#uBlockOriginLite
2 posts2 participants0 posts today
uBlock Origin is now available for Safaro 18.6 and Safari 26 Beta
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ublock-origin-lite/id6745342698
App StoreuBlock Origin LiteuBO Lite (uBOL) is a reliable and efficient content blocker.
The default ruleset corresponds to uBlock Origin's default filterset:
- uBlock Origin's built-in filter lists
- EasyList
- EasyPrivacy
- Peter Lowe’s Ad and tracking server list
You can enable more rulesets by visiting the options page…
So in chromium 135 I'm finally seeing V2 (and by extension ublock origin) disabled.
I switched to ublock origin lite, and after a few days of usage I haven't actually noticed a difference, other than needing to manually configure aggressive filtering and also the missing ability to disable javascript for the site.
Anything in particular that works much worse in ublock origin lite compared to ublock origin?

@merleleperle.bsky.social Bis Juni wird der Workaround noch funktionieren, danach voraussichtlich nicht mehr. Der Hintergrund dazu ist, dass die Erweiterung auf der Extensions Platform „Manifest V2“ basiert, die in künftigen Chrome-Versionen nicht mehr enthalten sein wird:
https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/develop/migrate/what-is-mv3
Alternativen ab Juni sind entweder #uBlockOriginLite (vom selben Developer, aber mit weniger Funktionsumfang) oder der Wechsel auf einen anderen Browser:

#uBlockOrigin dead for many as #Google purges #ManifestV2 extensions
#Chrome #adblocker stopped working? Time to look elsewhere
#uBlock recommends a move to #Firefox and use of the extension uBlock Origin, a switch to a browser that will support Manifest v2, or downloading a different extension – #uBlockOriginLite, for example.

Do you still trust an #ad company to block ads or not datamine you?
The Register · uBlock Origin dead for many as Google purges Manifest v2 extensions
#Google #Chrome disables #uBlock Origin for some in #ManifestV3 rollout
For those unaware, Manifest V3 is Chrome's latest extension specification and is designed to limit extension access to user network requests, block developers from utilizing remote content, and improve overall performance.
If you're affected by Google's #ManifestV2 deprecation, you can switch to Manifest V3-supported extensions, such as the #uBlockOriginLite, which #uBlockOrigin developer has created.

:EA DATA. SF: uBlock Origin is dead for Chrome, but ad blockers live on | PCWorld
You can read more about each of these extensions in PCWorld’s rundown of alternative ad-blockers, but there’s also a fifth option: switching to Firefox. It’s the one major browser not based on Chromium, the open-source code powering Chrome and browsers like Opera, Brave, and Vivaldi, etc. Accordingly, the full-fat version of uBlock Origin is still available. In fact, it’s the only version, because Mozilla’s missteps caused the death of uBlock Origin Lite. (Sigh.)
Hey y'all.
It's time.
PCWorlduBlock Origin is dead for Chrome, but ad blockers live onChanges to Chrome nukes one of the best ad-blockers—but its replacement is still alive and kicking butt, as are other excellent alternatives.
#uBlockOriginLite maker ends #Firefox store support, slams #Mozilla for hostile reviews
#FirefoxExtension for uBlock Origin Lite content blocker is no longer available. "Raymond Hill, the maker of the extension, pulled support and moved uBlock Origin Lite to self-hosting after multiple encounters with a 'nonsensical and hostile' review process from the store review team."
It is worth noting that the original #uBlockOrigin for Firefox is still available and supported.

Automated system of Mozilla mistakenly found violation in uBlock Origin Lite extension, removed it from extension store, later Mozilla realizes its mistake, undoes ban, but the extension developer Raymond "gorhill" Hill decides to take it down, and only provide the install file separately:
https://www.ghacks.net/2024/10/01/mozillas-massive-lapse-in-judgement-causes-clash-with-ublock-origin-developer/
(It doesn't affect the original uBlock Origin, luckily Mozilla doesn't plan to drop Manifest v2 support yet, so the original uBlock Origin will still be usable. Hopefully gorhill changes his mind until then (the ploblem with sideloading the Lite extension is that it can't be updated without reinstalling it.))

uBlock Origin Lite aus dem Firefox-Store entfernt

Tarnkappe.info · uBlock Origin Lite aus dem Firefox-Store entferntAufgrund eines Konflikts mit Mozilla hat der Entwickler von uBlock Origin Lite das Add-on aus dem Firefox Marketplace entfernt.
Breaking, from Kia: gorhill will not maintain a Firefox versions of uBlock Origin Lite.
This comes after Mozilla erroneously flagged uBlock Origin Lite, leading gorhill to remove the extension from the Mozilla Addons Store:
https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBOL-home/issues/197#issuecomment-2377395301
GitHubuBOL version updates missing in Firefox add-ons store · Issue #197 · uBlockOrigin/uBOL-home
According to a member of the uBlock Origin team, and a Mozilla employee (different people):
gorhill has voluntarily taken down uBlock Origin Lite from the Mozilla Addons store and did not request Mozilla re-review the extension.
gorhill has announced the extension will only be available to be downloaded from GitHub.
This comes after Mozilla erroneously flagged an update to uBlock Origin Lite as violating their data collection polices. Mozilla did not remove the extension, and just blocked new updates.
A Mozilla employee raised the issue internally, but it seems gorhill is unwilling to appeal, stating
I don't have the time or motivation to spend time on this nonsense, so I will let AMO do whatever they want with uBOL.
This is a developing story, and new or corrected information may come out.
