Eliminarea uBlock Origin Lite din Firefox Store: O Dispută Deschisă între Raymond Hill și Mozilla

Extensiile Adblock, esențiale pentru blocarea reclamelor și protejarea intimității online, sunt apreciate de utilizatorii de web browsere. Însă, eliminarea uBlock Origin Lite din catalogul Firefox a generat întrebări și controverse în comunitatea tech. Raymond Hill, dezvoltatorul uBlock Origin Lite, s-a aflat într-un conflict cu Mozilla încă din septembrie, pe măsură ce fiecare actualizare a…

can you believe some people are out here using the internet without a single ad blocker??? I had to convert like 4 people just this past week. let me introduce you to the wonders of YouTube without a single commercial!!!

[yanderemeganekko]

anyone know any good alternatives to ublock on chrome? They finally pulled the plug on the whole extension

other than switching to firefox bc I still hate the UI on it and there are no fixes :/

at this rate I might have to though if there are no other decent adblocks chrome hasn't killed

[nixcraft]

Google finally did it. Is it time to switch to Firefox? I believe users should be in control of what they can install and use on their desktop or laptop. There's uBlock Origin Lite, which replaces the original uBlock Origin for Chrome and similar browsers. Give it a try.

Youtube has once again returned to the battle of "preventing me from using an adblocker". Youtube has once again failed the battle, for i have gotten a 3rd adblocker!

being proud that your adblock is poorly targeted and hides non-ad elements on websites you visit, thus not letting you trust that the content you see is functioning correctly: mystifying

IF YOU STILL USE GOOGLE CHROME: before ublock origin updates to manifest v3, you can still use ublock origin lite! it's a lightweight and permissionless version of the original, made by the same author!

Google Chrome は現在、最新バージョンに更新した uBlock Origin ユーザーに対し、Manifest v2 拡張機能が無効になる前に他の広告ブロッカーに切り替えることを推奨しています。 uBlock Origin の主任開発者兼メンテナーである Raymond Hill が金曜日に説明したように、これは Google が Manifest v3 (MV3) を支持して Manifest v2 (MV2) 拡張機能プラットフォームのサポートを廃止した結果です。 「uBO はマニフェスト v2 拡張機能であるため、Google Chrome ブラウザに警告が表示されます。uBO にはマニフェスト v3 バージョンがないため、ブラウザは uBO の代わりに代替拡張機能を提案します」とヒル氏は 説明しました 。 「 uBO Lite (uBOL) は、 uBO が最初に公開されて以来そうであったように、信頼性と効率性を重視して、uBO で使用されるフィルター リストをマニフェスト v3 準拠のアプローチに変換することに最善の努力を払った uBO の簡素化されたバージョンです。 2014年6月に。」 Google Chrome ユーザーには、uBlock Origin 広告ブロッカーを削除するか、同様の拡張機能に置き換えるよう警告されています。 に送信され 「代替手段を探す」リンクからもこの Chrome ウェブストア ページ 、uBO Lite、Adblock Plus、Stands AdBlocker、または Ghostery に切り替えるようアドバイスされます。

Google ChromeがuBlock Originが間もなく無効になる可能性があると警告

Trillions of domestic phone records in the United States are tracked every year under a secretive surveillance operation, WIRED revealed this week. The Data Analytical Services program, which was previously known as Hemisphere, allows cops to request and analyze the phone records of people and others who they communicate with, including those not suspected of crimes. The surveillance system is run by the White House, with telecom firm AT&T providing phone records in response to law enforcement requests.

The crypto world kept tumbling this week. After Sam Bankman-Fried was found guilty at the start of this month, it was the turn of crypto exchange Binance and its CEO Changpeng Zhao to face scrutiny from US officials. The US Department of Justice unsealed an indictment against the company, which accuses it of violating US anti-money-laundering laws and of enabling Iran, Cuba, and Russia to launder dirty money.

If you’re in the US and have some extra time over the long holiday weekend, it’s also worth catching up on Andy Greenberg’s epic tale of the three young hackers twho brought down the internet with the Mirai botnet—and their story of redemption. Then it’s definitely time to log off.

