Firefox-automatic-install-for-Linux VS hosts

i personally would also recomment you to start using the flatpak version, but if you really dont want to but still want to have an easy way to install the current verison, maybe this: https://github.com/Linux-Is-Best/Firefox-automatic-install-for-Linux could interest you. Hope it helps.

It looks like you are using your distro provided version of Firefox. Use https://github.com/Linux-Is-Best/Firefox-automatic-install-for-Linux to download a Mozilla build that comes with the Private Window option you want.

I use https://github.com/Linux-Is-Best/Firefox-automatic-install-for-Linux/ for Nightly, but you could probably use it for release as well.

This will be the 2nd time GitHub has proven to be problematic. The 1st time was over a year ago and you can read about it here: https://github.com/Linux-Is-Best/Firefox-automatic-install-for-Linux/issues/3

Understanding that there are three types of people, I have included three (3) different ways to install Mozilla Firefox. One of them is the personal installer, which does not require SUDO and does not install Firefox for everyone, just you, privately, isolated in your own little corner. You seemed to have missed that part. https://github.com/Linux-Is-Best/Firefox-automatic-install-for-Linux/tree/master/personal

Here is the developer branch. I am working (coding) in my browser window, so I wouldn't clone the developer branch if I were you. lol https://github.com/Linux-Is-Best/Firefox-automatic-install-for-Linux/tree/Linux-Is-Best-patch-1/personal

I was so tired (sleepy) that when I finally wrapped it up and published my release, I forgot a file. I had to re-release the whole development because of it. lol https://github.com/Linux-Is-Best/Firefox-automatic-install-for-Linux/releases

Not by default but a blocklist can be found here https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts

While it is now unblocked, the Steven Black list has been blocking a lot of innocent CDNs.

How does this compare to using a hosts file with known ad servers?

like: https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts

I use the Hosts file to block a ton of ads and that works really well. https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts Something worth considering if your ad blocker isn't working well.

The no-tracking project used by RaspAP is shutting down, so we took the opportunity to search for open source blocklist alternatives. Among the best is Steven Black's hosts list: https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts

No idea, api.radar.io is on the block list since January 2020.

The commit's comment is "major update from adaway.org"

You can also use a declarative adblocker like uBlock Origin Lite [1], which only provides the browser with a list of elements to filter, but doesn't have any permissions to read content or perform requests. Or simply use your hosts file to apply OS-wide filtering with no browser add-ons needed: https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts

Be aware that if you use these "passive" blocking methods, there are some sites like YouTube where you will see ads, because in these cases it's necessary to actually manipulate page content to hide them. What you can do is use a traditional adblocker but enable it only for these few sites where the declarative approach is not enough, take a look at [2] for more details.

When I select my custom hosts file, it basically breaks internet. However, if I choose a custom hosts file that is a copy of the dev's default, or if I just add a few lines to it, it will work. If I add too many lines, or use a different hosts file altogether (like the ones recommended by the dev), all connectivity breaks. Of course the latest official LetMeBlock is installed and mDNSResponder killed/restarted. I'm using Dopamine on A12+.
