EasyList Forum

The aim of me posting the article here is to spread awareness about the event and NOT to take article word for word which you did. So don't take everything written in that article in a literal sense. Articles tend to be clickbaity and speculative most of the time because they're desprate to make som...

The ones who should be concerned about this are those webmasters who intend on collecting session data from users via CSP reports. Also theregister is a news blog just like the rest of them on the Internet, they work on tips from folks like Scott who intend to publicise things in a negative light wh...

Now you're just devolving the whole conversation into a speculative piece, nobody's freting except tin foil hat theorists, so how about you take a step back and wait till you see how the adblocker works out in the long run ? What is worrying that Google is basically abusing this power to dictate wha...

Speaking of abusive experiences, a stronger popup blocker is also in development - https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/is ... ?id=756089

hey are just planning to create a monoply here by setting arbitrary rules No! They're not setting any rules. Unacceptable ads are being determined by a group called the Coalition for Better Ads, which includes Google, Facebook, News Corp, and The Washington Post as members. It's more of an ad-filte...

Really ? You found this now ? It's already old news if you follow the issue tracker on github.

Bug tracker - https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/is ... ?id=661629

On forums, a rapid onslaught of responses from the members on a particular thread is considered a hot topic and here the hotness is associated with the fire icon.

It's already bypassed with uBO via script:inject filter.

Use WaterFox instead - https://www.waterfoxproject.org/

Source - https://github.com/MrAlex94/Waterfox

That's f*** invasive! Forcing visitor's resources downright for personal gains is unacceptable, needs to be firewalled.

Gorhill created a filterlist for that-https://raw.githubusercontent.com/uBloc ... tterns.txt

Adding that now

They also try to detect easylist filters via this bait script - https://www.palemoon.org/ads.js?id=somead That's just so pathetic and cringeworthy

Ultimately if you want the browser to work 100% as you want, then you will have to cook up your own otherwise setup how much you're willing to let loose.

If you truly want Google free Chromium then feel free to try https://github.com/Eloston/ungoogled-chromium

Ofcourse, no browser is made specifically for YOU, the user. Also that reddit thread is filled with lots of tin foiled hat theories which I won't bother myself to engage further. You will still be using some Google services which can be disabled like you do in Chrome, but there's no automated data c...

Thanks, Lanik.


@JohnDrea No, Chromium is the base for Chrome, nothing new except Chromium doesn't have any tracking shit and metrics data collection that comes with Chrome. If you want to learn more read - https://chromium.woolyss.com/#features

You can download stable/dev/LKCR versions of Chromium from here - https://chromium.woolyss.com This is another best alternative apart from the official bleeding edge builds from https://download-chromium.appspot.com Offers Chromium builds for all major OSs, so feel free to browse and leave your thou...

https://digiday.com/media/google-reveals-sites-failing-ads-including-forbes-la-times/ So far, Google has identified about 700 sites as warranting corrective action out of around 100,000 sites it’s reviewed so far. Half of the roughly 700 got a “failing” status and the other half a “warning.” Pop-ups...

Yes, saw this happening on Github. Completely bogus and invalid. Domain names CANNOT be copyrighted, yet github forwarded the DMCA to Easylist and in fear of getting their entire repo removed, they removed the rule.

I uninstalled Flash and switched to Chromium which is flash-free since the past year.

Adobe is planning to end-of-life Flash. Specifically, we will stop updating and distributing the Flash Player at the end of 2020...

Lanik himself uses *coughs* uBlock Origin *coughs*

In addition to that the old tagline gave the wrong vibe that the forum serves ABP users only, so the new tagline is a correction of that.

Chrome 61 users can feel free to test the feature - chrome://flags/#autoplay-policy

No working solution, but Chromium Devs have implemented a Unified Autoplay Policy - https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/is ... ?id=715049

Keep track of that bug for more information.

Yes to bury EYEO's extortion scheme for good and save themselves and others entities like Google, millions of $$ just to have their ads whitelisted.

[mention]gotitbro[/mention] Oh well, we all are aware how Google loves "monetizing" everything they can find. This will rather provoke more users to install/continue using adblocking tools at their disposal.
