This extension has increased my quality of life more than any other piece of software, or operating system for that matter. Thank you gorhill.
>>109603974Wait till you discover PiHoles and DNS Rape.
>>109603977Sell me on pihole
>>109604006NTA but it kills ads across your entire network on such a fundamental level anti AdBlock Scripts straight up can't execute.
>>109604017i think ubo blocks it before it can be resolved
>>109604017Wouldn't it need to intercept TLS to do that?
>>109604030No, DNS does not run over TLS unless you use DoH or DoT. https://noads.libredns.gr btw
>>109604036How does it block youtube ads served from a primary youtube domain without blocking youtube entirely?
>>109603974You're a thief.
>>109604043Domain level adblocking through DNS really won't help much with that because Google shares domains all over the placeuBlock Origin is basically a passive interceptor that sees all your traffic constantly. It's like wireshark but in your web browser.
>>109604054linus is gigachud
>>109604054punish me then
>>109604017Aside from blocking ads for some random ass TVs and the adblock-unaware and such it actually causes more breakage than ublock origin.not to mention, you miss out on all the cosmetic filters that hide massive now-empty spaces ads used to be inIt also can't block certain types of ads ublock origin can. motivated sites can still force their ads through by using dynamic domains or using their own domain name for ads you can't really block on a dns levelyou'd need to run a mitm proxy to get up to ublock's functionality, but then you'd get more breakage since more sites implement certificate pinning
>>109604118Running mitmproxy on android is doable if you have root I would imagine, though a memory hog. It's written in python. Someone should put that through Claude and give us the C++ version
>>109604017PiHole is a simple DNS blocker, it's nowehere near the level of UBO. You can get the functionality of PiHole just by switching your DNS to NextDNS or something.
>>109603974i think its so crazy that there are normies still just discovering adblock in recent times. Like they've actually been dealing with ads for over 10 years and thought thats how it is for everybody else
>>109605309Those normies are the only reason that adblock can still exist. They subsidize it for the rest of us.
>>109604036>DNS does not run over TLSMine does.. I have 2 docker containers on my server, one is a cloudflared that queries dns over doh and servers it to the other container, which is a pihole. Effectively I have encrypted dns and a pihole. I've been eyeing technitium which is supposed to have both in one..
>>109605332is it that hard to write a Containerfile based on pihole's container and add dnscrypt-proxy in??? you're on /g/ for gods sake
>>109605309People used to watch the Superbowl just for the commercials.
>>109605309I never even knew how insufferable it truly was until I saw this webm years ago. How the fuck do they put up with that?
>>109605374why would I want to put both in one container? Not worth the effort imo
>>109604054>browse the web>website dumps a 50-ton truckload of raw harvest on my screen>90% is dirt, rocks, and sharp chaff>autoplay video ads scream in my face like a angry locust swarm>pop-ups cover the actual wheat grains>turn on uBlock Origin>the digital sieve activates>instantly catches all the heavy debris, trackers, and pebbles>only pure, clean wheat falls into my browser>b-but anon, you have to eat the shit tooIt's not piracy, it's called being selective. But some people don't like others being selective, and in some cases they call it racism
>>109605332Dumbass, I literally acknowledged both DoH and DoT, maybe read the post to the end. You are literally like Sheldon, not in a funny way, but in a way that makes me and probably everyone around you want to strangle you to death.
>>109605309i still see people on this board having ads in their screenshots
>>109604118>you'd need to run a mitm proxy to get up to ublock's functionality, but then you'd get more breakage since more sites implement certificate pinningadguard sells you turnkey solution, adguard dekstop for this. hardly any site is pinning its certs and cannot be mitm'ed.https://adguard.com/kb/general/https-filtering/what-is-https-filtering/

>>109605706I'm afraid the homicidal tendencies are limited to you..
>>109604054>ad blocking is the same thing as piracyBut I love piracy.
>>109604118>Aside from blocking ads for some random ass TVs and the adblock-unaware and such it actually causes more breakage than ublock origin.that's more because pihole uses a bad filter list, stevenblack, by default.for dns blocking you should go more conservative, block less but avoid any breakage ever like oisd.

>>109604054Adblock is antisemitic. Are you a Nazi?
