My biggest wish ever is to get a Safari version of uBlock Origin. I know how unlikely it is and to be honest Wipr does a pretty good job blocking ads, but it's something I think about often.

#102I 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…
"Instead you need a gigantic list of filter rules, one for each domain, making loading web pages slower." By not using recursive DNS, including open resolvers or other third party DNS providers, I avoid this problem. I do not need to maintain a list of domains to block,^1 I only need to maintain a list of domains for hosts that I actually want to access.

while I do some dnsmasq tweaks to raise minimum ttl on my terms, doing bulk gathering ahead of time and sinkhole anything not cached (I assume) is interesting. What's your refresh interval? source of domains you query in bulk (browser history / bookmarks?). Any place you described your process to read into?

Doesn’t recent changes that removed restrictions around what could run as a browser on iOS enable some of this now? Or is it still restricted to t he point that it’s untenable?

#105Earlier quoted context omitted.
I've offered, but she declined. She really likes sales and coupon offers, extensions for cash-back that are based on tracking, etc. Someone else said it best about their spouse on another thread: "...whenever a website doesn't work for any reason I get an earfull about my 'damn adblocker'..." https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30150762
I hooked up my pihole’s on/off switch to HomeKit. Whenever a website doesn’t work, my wife knows she can open the home app and turn off the Pi-hole and try again.
Do you have any more details on this? Sounds like a great idea for the rest of my household.

>CNAME uncloaking is essential >Chrome doesn't have an API for that. It rolled out a year ago. https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=115104... >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.
Loading remote wasm after installing should be allowed. Your extension would still need bindings in javascript for whatever the wasm is doing.

#109With the Code Viewer, uBlock may (un?)intentionally win a separate war: one where pages are acting against users who open the inspector. Source: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35235732
How is it even possible for sites to detect that dev tools are open? How do I stop them from detecting it?

Nothing has changed yet, we will see nearer to 2024.