That’s not all. Each week, we round up the security and privacy stories we didn’t report on in depth ourselves. Click the headlines to read the full stories, and stay safe out there.

Google Ups Its Ad Blocker Crackdown

Google makes most of its money from advertising—and it doesn’t like ad blockers, which prevent millions of ads being shown on websites every day. In recent months, the company has been cracking down on ad blockers on YouTube in a big way. But that’s just the start of it.

This week YouTube confirmed it has, in some instances, introduced a five-second delay before videos load if people are using an ad blocker in their browser. “In the past week, users using ad blockers may have experienced suboptimal viewing, which included delays in loading, regardless of the browser they are using,” a YouTube spokesperson told The Verge. The company admitted the delays had been happening after some people on Reddit and Hacker News spotted slow loading times and initially thought it was because of the browser they were using.

The move follows Google announcing last week that it is going ahead with plans to change how Chrome browser extensions operate, which may limit how some popular ad blockers work. Last year the company paused its plans to roll out Manifest V3, the platform that browser extensions work on, after complaints about how it would impact some extensions. As Ars Technica reported, Google is planning on rolling out a revised version of Manifest V3 in June next year. Google says Manifest V3 is designed to make Chrome run smoothly by reducing the resources that extensions can use and improve security. However ad blockers and privacy experts have criticized how the system works and, in particular, changes to the Declarative Net Request API.

Google proposed putting restrictions on this API but has relaxed these somewhat in the new version of Manifest V3. It originally planned to allow browser extensions to make 5,000 content-filtering “rules,” but it has now increased this to 30,000 rules. AdGuard, an ad blocker, has tentatively welcomed some of the revised changes. Elsewhere, uBlock Origin, which uses around 300,000 filtering rules, has created a “lite” version of its extension in response to Manifest V3. The developer behind uBlock Origin says the lite version is not as “capable” as the full version. Meanwhile, browser makers Brave and Firefox say they are introducing work-arounds to stop ad blockers from being impacted by the changes.

North Korea Is Increasingly Launching Supply Chain Attacks

Supply chain attacks, where malware is implanted in a company's legitimate software and spread to the firm's customers, can be incredibly hard to detect and can cause billions of dollars in damage if they’re successful. Hackers for North Korea are increasingly adopting the sophisticated attack method.

This week Microsoft revealed it has discovered the hermit kingdom’s hackers implanting malicious code inside an installer file for photo and video editing software CyberLink. The installer file used legitimate code from CyberLink and was hosted on the company's servers, obscuring the malicious file it contained. Once installed, Microsoft said, the malicious file would deploy a second payload. More than 100 devices have been impacted by the attack, Microsoft says, and it has attributed the attack to the North Korea-based Diamond Sleet hacking group.

After details of the attack were revealed, the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre and the Republic of Korea’s National Intelligence Service issued a warning saying that North Korea’s supply chain attacks are “growing in sophistication and volume.” The two bodies say the tactics support North Korea’s wider priorities, such as stealing money to help fund its ailing economy and nuclear programs, espionage, and stealing tech secrets.

Planes Are Being Disrupted by GPS Spoofing and Electronic Warfare

Some flights have had to change course or lost satellite signals in midair due to electronic warfare, The New York Times reported this week. The ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza have seen GPS jamming and spoofing technologies interfere with the daily operation of flights in and around the areas. The incidents, so far, have not been dangerous. But they highlight the increase in electronic warfare capabilities—which seek to interrupt or disrupt the technologies used for communications and infrastructure—and how the technology needed to launch them is getting cheaper. Since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, electronic warfare tactics have become increasingly common on both sides, as drones being used for surveillance and reconnaissance have had their signals interrupted and rockets have been sent off course.