>>109604054AdBlock and SponsorBlock
>>109604043it doesn't. DNS level adblocking is utter trash and only works if you're ok with 50% of all websites breakingit might work for you but if you live in a household with other people your mom will get mad at you if she cant open her local news site and because it tells her to disable adblock but she cant because her chud son set up a pihole in the router
>>109603974I know normies that I installed adblock for, they were like "thanks anon now everything looks so much better", three months later I see them browsing with shitton of ads and seeing nothing wrong with it after already having experienced true freedom.There is no help for the goyim.
>>109606455fake news.name the local news site that pihole breaks.
>>109606153the thing is i don't trust adguard
>>109605519>I've been eyeing technitium which is supposed to have both in one..well what the fuck will this accomplish? the exact same thing
>>109606594I've got some bad news for you concerning about half the filters and almost all the scriptlets in uBO then.
>>109606627fake news.ubo doesn't understand adgurad filter rules nor scriptlets.
>>109606627ah yes the lists of urls and elements to block is somehow gonna insert telemetry and sneakily use my internet connection for other shitI've got some bad news for you too, you're gonna have to suck a cock.
>>109604054too bad linux is a nigger and the internet is pull based not push i am free to deny all the bullshit you send me and only keep what i want
>>109604054>A time vampire calling someone who uses software a thief.Top kek.
>>109606640scriptlets that mock tracking scripts to disable them could totally do the opposite.that's why ubo only trusts its inbuild scriptlets and not random ones.
>>109606636Yes it does. That's why it's called AdGuard syntax.>>109606640AdGuard doesn't do that.
>>109606676>Yes it does. That's why it's called AdGuard syntax.ubo does not support adguard's extended syntax but has its own flavor
>>109604054Ad blocking is the reason he only has one private yet and one paddle courtIn a world free of antisemitism he's have at least 3 of each
dns level adblocking works great to get rid of ads on phone games...
>>109604006Works across the network but is limited to only blocking domains. Cannot filter ads on youtube hosted by youtube. It should be considered one part of the adblocking approach.My setup uses a pihole array forwarding to DoH forwarders to my outgoing DNS is not plain text.Then I block all outbound DNS, DoQ, DoT, and DoH that does not originate from a pihole or DoH forwarder. This forces all devices to either use my piholes or get no DNS. Filtering DoH takes the most amount of effort to block.uBO on FF on all devices except the ipad which has safari with uBO lite.The only time I see an ad now is in some anons screenshot.
>>109606676tell me when they change their minds instead of pretending by having an empty repo
>>109606710"adguard for windows" is a desktop app.we are talking about adguard's ubo equivalent which is "adguard browser extension". that's open-source:https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardBrowserExtension
>>109606730no, we were talking about this.>>109606153
>>109606710do tell what happened to the original ublock. why did gorhill sell it to scammer that made it malware? did open-source protect you?
>>109606750he made a mistake. he thought he could give it to someone else, but at the end of the day you can only trust yourself. hence, ublock origin.you can't close the source on an extension, even if you minimize and obfuscate, someone will be there to call you out.do tell me about what the adguard desktop application does though. no rush
>>109604054someone post the mixed race babies thing
>>109606704I usually switch on the airplane mode for those games
>>109604054>linus
>>109604118>more sites implement certificate pinningsites cannot implement cert pinning. your app/browser has to implement cert pinning since your app/browser needs to know the cert beforehand.looking at firefox, basically only google is pinned:https://searchfox.org/firefox-main/source/security/manager/ssl/StaticHPKPins.h#294
>>109606877that is true... for firefox.
>>109606704that's a two-edged sword>https://oisd.nl/faq#knownissues>- Mobile games; likely to not load user requested video ads for extra's / double points
>>109606903oh no!
>>109606903Did not know - not being argumentative but I've used dns66 for years now and *most* of the time if I hit the >gibsmedat if i watch a vidI get an image placeholder for a sec or 2 and then back to the game with added whatever. Occasionally it'll just say "NO!" but not often.Certainly not enough to prompt me not to use it. My only issue with dns66 is it's a battery hog. I've tried a couple of others and there's no real difference in that performance.
all adblockers are MITMs by definition stop being a concern troll
>>109606455I've never hed it break a single website, but I literally can't tell if it ever blocked a single ad either. Overall, it does no harm, I suppose.
