    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.

    BTW, you can't find them there. These list were added in my mod uBlock Origin Legacy by myself. Anyway! Using uBlock Origin and a sufficient number of good filter lists means no ads in YouTube videos.
  3. AstroSkipper
    What didn't work? You should enable all built-in filter lists and some more. And import both YouTube lists!

    I checked my release on Android. Here they are: uBlock filters – Quick fixes: https://ublockorigin.github.io/uAssets/filters/quick-fixes.txt GoodbyeAds-YouTube-AdBlock-Filter: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jerryn70/GoodbyeAds/master/Formats/GoodbyeAds-YouTube-AdBlock-Filter.txt

    I am not at my desktop computer at the moment but surfing with my Android tablet. On FilterLists you will find all you need.

    That's right. But this thread is actually about @roytam1's browser releases. :OT You have to import these filter lists in your uBO version. You can find them all on https://filterlists.com/. :END OF OT

    That's unfortunately not enough. What about all default uBlock filters? For blocking YouTube ads, you can enable uBlock filters – Quick fixes and GoodbyeAds-YouTube-AdBlock-Filter. In my thread, you will find my latest release containing all these filter lists and more. And in my article, you will find corresponding images of the tab Filter lists. In any case, I don't get ads in YouTube videos when using my mod uBlock Origin Legacy.

    I know that, of course. It wasn't directed at you either, but at those who are annoyed by websites that don't load properly in @roytam1's browsers. In the end, many of them can be loaded quite well if you do it right.

    New Moon 28 is the browser I mainly use from @roytam1's releases. Many websites can be loaded without serious problems. But of course, there are bloated and cumbersome sites which are loading terribly. However, some of them can be edited with the help of uBlock Origin so that they run reasonably well again. For example, you can neuter the GMX homepage and completely remove all the news, adverts, videos and so on. Or use the right filter lists to access news pages like The New York Times again. On PCWelt, around 1000 elements are blocked with my activated filter lists and runs super smoothly again. However, without uBO, it would make no sense to access such websites on older machines.

    The problem with the ublock0.sqlite file is the loading of big filter lists. If you then disable these lists at a certain time, they are not actually removed from the ublock0.sqlite file. As a result, this file continues to expand, even though the filter lists responsible for that have not been used any longer.
  11. AstroSkipper
    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.

    And now a tip for maintaining your uBlock Origin installation. If you enable and disable or add and delete filter lists more frequently, especially the big ones, your ublock0.sqlite file in your profile subfolder extension-data will become bloated. From time to time, I therefore recommend to backup all your settings. close your browser, delete the ublock0.sqlite file, restart the browser and restore your settings from your backup file. And there is a reason for my recommendation. Although only recently installed, this file ublock0.sqlite has swollen to 60 MB in my installation of uBO. After my maintenance, it shrunk to 30 MB with the same settings. 50% less! And the smaller this file, the better. Less RAM consumption, better performance. But one thing is of course clear. Sooner or later, this file will become bloated again. That's why I said that this file should be maintained from time to time, especially to get rid of outdated content. Cheers, AstroSkipper

    Subject: uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.35 Homepage/support link of the BPCF filter list changed via auto-update. The former GitLab link has of course become obsolete, too. Forgot to change it! Offline change in next version. And don't forget getting and applying the update immediately can be triggered by the function "Purge all caches" and "Update now"! Then reload the dashboard page! Greetings, AstroSkipper

    I already created a page on Codeberg but not on GitHub, although I have an account there, too. From this Codeberg page, all users of my mod uBlock Origin Legacy get the updated assets.json file automatically and only in the previous version additionally an important filter list but nothing else. TBH, I am an individualist and generally do things the way I want to do them. Sorry for that!

    Unfortunately, I can't say anything about DuckDuckGo. I do not use it, not even in Mypal 68. But just for testing purpose, I will try to load pictures from this search engine next time.
  16. AstroSkipper
    Image saving problems were already reported in Mypal 68's issues: https://github.com/Feodor2/Mypal68/issues/273 Personally, I never tried to save images using Mypal 68.13.9b but I will try to do so when I'm back at my desktop computer. I was just saving some JPEG images from Google. No problems here. Anyway! You should provide some links where saving of images doesn't work for you. Then, we can see whether there is a problem or not.
  17. AstroSkipper
    More clones have been announced. So, we will see what happens. If so, I will add alternative download links to ensure that the list can be updated in any case.
  18. AstroSkipper
    A round of cheering! Thank you! These noop things have been driving me crazy.
  19. AstroSkipper
    If I have understood you correctly now, then the logger of uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.3x does not show these noop things because in the these versions (before 1.16.6b1) the function "redirect-rule=" is not implemented and therefore can't be logged but only "redirect=". Right?

    Update notification! - uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.35 - Special mod by @AstroSkipper I have again updated my special mod uBlock Origin Legacy from version 1.16.4.34 to version 1.16.4.35. As already described, you can install this version over an existing installation of uBlock Origin Legacy (1.16.4.34 and higher). The immediate loading of the updated, internal list of all preselected filter lists (assets.json) can be triggered by the function "Purge all caches" and "Update now". Then reload the dashboard page! I changed the link of an important filter list to get the most recent version. More details can be found in the changelog. in my main article, and of course the download link. Cheers, AstroSkipper
  21. AstroSkipper
    Thanks for the hint! New list found! I will release an update of uBlock Origin Legacy as soon as possible.

    But now it's over. Stop this kind of multiple attacks! You seem to enjoy twisting the words and statements of others as it also can be read from you in other threads, though. There is no rule that I have laid down. Stop spreading such untruths! I am very polite by nature, but I can be different if required. So, first read, then think and maybe then write something would be more advisable!
  24. AstroSkipper
    I am constantly helping others here on MSFN, but on topic. Just have a look at my multiple threads if you feel like! So, the imperative you used is inappropriate and irrelevant.
  25. AstroSkipper
    No. My comment and the measures I tried to motivate can be performed in Mypal 68 if desired. And if an answer has only been given for a specific country, it should be labelled as such from the outset. But unlike you, I don't constantly talk about things that can't be realised in Mypal 68 anyway.
