uBlock Lite is already in testing. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublock-origin-lite... EDIT: Discussion from 6 months ago https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32911640
I wished it had been named "uBlock Neutered" or something that more strongly highlighted the relationship to uBlock Origin.

Or uBlock Chrome Edition. When it doesn't work as good as uBO on FF, let it be known whose fault it is.

uMatrix is redundant with uBO Dynamic filtering:

By default we defuse such anti-blocker. If it happens, it's just a matter of reporting it to filter list maintainers. The more people report issues, the better the default filter lists get. Also, a common cause of such anti-blocker walls is the use of other content blockers beside uBO, as this often breaks uBO's own anti-blocker mechanisms -- we often resolve such issues by asking people to disable other content bloc…
My solution is to leave the site :) and then add the domain to an add-on I made for myself that hides any links to it, on any page, any where. I was hoping uBO would eventually get a dedicated feature like that, I don't think it's possible with filters. I tried pretty hard. I think knowing anyone could decide to completely erase a domain from their entire internet experience, down to the link level, would motivate si…
I would totally use that add-on if you were interested in maintaining it as a publically available add-on.
Does it just strip out the tag?

Chrome will still be faster even if ublock doesn't block as much as FF does. In fact the new declarative filters will most likely be faster than the current ones.

#78I somewhat wished that when Chrome switches to manifest v3, uBlock Origin would stop supporting Chrome and its clones. Firefox is the only browser where uBlock Origin is actually working as intended, Chrome on the other hand (even in manifest v2) is blocking so many features that uBO isn't actually able to work as a privacy and anti-malware tool. CNAME uncloaking is essential because websites can counter any filter r…

It rolled out a year ago.

>Chrome because Chrome doesn't allow extensions to use wasm.
Chrome doesn't allow loading remote web assembly in mv3 extentions. You can't run remote javascript either. It's fine if you bundle the wasm with your extension.

#79I can not even thank the existence of this project enough! the simple improvement in internet speed is well worth it, even though i do too have a pihole running. Sometimes when i visits friends i barely recognize sites that i use frequently.
I just run AdGuard Home network wide and have never seen a huge need to run a browser blocker as well. What are you getting out of using both?
I block all sorts of stuff thats not even ads. Stuff like "suggested for you" sidebars on websites I frequent I will just right click and block. All sorts of stuff. If I don't use it, no need to load it next time, so out it goes.

I bit the bullet and subscribe to Bloomberg, WSJ and NY Times which is a good mix of center, moderate-right and left and this is far improved my experience. it makes me sad that people arent/cant get these articles and have this other rage-bait experience, but I’m glad I opted out of that crap
anyone visiting HN should be able to install Bypass paywalls chrome clean and uBlock origin
none of which work for the default mobile browser, or those service's associated mobile apps
and there's an experience beyond archive.is
moving on