>>109605309I was in middle school when I started using adblockers (years before ubo even existed), some people really just eat shit and don’t care. Remember that internet explorer was huge until Chrome finally killed it in the early 2010’s. The only problem here is that big tech would be clamping down much harder on Adblock if the majority of people used it. Google getting more uppity about Adblock coincides with the Chrome market share no longer rising (mostly due to Edge and Safari to be fair but give credit to alt browsers having built in blockers now).It’s possible that the future could be more like China though where big tech companies start adding blockers but they don’t target first party ads. Firefox’s iOS Adblock is like that now
>>109607782>where big tech companies start adding blockers but they don’t target first party ads.So, brave, iridium and to some extent adnauseum?
>>109608121I dunno about the other two but Brave has aggressive mode which blocks first party content. In the browsers made by Tencent and Alibaba you don’t have that option, they do it because ads and trackers are even more pervasive on Asian websites so it’s basically a requirement to block ads to use the internetFirefox on iOS is similar to this, you can’t control the filter lists like you can with ublock origin or brave shields, Mozilla is exclusively in control of the filters, it isn’t on by default either because Google will end their deal with them if someone was blocking ads on the default search engine by default.
>>109603974I only use the internet because of adblocks. Without it it's like walking around a black neighborhood screaming fuck niggers
>>109606332there's no such thing as piracy, there's only filesharing, moron
>>109606660why are you so obsessed with niggers, anon?
>>109608241you've done that, anon?
if there's no replacement when it dies I'll just leave the internet
>>109603974This gorhill fella has enough good karma he could microwave fifty babies and still reincarnate as a billionaire's son.
>>109608241>Without it it's like walking around a black neighborhood screaming fuck niggersDave Allen enjoyer?
>>109603977You're going to cum in your pants, brother.>>109604054Why do people still attempt to respond to this nonsense?>>109606594There's a lot of overlap between AdGuard and uBO developers/filter maintainers. But I understand not using their software.
>>109603977Sell me on DNS Rape.
>>109606423If u get that number to at least 75 years I’d equate it to saving a life.
>>109608461Share your files while we share your mom, landlubber!
>>109603974thank you chad gorhill>>109606153adguard filters out websites that have nothing to do with adverts and can't be trusted>>109606594nobody does! that's the best part.
>>109606627>fucking morons pretending to know thingsit's truly adorable.
>>109609751>There's a lot of overlap between AdGuard and uBO developers/filter maintainerswrong, there's no overlap at all.otherwise just name one.
>>109610380yeah, the only filter list that ublock origin "shares" with adguard is adguard's mobile filter list. adguard was the first to care about mobile and has kind of a monopoly there.however ublock origin doesn't understand adguard's extended syntax, so it needs to be converted and ublock origin also does their own upkeeping:https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/blob/master/filters/filters-mobile.txt
>>109603974If this ever stops working it will pretty much single handedly cure my internet addiction overnight.The modern web is simply unbrowseable without aggressive content filters.
>>109603974any adblock does exactly the same shitstop sucking gorhill's cock
>>109611928that's pretty useful>>109612004there will always be adblocking because people just hate advertising so much that it's become a life long mission to deprive corporations of as many clicks as possible. and most of the advertising on websites in 2026 makes the scamshit in the 1990s look mid and respectable.
>>109612019>t. has not read the wiki>t. has only started using adblockers recently
>>109612019wrong.only ublock origin does understand ublock origin's extended filter syntax. that syntax is used by ublock/easylist/fanboy filter lists for advanced filters.https://github.com/gorhill/ublock/wiki/static-filter-syntax#extended-syntaxbrave's shield even tho it's trying to implement ublock origin's extended filter syntax, fails:https://github.com/brave/adblock-rust/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aclosed%20ubo%20label%3AuBO-parity
>>109605451jesus motherfucking christ
>>109604054Using an ad blocker is neither literally, nor figuratively, nor structurally, nor in any other way equivalent to piracy. What a retard.
>>109612024>there will always be adblocking because people just hate advertising so much that it's become a life long mission to deprive corporations of as many clicks as possible. and most of the advertising on websites in 2026 makes the scamshit in the 1990s look mid and respectable.if you actually hate ads, you not only block ads but automatically click all ads and ruin the ad network's metrics. so you use adnauseam not ublock origin.https://adnauseam.io/
>>109603974You could suck his cock.Stop moaning and do something useful.
>>109608461Which is the funniest thing. If I go over to a friends house and we decide to watch a movie on their netflix account, or a dvd they own. Did I just commit piracy?
>>109608524Yup!
>>109612381Precisely
>>109612119This lets tons of ads through, despite being built on UBO I'm convinced it's a psyop
