Extension developers - watchout for shady offers to buy/collaborate/help monetize
If you feel like reading a lot, you can see a nice example here: https://github.com/NanoAdblocker/NanoCore/issues/362 (popular addon is sold to 2 Turkish developers and author is happy that he made money and that someone will continue his project, except they released malware with the first update :D)

Firejail that shit!
Nano-Defender List for uBO, it wasn't great to begin with (based on Reek's Anti-Adblock Killer, which is known to cause issues), but for like half a year ago the project (the list's accompanying Chrome addon to be precise) has been sold to malware distributors: https://github.com/NanoAdblocker/NanoCore/issues/362

Nano Defender filter list URls are broken, has anyone found a fix? Does anyone know why it's broken?
Forgot to mention the obvious: uninstall now -- with those capabilities, it should be considered malware. Source: https://github.com/NanoAdblocker/NanoCore/issues/362#issuecomment-709456180

3 Million Google Chrome Users were Infected by Malicious Extensions and More Keep Popping Up
I remember the cases of two addons being hijacked for malware distribution: The Great Suspender and one called Nano Adblocker. At least in the case of the former, not only were the changes not published on github, code had been added to obfuscate debugging through the browser; Code was also added to detect and obfuscate its code if it detected that the user was trying to inspect/debug the addon from within the browser using the developer console. The author of Ublock Origin shares his analysis of that here.

Impossible? Someone Has Drained my Entire Nano S / Ledger Live wallet without Ledger Connected?
Unless you have seen all the data surrounding Ledger Live you wouldn't know. From Malicious Nano Defenders Adblocks designed to infiltrate you and data mine you specifically. Raymond Hill creator of ublock comments here https://github.com/NanoAdblocker/NanoCore/issues/362#issuecomment-709428210 ... To leaking all personal data on its customers... their is more obviously.... Run... Final conclusion GUILTY, not only for negligence but intent to isolate target and steal its own customers monies.

:matches-path with pseudo-elements
There is an open issue for this: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/2786 uBO should report such filter as en error in Firefox, so that is the thing to fix.

📌 YouTube Anti-Adblock and Ads - November 12, 2023 (Mega Thread)
Current estimated cost for just ONE of uBO's CDNs: HERE. This is with other lists updating every few days. uBO's not a company, it's a volunteer project using free services, which have limits that we cannot cross.

How to block YT ads like a champ
The extension with the best success rate seems to be **uBlock Origin**. It is a community driven project with a team of volunteers, you can review the source code [here](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock). You will need to update your filter lists regularly, this because Youtube changes detection methods daily. Here is how you do that:

Show HN: Bedframe – open-source Browser Extension Development framework
Definitely a much-needed area for development. However, having gone down the browser extension rabbit hole, I've largely shifted my focus to user scripts. Granted, there will always be a need for specialized browser extensions like ad blockers (uBlock[1]), keyboard shortcuts (Vimium-C[2]), and password managers (Bitwarden[3]).
That said, I find user scripts superior for most tasks, despite some lacking UI niceties. They are easier to share, use, and crucially, audit—be it in terms of scope, permissions, or code updates. Plus if Manifest V3 is any indicator, the future for browser extensions looks bleak. While I don't agree with this direction, it's probably for the best for the majority of users, like my mom.
Your effort is commendable; however, should you find yourself looking for a viable pivot in the future, I believe the user script space is primed for innovation and could offer a good alternative.