Russian USB Worm Spreads Beyond Ukraine’s Borders

Gamaredon is one of Russia’s most brazen hacking groups—the hackers have consistently attacked Ukrainian systems. Now one piece of its malware, a worm that spreads via USB stick and is dubbed LitterDrifter, has spread internationally. The worm has been spotted in the US, Hong Kong, Germany, Poland, and Vietnam, according to researchers at security firm Check Point. The company’s researchers say the worm includes two elements: a spreading module and a second module that also communicates with Gamaredon’s servers. “It’s clear that LitterDrifter was designed to support a large-scale collection operation,” the Check Point researchers write, adding that it’s likely the worm has “spread beyond its intended targets.”

im not only an ad hating commie but im also a prophet of forbidden knowledge

here's a pastebin i made for ublock origin that blocks youtube ads and google AI overview*

copy paste this shit into ublock origin's filters (or ublock origin lite's filters if you still use chrome... btw stop using chrome -_-)

it not only blocks google's AI overview bullshit (*for the most part. there are some hiccups for IPs based in other countries blah blah im not getting into a rant to explain it) but it also blocks youtube's ads

that said, if you dont know how to do any of this shit, i'll explain under the cut so it doesnt become some huge long thing:

get ublock origin (or ublock origin lite if you're using chrome. stop using chrome just use firefox i swear to god it's not only faster but it supports a hell of a lot more shit than chrome does now because google is a corporate shill company)

click the gears icon. that's your settings, as with any other thing that uses gear icons...

go to "my filters" and then copy paste the pastebin into the giant black box. make sure you also select "enable my custom filters". hit apply changes. done ez pz

oh. slightly off topic. but btw if you want to block all those AI image websites from google images, use ublacklist** (chrome || firefox) and input the shit from this public github repository into it and wow! suddenly all those AI image shits have disappeared! (**alternatively, you can also use ublock origin for the github as well, but i personally prefer ublacklist)

now before anyone cries bc this happens all the time: these are just filters so dont be like waaaah im scared that it's a virus waaah. this aint a program. none of this is even coding per-se. it's just filters. it's the exact same as using x-kit to blacklist posts that have certain words or phrases here on tumblr, though the filters in this case target pop ups and redirect URLs that advertisements embedded into videos like to use

also keep in mind that google may change some of this shit so at some point, it might stop working altogether. when that happens, i will continue to wage my personal war against the corporate suits that run this shit. i will continue to impart my forbidden knowledge.

id also like to state that im fully aware ive already made a reblog like this in the past on this post. alas i am not exactly keeping track of each and every thing i respond to, and i've put enough effort into this reblog for me to not just silently delete it. fuck it, i say.

I just got described as an "ad hating commie" by someone because I said a minute of youtube ads is unpleasant. fully spent 5 minutes arguing and defending youtube ads. insane stuff

#yes i reblogged this twice to let the op of the list know

@endersketch brother lmao there are TONS of ways to get ublock back onto chrome. as i already said: there are ALWAYS ways around stuff. it's just a matter of simply looking into it. for example:

stop using chrome lmao. switch to firefox instead. everything works over there and it's a hell of a lot faster of a browser. you can easily import everything too. given chrome's absolute bullshit, idk why people are still refusing to just. swap over as if it isn't an option. yes im aware that this goes against getting it back onto chrome but i have zero idea why people think chrome is the only option they have.

you can still use ublock origin if you had it previously installed. just select the "keep" option from the extensions menu.

ublock origin lite works and is still on the chrome store. the filters work the exact same, just enable them. input the same stuff and it's fine lol.

you can still install it onto chrome if you're into source coding and github stuff. im not into github stuff, the layout of that site irks me, so i cant help with that. but still. it's there.

stop using chrome lmao...

the majority of this information could be found with a quick search online, which was kind of a major point of my own addition to the post. hence why i said it's important to look these things up yourself.

none of this is informing me or is news to me so... trying to get my attention about this lots is kinda completely pointless. i mean this respectfully, but still.

i implore people to search for alternatives themselves, i implore people to not be afraid to just look things up with a search engine to get immediate answers and solutions.

wikipedia no longer being anywhere near the top of search results when looking up anything feels eviscerating

[kalpalatas]

installed ublock origin lite on chrome and it completely stopped working lol
