disconnect-tracking-protection VS sidebery

Right, but Firefox’s ETP blocks Statcounter’s JS (see https://github.com/disconnectme/disconnect-tracking-protecti... which is where, I believe, Mozilla source their ETP blocklist from).

Is there a particular reason portmaster uses the depricated and unofficial Disconnect.me Ad Domains (DM-AD) found at https://s3.amazonaws.com/lists.disconnect.me/simple_ad.txt rather than the official up-to-date list found at https://github.com/disconnectme/disconnect-tracking-protection/blob/master/services.json ?

You're wrong. People have noticed that they use Whiteops (now called HUMAN Security) browser fingerprinting.

The lists are part of an open source project that can be found on Github.

Like Microsoft Edge has shared that they use Disconnect's list. Which list is being used by Brave?

However the ultimate proof that it’s effective is that advertisers use it: a quarter of the top 10,000 websites globally use fingerprinting (https://www.zdnet.com/article/a-quarter-of-the-alexa-top-10k-websites-are-using-browser-fingerprinting-scripts/) and basically every company you’ve heard of uses it: https://github.com/disconnectme/disconnect-tracking-protection/blob/master/descriptions.md

Firefox Focus is based on the Mozilla/Firefox/Disconnect tracking block-lists. (https://github.com/disconnectme/disconnect-tracking-protection)

Edge and Firefox use lists provided by Disconnect. I find it quite lacking. If you take a look at their GitHub, it's only occasionaly updated and there's a lot of ignored open issues.

I see what you're saying. I don't expect that will have much, if any, effect. First, their block list is limited: https://github.com/disconnectme/disconnect-tracking-protection/blob/master/services.json

Have you tried the Sidebery vertical tabs extension for Firefox?

I am using https://github.com/mbnuqw/sidebery for this now.

I frequently come across GitHub projects that don’t include any screenshots and the project will contain UI elements. I’m wondering if there is a reason why so many don’t include screenshots?

For example sidebery[1] didn’t have it. I use it and it’s great but it’s hard to get a sense of what it does Without actually showing a screenshot.

I don't think so. I use Sidebery and their recommended approach is to edit userChrome.css. It's not too bad and works well. See https://github.com/mbnuqw/sidebery/wiki/Firefox-Styles-Snipp....

I've only had a brief look through Siderbery's code before https://github.com/mbnuqw/sidebery. I'm not really sure where to start with Vivaldi extensions but I have been tempted to look into it. It's chromium, so chrome extensions will work, although Sidebery is sort of a kitchen sink conversion for Firefox and I'm not sure if something similar exists on Chrome.

I don’t think it was ever possible, based on the creator’s comments in this issue.
