uAssets VS nuTensor

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.

fixed https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/commit/613159034ef6eed417516e90710474dfab42a808

BTW the whole issue was this, https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/commit/de85f38ad297a6724d3f06d360f1693ab29599ad

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

Fixing anti-adblock may cause ads or breakages. If you see any issue, please report back the EXACT URL and your country when accessing the URL so volunteers are able to investigate by commenting here or in this thread on github.

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

nuTensor from geekprojects (Archived)

https://github.com/geekprojects/nuTensor says their intent is to keep it working with Firefox. It is 23 commits ahead of the gorhill/uMatrix repo, but it hasn't had a commit in two years.

But nikobockerman did not commit anything. Its just a fork of the archived https://github.com/geekprojects/nuTensor. Therefore I dont see it maintained. But just now I realized you never told the fork was maintained.

sorry, i just realized the project is called "nuTensor", not uTensor. This is their github https://github.com/geekprojects/nuTensor

You can try to write to one of the developers of forks, such as nuTensor, perhaps they can fix the problem and then you can use the fork.

The uBlock Origin patch can be cleanly applied to the uMatrix codebase. Here's the analogous PR for nuTensor: https://github.com/geekprojects/nuTensor/pull/24

The ηMatrix patch would require slight modifications due to stylistic differences between the uMatrix and ηMatrix codebases.

If the nuTensor PR gets applied and releases are made, then switching extensions might be a reasonable migration path for some users. You can also try to sideload a patched version of uMatrix, but sideloading procedures have become more onerous over time and may be annoying to deal with.

Manually applied the changes in this pull request from the nuTensor project to the file /src/js/main-blocked.js. :)

Also uMatrix is not dead. Just use nuTensor instead. It's very simple to compile (on Linux). I don't know anything about programming but I managed, so, so can you (probably).

There's the nuTensor fork which will not add features but will maintain the code.
