It's my backup solution, not my primary interface. I reworded it a bit to make that more clear.

The hero we don't deserve.

Further cementing his hero status, I checked if there was a way to donate. The homepage says:

> The uBlock Origin project still specifically refuses donations at this time, and instead advises all of its clients, users and supporters to donate to block list maintainers.

Back in the day Safari + uBlock was one hell of an efficient browser on my macbook. I miss those days.

You can still have that combination with the Orion browser

I’m on day 3 of the Orion browser - on one of my computers I indeed installed UBO, but I can’t tell if it’s necessary.

Ublock is without a doubt the most valuabe chrome extension. Most people underutilize it as a way of filtering “legitimate portions” of websites as well.

For example, I used it to filer out all recommended content from youtube, as well as comments. My youtube is merely a search bar and the video I wanted to watch, nothing more.

At this point you could|should run a proper mailsever with fetchmail. I'm running [0] specifically as a local archive solution. Now that can be accessed by Thunderbird.

Have they been able to figure out how to continue being effective with the new chrome manifest junk?

They’re pretty clear. Switch to Firefox. uBlock Origin works best on Firefox for a number of reasons: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/uBlock-Origin-works-b...

For your mobile needs, uBlock Origin also works great in Firefox for Android!
