Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Mozilla reaffirms that Firefox will continue to support current content blockers
No well-known content blocker "process about 90,000 regexps" to find out whether a resource needs to be blocked or not, that's just not how it works internally.
Last time I ran benchmarks of all well-known content blockers using Ghostery's benchmark tool[1], all of them could process a network request under 20µs on average.
Some do have performance concerns, but it has nothing to do with network filtering, it has to do with other stuff they do beyond network filtering (for example see [2]) and declarativeNetRequest does not help there, so they will still suffer these performance issues under MV3.

Back to Firefox, Brave wasn't the best
Only benchmarking can tell, we shouldn't make assumption about this. Currently the only comparative benchmark which I know of is ghostery/adblocker and running it with the latest static filtering engines shows uBO performing better:
-
Best Mozilla Firefox Ad Blocker
With that in mind, uBO's blocking engine is currently the fastest as demonstrated by latest Cliqz's benchmarks, so the "quicker" claim does not hold either.
- LibreWolf browser: telemetry stripped Firefox fork
-
Can uBO be used in programs outside of browsers?
Author of RSS Guard here. After considering many approaches, I managed to dump old C++-based slow adblocking mechanism from RSS Guard and replaced it with this.

Wexond 5.2.0 is out!

After longer pause all internet blocked dammit.
We are aware of connectivity issues with WireGuard (ref) that we've fixed in yet-to-release version v055b. Please wait until that's out (2 days? 3?) (:

Widget / Notification Action for Universal Lockdown
Noted. Thanks.
- Make rethinkdns show allowed apps at the top

What is the best firewall app for android?
Also, crafting nice UI isn't our strong suit. One look at our github issue tracker (ex) and you'd know. We try our best, though (:

Thoughts on RethinkDNS. Firewall, Privacy, Ads, all-in-one app for privacy.
sky is a stub resolver, which after stripping out all request information, forwards the dns query to both Cloudflare and Google DoH servers (code), and replies from which ever responds back the fastest. Both the client app and the resolver (server) are open source, so if you find any leaks and know what's up, we're open to changes.
-
Allow inbound LAN connections
Could, but it'd clutter the Settings screen? Probably, Rethink could let expert users enter arbitrary IP subnets to exclude / not route? This setting will be a footgun, though! Regardless, I've noted it: https://github.com/celzero/rethink-app/issues/899

v054b: A much improved DNS
I believe it is a bug with okhttp, a library we use internally for blocklist updates: https://github.com/celzero/rethink-app/issues/875

Using NetGuard over Blokada 5
NetGuard can block tracker and ad (albeit very basic), so you can use it on its own without Blokada. Or you can use the AdGuard app instead which has both firewall and (complete) adblocking feature. If you prefer open source app then check Rethink https://github.com/celzero/rethink-app

IMHO, Asus Calculator is the best calculator app around
First one is Rethink DNS: https://github.com/celzero/rethink-app to manage and block domains when apps connecting to internet (similar to Blokada, Adguard...). Here that calculator app connects to googletagmanager after installing and opening.
-
I can't block the domain mtalk.google.com. What could be the reason?
In v054b, we're planning to switch back to the old behaviour -- of domain names blocked during DNS name resolution instead of (translating it to IP rules) at TCP / UDP connection time -- if the user has not set any per-app domain name rules and if the user is not using Bypass DNS and Firewall setting for any app: https://github.com/celzero/rethink-app/issues/817
