An exploratory fly-by of Pi-Hole 6
—@theregister
｢ Pi-hole takes over as your network's name server, and silently redirects all web requests to known ad-server addresses to a DNS sinkhole. Everything else is passed upstream to the public DNS server of your choice. Only requests for ads silently fail, and the rest of the page loads as normal. The result is you see fewer ads ｣

Je cherche à bloquer le "explore" de Mastodon parce que j’ai tendance à aller y voir des trucs que je n’ai pas envie de voir.
Vous avez une idée de règle #ublock pour bloquer juste cette partie de mastodon ? (sur mon instance).

uBlock Origin & Co.: Google setzt Chrome-Erweiterungen außer Betrieb
„Google hat damit begonnen, Chrome-Erweiterungen zu deaktivieren, die von ihren Entwicklern noch nicht auf das neue Manifest V3 aktualisiert wurden.“
Und #firefox verändert sich auch 
ifun.de · uBlock Origin & Co.: Google setzt Chrome-Erweiterungen außer BetriebGoogle hat damit begonnen, Chrome-Erweiterungen zu deaktivieren, die von ihren Entwicklern noch nicht auf das neue Manifest V3 aktualisiert wurden. Der Suchmaschinen-Anbieter hatte sein Vorgehen bereits im vergangenen Jahr angekündigt und argumentiert, dass die Umstellung vor allem der Verbesserung der Sicherheit dienen solle. Die neue Version der Plugin-Architektur beschränkt jedoch gleichzeitig Funktionen, die unter anderem […]
pi-hole.netPi-hole – Network-wide Ad Blocking
@linux_pl Ktoś z was bawił się hBlockiem*? Jak to się sprawdza w porównaniu z uBlockiem (poza tym, że działa system-wide, a nie tylko w jednej przeglądarce)?
* „hBlock is a POSIX-compliant shell script that gets a list of domains that serve ads, tracking scripts and malware from multiple sources and creates a hosts file, among other formats, that prevents your system from connecting to them.”

Why Do You Prefer LibreWolf Over #Brave?
The community often debates privacy-focused browsers. LibreWolf removes telemetry and trackers, while Brave offers built-in ad blocking and crypto features. Some say LibreWolf is more transparent and respects privacy better. Others prefer Brave for convenience. What’s your take? Why do you choose LibreWolf over Brave?
Continued thread
On Linux I've tried/used the following browsers to replace Firefox:
- Zen (Firefox)
- Floorp (Firefox)
- Librewolf (Firefox)
- Vivaldi (chromium)
For the last several months I've been using Floorp and am happy with it. I use Librewolf for accessing Meta.
On Android I've used Firefox for day to day and Waterfox for accessing Meta.
IANAL: my concern is how much of the new Mozilla TOS is directly applicable to Firefox forks.
The new TOS reads like Mozilla is legally allowed to 'tee' anything you upload to their own information horde, including anything binary.
Also, something I've noticed is that sometimes when Mozilla upstream makes TOS/marketing/affiliate changes via about:config changes those changes get pushed downstream and if the downstream team misses it in the rush to get the new version out the door you may end up with these settings re-enabled.
I tried Vivaldi yesterday. Ad blocking isn't sufficient to use it as a daily driver browser. Unusable for me.
Eyes to the future for open source browser engines.
Mozilla Firefox is officially dead.
My back is officially turned.
What options remain?
For now I'm probably going to be using Gnome Web (i.e. Epiphany) for most straightforward web browsing. It works more than well enough for the stuff I do. Mobile version for Android? Does it exist? iOS?
I'll use Vivaldi for lame "modern" sites that a "simple" browser like Epiphany can't render properly. Mobile?
We'll see how far that goes. This may be less and less of an issue. The big player sites like Google, Meta, etc. are not somewhere I tend to visit.
Banking sites are a mixed bag of necessity.
I'm about to let my Amazon Prime account lapse on its yearly renewal since I won't use them any more.
At least Vivaldi seems to be a decent organization. Technology is based on Chromium though - and this is why I haven't started using it.
I will need to investigate Vivaldi's built-in adblocking since manifest v2 isn't a thing under Chromium.
I used to care about keeping the Mozilla rendering engine alive and relevant but now not so much.
The Firefox forks I've tried have been a mixed bag of whether their new versions follow re-enabling the privacy invasive things that Mozilla upstream does when it sends out a new version.
Time to leave them behind as well I guess.
A lot will depend on how much I miss ublock origin.
If there is a mass exodus from all the Firefox based forks then ublock may cease to exist.
There's a rant in there about pi-holing all browsers but I don't have it in me ATM.

**Update:** See below in the thread for their clarification.
uBlock Origin is dead on Chrome, along with any other Manifest v2 extensions (it still runs fine on Firefox). Here are four alternative adblockers that have already been upgraded to the new Manifest v3 standard.

@FirewallDragons For the first few minutes of you talking about the Bitly story, I was thinking to myself, "I could've sworn that it already does that." Eventually I realized that no, that's Adfly I was thinking of. The story is that Bitly has degraded into Adfly.
If the actual implementation turns out to be accurate to what you read out on the show, it will be trivially easy for a browser extension to automatically and instantly skip you straight to the destination URL. The only question is whether or not uBlock Origin, specifically, will have (or add) the ability to do it.
