  • What?

    uBO absolutely helps against tracking. It is at least half of its reason for existing.

    The two primary lists are an (1) an ad block list (2) an anti-tracking list.

    And used in medium or hard mode uBO categorically blocks many methods of tracking.

    But also, if you use Firefox, this is layered on top of Enhanced tracking protection, blocking of 3p tracking cookies, and total cookie protection (dfpi)


  • I got stoned enough to forget my age a few months ago… not like for a moment… I consciously focused on it for 15 minutes, couldn’t figure it out, kept pondering the rest of the night and couldn’t remember until the next morning…

    I am old enough to occasionally forget my age, not to literally not be able to recall it… so I can empathize if bro is just waaay too stoned to comprehend the concept of a bra haha

    Google is in the process of undermining the effectiveness of uBlock Origin and other adblockers on Chrome and other Chromium browsers. I believe that change comes into effect this year.

    But even before those changes were announced, uBlock Origin’s creator and main dev has stated that uBO is most capable on Firefox.





  • There are only *two must have extensions in Firefox:

    1. uBlock Origin
    2. Your password manager’s browser extension

    Beyond that it’s all optional. Most things I used to use extensions to accomplish are now possible to accomplish using Firefox’s built in settings or using uBlock Origin.

    There are a few other extensions I use that I consider useful but optional:

    1. Dark Reader
    2. Facebook Container
    3. Libredirect
