hblock VS chromium-web-store

I'm talking something like hblock (https://hblock.molinero.dev/) which is for host blocking malceous+ other websites. Imagine blocking every single address manually. To get a picture how impossible it be here is the sample hosts file (https://hblock.molinero.dev/hosts) just do line count and you will understand.

they will never block open source world! For Linux: https://github.com/hectorm/hblock For Linux/Win/Android https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts

A quick and dirty solution is just using something likehBlock, that will block most unnecessary traffic (malware from Google, Meta, Microsoft, and generic advertising companies, etc.)

I just came across this tool hblock that seems simpler to install and run.

An Australian got an error with their postal tracking app, compare Hagezi's "OK we'll whitelist it so your app doesn't break" vs hblock's "Meh, go report to the source list maintainer".

If you want systemwide block you may look hblock

Yeah, definitely going to skip that list. Compare how Hagezi and hblock deal with the exact same issue, still not going to adopt it because the hype turns me off, but at least I prefer "ok, we make sure the site you visit doesn't break" compared to dismissive "oh it's a tracker so it's your fault".

Ungoogled Chromium (Mac & Linux), much more performant than Firefox; use Chromium Web Store to maintain extensions (ungoogled means ungoogled, no normal Chrome Web Store), and xBrowserSync for bookmarks. I really wish I could just use Safari on Mac though, all I want is bookmark sync (and more/better extensions, but bookmark sync).

And if you want to use extensions from the Web Store: https://github.com/NeverDecaf/chromium-web-store

ungoogled-chromium with chromium-web-store

Are there any chromium browsers on Android with addons? I'm not aware of any, so I primarily use Iceraven. On desktop I do have chromium with some addons, but the safest source is the Google web store. If you're using fully ungoogled chromium then you'll first need a custom extension to get access to the web store. You can get that here: https://github.com/NeverDecaf/chromium-web-store

Install some of these extensions using by manually going through the Chromium web store (from github): uBlock Origin Privacy Badger by EFF Trace - Online Tracking Protection Fast Forward Disconnect Decentraleyes Smart referer (link, and I believe it is firefox only?)

If you have to use it anyway, atleast use some popular open source tools like this. https://github.com/NeverDecaf/chromium-web-store or use this guide https://avoidthehack.com/manually-install-extensions-ungoogled-chromium.

there's an extension for Ungoogled which is used to auto update extensions called "Chromium webstore" on github here.

as an alternative to the already mentioned options there is also ungoogled-chromium on flathub. Flatpak should already be preinstalled on Fedora (was there for me on 36 fresh install). Note that you will need to sideload chromium-web-store to get access to the Chrome extensions store. There is also a workaround for dark mode in the readme on the github repo for the flatpak.
