Sampei.Nihira Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 (edited) This thread is about uBlock Origin. Please stick to the topic. Also the use of uBlock Origin in Blocking mode: hard mode assumes the use RECOMMENDED by Raymond Hill himself of some filter lists. Specifically: All of uBlock Origin's custom filter lists: checked EasyList: checked Peter Lowe's Ad server list: checked EasyPrivacy: checked Online Malicious URL Blocklist: checked It is possible to modify the lists after number 1 with custom lists.

XPerceniol Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 I read this today - it feels like that walls are closing in on us using legacy software. Going to get harder and harder to continue to stick with/by UXP in the (not so distant future) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VistaLover Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Those with an existing installation of uBO-legacy should have been updated automatically via GitHub; those (like me) who have auto-update turned-off, manually check for available updates and you should be offered new v1.16.4.30; lastly, those who want to install for the first time or experience auto/manual GitHub update "issues", the URI to the XPI file is found below: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock-for-firefox-legacy/releases/tag/firefox-legacy-1.16.4.30 This last release aims to mitigate the security vulnerability mentioned just previously in this thread by our security guru, i.e. @Sampei.Nihira 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmiranda Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Hi @Sampei.Nihira, if you were to suggest today a list of lists (including both the standard and those not in the standard list), which ones would you recommend, given your research? If it is not too much of an imposition, would you include a list of the links to import? I've been trying to follow this thread, but have gotten lost very often. Of course, if you have the time to do so, ragazzi :P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, if you have the time to do so, ragazzi :P. Forgive the delay in my response. Obviously I would recommend the lists I used to use as well,you can find them in this thread a few pages back. You might also consider the experimental list below: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gwarser/filter-lists/master/lan-block.txt 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmiranda Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 (edited) I'm not sure whether the lan-block list is working, as settings tell me 0 used of 0 rules. Any idea on how to check if it works or not? Thanks again, and my apologies for pestering you ;P Edited July 25, 2021 by dmiranda 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as you may have read I have no way to verify with UBO Legacy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmiranda Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 In legacy it has to be imported, and shows 0 of 0 rules applied. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sampei.Nihira Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 (edited) I read that some MSFN members have problems with Noscript. An interesting solution is to use UBO in Hard Mode: Quote Roughly similar to using Adblock Plus with many filter lists + NoScript with 1st-party scripts/frames automatically trusted + RequestPolicy with 1st-party resources automatically whitelisted. https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Blocking-mode:-hard-mode For MSFN members who resent the inevitable fixes for broken websites an equally interesting solution is that proposed by Kees1958 + Lenny_Fox. Enter the rules below in "My rules": * com * noop * edu * noop * eu * noop * gov * noop * inf * noop * io * noop * it * noop * net * noop * org * noop change the "it" rule with the one of your Country. There will be very few broken websites that need fixing. The increase in protection of UBO with respect to blocking lists only, and even with respect to the Medium mode, will certainly be greater.
