Sampei.Nihira Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 (edited) It is preferable not to let an extension do the work when you can do the same with the browser settings. https://armin.dev/apps/ping-spotter/ MSFN members using NM28 have ping disabled by default. Check: about:config browser.send_pings set to false (default) It is not necessary to have enabled in UBO - Setting -Privacy Disable hyperlink auditing. For the CSP report block just set: about:config security.csp.enable set to false It is not necessary to have enabled in UBO - Setting -Privacy: block CSP reports To disable Beacon API you need to: about:config beacon.enabled set to false Edited May 13, 2021 by Sampei.Nihira 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a read of the Content Security Policy (CSP) documentation, I think CSP is something we should keep enabled ; of course, I am not a security authority like yourself , so please share some extra knowledge on this...

XPerceniol Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Wishing you well with your first jab; @VistaLover, I was concerned myself, but, truthfully, I didn't have any serious side effects. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kindest regards, keep safe and healthy (Saturday I'll get my first anti-Covid19 jab ) ! I've been using this privacy-protecting setting for years without any problems. Raymond Hill also writes about this feature: Quote ...Important: disabling CSP reporting is not something which will break web pages, the purpose of CSP reporting is strictly a development tool for web sites.... https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Dashboard:-Settings#block-csp-reports P.S. I have the first dose of vaccine (Moderna) on May 29, my wife who is only 4 years younger than me, on June 16 (Pfizer). In my region, "young" people have to book online. This afternoon, for example, they are opening reservations for people born in 1968 - 1969. Tomorrow 1970 - 1971.................etc....etc....

Dave-H Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Is UBO Legacy still being supported? I can't see anything on GitHub to that effect, but it doesn't seem to have been updated since the end of January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-H Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Mine had updated automatically, but thanks for the heads up as I like to download and save the latest installation file. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VistaLover Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 (edited) On 6/13/2021 at 8:21 PM, Dave-H said: Mine had updated automatically FWIW, I never let any browser extension autoupdate here ; I periodically test manually for updated extensions and when one or more are found, I first read the relevant Release Notes (when available), then make a note of the currently installed version(s), finally make back-ups of these "previous" extension versions, in case something goes SNAFU (after the extension(s) has been manually updated) and a need presents itself to revert to the ol' good, working versions... This is a habit I picked up since my late-ish Firefox "days", when several "legacy" extensions of mine (e.g Stylish, Greasemonkey) would autoupdate to the much-crippled WebExtension iteration of theirs; the habit became a must when my favourite "legacy" extensions/Complete Themes vanished from AMO... Both in FirefoxESR 52.9.1 and Serpent 52.9.0 (the latter now pointed to AMO to look for updated extensions), it isn't uncommon I am being offered an update to an existing WE addon, only to find out, to my distress , that the update doesn't function properly/at all with a Mozilla 52 based platform... This is often because Mozilla have the ill tendency to blanket-label all WEs as being "Firefox 48 and higher" compatible, by virtue of them simply being "Web Extensions"; i.e., they don't bother to test on older browser versions (as they don't expect anyone to be on anything other than the latest "Release" and "ESR" Fx versions ) ... TL;DR: No auto-update is allowed to take place here (this stance not limited to browser extensions only, but am afraid that is definitely OT ) ...

Sampei.Nihira Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 It is of course recommended to leave the auto-update filter list active. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sampei.Nihira Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 (edited) The auto-updated filters list not only allows a better response in protection, but also allows a broken website to be repaired in the shortest possible time. In this case uBlock filters - Unbreak list is very important. I have often seen the reporting of a problem and its resolution in the shortest possible time. Manual update does not guarantee, in general, this performance. Edited June 15, 2021 by Sampei.Nihira Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotHereToPlayGames Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 We all use our computers our own way. I don't use any filter lists and only allow .js on a white-list basis - I fully EXPECT the web to be "broken" even if I did use an "unbreak" list.
