pihole-regex VS uBlock-issues

There are wrappers for updating regex lists that can be modified with other URLs. This was floating around for a while: https://github.com/mmotti/pihole-regex/blob/master/install.py and this is another method: https://www.bentasker.co.uk/posts/documentation/general/refreshing-piholes-regex-block-list-from-external-sources.html With enough regex tweaking I bet you could shave at least tens of thousands of lines off your list, and it could be divided into regex entries for domains where it makes sense, with the rest being non-regex domain entries. Simple regex that is functionally equivalent to AdBlock style wildcard blocks won't notably bog down the system either. It might take a few hours to get a workflow going to streamline producing such a list, but it can be done.

I also have a bunch of RegEx blacklisted from this pihole-regex/regex.list at master · mmotti/pihole-regex · GitHub and these:

Here's a list of domains I've used for years. All of which have been collected from different websites and sources such as https://firebog.net/ and https://github.com/mmotti/pihole-regex.

I also suggest these regex blocks

Your mileage may vary, but a combination of the default pi-hole list, the firebog.net lists (green, checkmark lists only), and the https://github.com/mmotti/pihole-regex/blob/master/regex.list do a pretty complete job for me.

While not perfect, and does not directly address the YouTube ads, I can suggest setting up mmotti's Regex Filters for Pi-hole.

I did also find these as well: https://github.com/mmotti/pihole-regex/blob/master/regex.list

While this is definitely annoying, most of the time this can be worked around by the extension without workarounds that themself weaken security.

For example I helped uBlock Origin out in 2022 when they ran into this: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/235#iss...

I answered the questions half way myself.The ext. gets disabled because it is manifest 2 not manifest 3. Manifest 2 will be disabled by ~mid 2025 in the Store.

Seeing: seeing https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/wiki/About-Goo...

And asking: What are the diff between manifest 2 and manifest 3 ext?

What is the problem to move to M3? And why is this a ban?

In general it involves setting ExtensionInstallForcelist, but I haven't tried it in practice yet, it's a concept..

These are the instructions for Windows from OP's reddit post: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/discussions/29...

So much more complicated.

Github URL: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock

You should look into the homepage linked from there https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock because that's were it's really from, and not some recommendation via.

Especially their Wiki, because that contains really useful information, how to handle more advanced stuff, which can't really be done 'automagically' for all sorts of websites. Maybe even their reddit also linked from the mozilla site, though I'm guessing you're not fond of the latter.

You could also consider using https://librewolf.net/ instead of Firefox, because that's built and delivered with much desired settings, while the undesired stuff is left out.

Which you'd have otherwise to setup manually, put together piece-wise from countless different places, because there is no place who has it all. By the way, they have their own redddit, too.

Which leads to less hassle with system management problems. Not to speak of being delivered with uBlock Origin out of the box.

Works really well for me, and I'm picky, because I've grown bored with systems management problems, too ;)
