For those whose computers won’t let them use #ublock , please do consider blocking advertisers earlier than inside the browser. Try this hosts file, or better: set these to block on your internet router’s firewall. #adblock #privacy

Passion retirer plus de la moitié de la page avec la pipette de #uBlock sur le site du #CréditAgricole, pour avoir une UI potable avec juste le contenu utile. 😐

Recordatorio periódico por si aún no has conseguido desengancharte totalmente de las redes sociales que trafican con tus datos privados: desinstala la app móvil y recurre a su versión web con un navegador que respete a sus usuarios y admita extensiones para bloquear publicidad.

Twitter e Instagram desde #Firefox con #uBlock son mucho más llevaderas. Eso sí, no hay truco para eliminar su toxicidad o desfase con los bots.

Clean way to open #Twitter / #X to cross post links, without having to stumble upon any Tweet or without seeing the timeline:

• #uBlock Origin
• Element Picker: highlight and click the border between side menu and timeline
• Click Create
• Now when you open Twitter it will always be plain white
• You can open the Compose URL (/compose/post), cross post and begone.

Empty, no timeline in sight.

If the Timeline appears again someday, just repeat the process to pick up the new CSS classes.

A screenshot of Twitter / X showing the timeline highlighted in red and a green circle in the border between the side menus and the timeline.

J'en avais marre de devoir passer la souris ou cliquer sur un article pour connaitre le titre entier.

Sur l'interface de #mastodon par défaut, les titres des cartes de contenus sont limités à 2 lignes apparemment.
Du coup j'ai ajouté une règle #CSS dans #uBlock pour augmenter à 4 lignes.

Simple, efficace, problème réglé. Merci le html qui n'est pas une soupe de div généré par un framework dégueu :

mastodon.xyz##.status-card.expanded .status-card__title:style(-webkit-line-clamp:4 !important)

La même chose, mais une fois le fix appliqué, cela permet de lire le titre en entier

In case anyone else is fed up of seeing the "Code 55% faster with Github Copilot" message on Github, the following filter works a treat with uBlock Origin

My compulsive need to customize websites in action; StackOverflow edition ✨

(I use uBlock Origin and "User Javascript and Css" extensions)

Online-Tools zur Messung der Wirksamkeit von Ad-Blockern sind leider wenig praxistauglich und liefern in Kombination mit Browser-Add-ons oft irreführende Ergebnisse. Am besten verzichtet man auf sie und verlinkt sie auch nicht, da gerade Anfänger/Einsteiger davon irritiert werden könnten. Empfehlt stattdessen die Installation von uBlock Origin und anderen zuverlässigen Ad-Block-Lösungen. 👇

Did not know that uBlock has a "disable large media" option.

When enabled it tries to block any media larger than a specified size (until you click on said media)

Less data to load means a faster and cheaper internet 😄

#PiHole serves me really great for blocking DNS queries related to advertisement, tracking and unwanted or malicious hosts.

If I use the internet alone the block rate is about 0,1% because I only use #FOSS software, #uBlock and #PrivacyBadger.

But if someone else with a "normal" phone is using the internet, too, PiHole has to block 8,1% of all queries!

I am still responsible for most of the traffic so just image the percentage if all clients were normal non-FOSS tracking devices!

Consider: #uBlock implementation that uses the same filter lists but works as a streaming HTML parser/serializer.

Hmm... actually, @alcinnz how easy would it be to use your Haskell CSS selector implementation with a lazy larser to implement this? 🤔
