Wasn’t it though? Just click the “I’m an advanced user” button in the uBlock Origin options. Then you get the per-domain block details in the uBlock Origin extension button just like uMatrix.

Per domain, but not per feature. Matrix let you specify whether to block images, cookies, script, etc for each domain from the UI.

How often does one want to individually allow specific 3rd-party cookies+images? uBlock already allows control over specific 3rd party scripts.

This is great, but the existing subscription lists leave a ton to desired, still. Porn for instance has huge amounts of SEO spam and yet there doesn't seem to be a list for that, which is surprising considering porn and its consumers are usually the first to adopt new tech.

Except that there are no other interpretations of the words "christian" and "muslim", where it's quite clear you're referring to specific religions. Black and white are colors. _You_ are making the leap from color to ethnicity. At the end you claim you "have no problem with that", and yet you're all over this discussion proclaiming the same weak argument. Seems like you have quite a problem with it.

I need to get around to signing up. I started a couple weeks back, but stalled about some question re: what search means to you, or something like that, went off for a while to think about it, and never went back. Guess I need to just write "finding stuff" or something trite and get on with it. (don't ask me open-ended questions as part of a signup process unless you want me to brain-lock and never finish the form :-…

You probably had to answer questions during their closed beta, so they could look for and invite specific user types as they ramped up. As of last week, IIRC, they're now in open beta. That could explain why their sign up flow changed.

Makes sense. I wasn't mad about it or anything, just noticed that it had that effect on me, and was like, "huh, weird". The three or four times I'd thought about going back, remembering that was there had stopped me, too ("eh, I don't want to get started and just end up abandoning it again, waste of time") until checking again after reading this thread.

Been using this method to build on my blocklist for a few years, it's quite long by now ;)

Any chance of sharing it?

There's too much personal stuff on there for me to be comfortable sharing it as is, and I'm afraid I don't have time to distil the list this weekend either.

I'd be happy to create you some ready-made filters for any specific sites or other types of results that you'd like to get rid of though, just let me know!

The real inclusivity is being able to use the word “black” without seeing a connection with race in it.

I try to be sympathetic to the "color blind is still racist" thing, since I'm white so maybe my perspective's not that useful. But I definitely feel a lot more racist and way more race-aware, to no productive purpose and in contexts where it can't possibly matter, than I did 20 years ago, as a result of this stuff. My kids are way more race-aware than I was at their ages, as a result, too. I sure hope whatever good i…

Being "color blind" is not being racist. It's the opposite.

Be good to good people--that's what matters.

So since chess players aren't a very progressive group, none should strive to be progressive?

I'm using uBlacklist plus these two blacklists that block out spam sites that clone pages from Stack Overflow and Github. https://github.com/arosh/ublacklist-stackoverflow-translatio... https://github.com/arosh/ublacklist-github-translation

Shameless plug for the blacklist I maintain: https://github.com/franga2000/aliexpress-fake-sites

Anyone who has tried to buy something obscure locally will probably find this useful. There are hundreds of fake webstores that pretend to be in different countries (using national TLDs and machine translation), then just redirect you to AliExpress. I have a script that can recognise them and add them to this blocklist.
