RFP won't touch this as it's an accessibility feature |
|
At quick glance, there are only about two things I want to check. I will get to it in the next few days. There's nothing major here that is urgent or a need to push v101 as fast as possible - the lifetime cookie pref deprecation and migration code has been pushed back to 103, so looks like we can wait until 102 (which is also ESR) to make changes there (not looking forward to it, the UI is a mess) |
|
I just checked this blog post it mentions this as an option in firefox v102. But I was able to enable it in my stable version of firefox (v101.0.1) don't know if you can add it for the next update to the user.js? |
no, it's not important Readers should already be using uBO and added filters .. as per the WIKI, and for years prior to Also, it requires flipping a pref that is controlled by ETP Strict runtime, so I refuse to change that. It will be default true (with ETP strict) and used when 102 is released (with arkenfox's ETP strict mode) also, the filter list is tiny - don't get me wrong, that (and Brave's slightly bigger list) hit some of the most common offenders with no breakage, but the best solution is uBO's filters it is also under #1457 where I will add an expanded list pref in 102 for documentation purposes and I guess people who DON'T READ THE WIKI (although to be fair, I would prefer to just let those people go to hell) |

Didn't know ublockorigin supported such feature tbh and I still get ?utm at the end of links but I'll check the optional filters. Most wikis are out-of-date or contain incorrect information because "things change quickly" so I just ignore them. but if there is a way to subscribe to changes to the wiki I would definitely want to know! |
then why bother ever reading anything .. just wing it forever and then ask questions of everyone |
|
I don't enable any additional filter-lists because that's what is recommended by the ublockorigin developers and maintainer to minimize site breakage. Usually fliter-list are not well maintained and become out-of-date; so they cause various level breakage |
You need the Actually Legitimate URL Shortener Tool filter.

thanks! that's helpful |
they're all (filter list people as well) are not in the privacy business - they are in the content blocking business (it just so happens that a lot of shit being blocked improves privacy, i.e there is a large overlap) - there's a big difference. TBH, most blocking is immaterial to privacy ever since FPI started - but there are other benefits, such as reduced attack surface, perf, visual BS removed etc Be smart, be like pants .. READ THE WIKI |

still trying to work out what snapshots are Also see MR2-426 - I don't have a login and I doubt I could (probably limited access?) According to the few tickets, it's to do with I'm just very edit: ATTACK of the homonym!!! I am weary as well, though, in my defence |
|
I guess it's this:
|
|
hmm, I have nothing in there in my Nightly (history is enabled, but I sanitize on close) |
|
For me: These snapshots only contain bookmarks AFAICTY and are strored in |
Actually it's because uBO is used by both privacy focused and non-privacy focused people, so maintainers have to balance between privacy and breakages, and as maintainers cannot know if users/reporters are normal users or whom that understand about why there are breakages, they can only recommend default settings. If you don't mind breakages and you are willing to learn about fixing breakages, you can totally enhance privacy by setting up further than default settings. |
