking them. Its usually medical stuff anyway and paperwork.
  22. Latest release published mere minutes ago; the first one (non-BETA) to officially support WinXP on both 32 & 64-bits, the same is true for Windows Vista SP2: https://github.com/Alex313031/thorium-legacy/releases/tag/M122.0.6261.168 As instructed, read all the Release Notes very carefully and then be extra meticulous on selecting and running the most suitable installation files (including Fonts) for your OS+bitness!

  24. I would never use two ad blockers at once. uBlock Origin is totally sufficient and can block most things. But it has to be configured correctly. Your five lists are not sufficient. Even the two YouTube lists can't change that. All filter lists under "Built-in" should be enabled. But uBO can do much more. You can remove annoying elements from websites and create your own filters, and so on. And BTW, one further extension consumes more resources than enabling a few filter lists in uBO.
  25. I'm going to keep my current setup. I only need *ONE* list to block YouTube ads but it is not a uBO list, it's ONE list inside "AdBlock - best ad blocker". It defeats the purpose if I need to extend my FIVE uBO lists to TWENTY-SOME lists. My five uBO + one "AdBlock - best ad blocker" seems just fine for my needs. If your list would have worked for uBO to block YouTube ads by using six or seven lists instead of five but one extension instead of two, that would have been a step in the right direction. But jumping my 5 lists up to 20-some, nope, I'll pass. But thanks again for the suggested TWO lists, but no, adding those two lists did not prevent the need for my one extra extension.
