adblock-resources VS uAssets

You can find them here https://github.com/brave/adblock-resources/blob/master/filter_lists/list_catalog.json

Brave utilizes a lot of sources that are uBlock. For what it´s worth. So either test/make sure that Brave Shields is set to Aggressive and/or add any additional sources you have in uBlock that are missing in Brave and check if that works better for you.

For most people, the built-in Brave ad blocker set to "Aggressive" should work perfectly fine, as it uses the same default filter lists as uBlock Origin. It also works on Android and won't be subjected to the restrictions for extensions when Google remove support for Manifest V2 – as it isn't an extension.

Brave is essentially Chrome underneath, but with the privacy invading crap removed. It's Rust-based built-in ad blocker works on Android, as well as desktop and uses the same default filter lists as uBlock Origin. It's also possible add additional filter lists from brave://adblock.

Actually Brave has more filter lists on top of uBO as you can see here so if you want those maybe you can add them to uBO as well, but I'm not sure if they're compatible. But uBO on hard mode is definitely stronger protection than Brave with these lists

The Brave Shields content blocker also works really well on Android and uses the same lists as uBlock Origin (see HERE). In the next release, they're adding more procedural cosmetic filtering improvements to their content blocker (see HERE), which will allow even more advanced content blocking. This is already working in Brave Nightly.

Okay then I can also understand that the default.json is built into the AdBlocker, so to speak, and the regional.json is what you can choose from the list in the browser?

1. Force uBlock Origin out.

2. Reimplement its features selectively.

uBlock Origin comes with a filter called 'Block Outsider Intrusion into LAN'[0].

Migrate to Firefox and install uBlock Origin, you will have this feature and more.

Aternos is problematic. See issue https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/issues/13144

Looking at the filters that uBlock is using, it still seems to be some sort of regex on the xhr request/response body [1]. Why can't youtube trivially defeat this by encrypting everything?

a) How does ublock (-the extention-) upgrade . i suppose what that purge caches does is going to the repo and grabs the latest lists/ids etc ... but if during this battle you had to upgrade the extention itself was this done via the extention store or the the extention goes grabs the new version by it self ?

Mega thread issue on GitHub tracking this https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/issues/19976

Reddit is not and should not be considered a tech support site.

YouTube is stepping up the anti-adblock nonsense and will be disabling playback after 3 videos

Personally, this sort of arms race is only going to cause me to not use YouTube
