uBlock VS smart-referer

thanks for your explanation, I now understand about what scripts you wrote on your previous answer. But I meant something a bit different I think - probably didn't make it clear enough - here and here is this my question talked about in official github where the ublock owner (I assume) answered that "This would run counter to what I see as an ideal", so this behaviour was disabled intentionally and will never come back. So sorry for bothering you, I think that concludes my question, because haters are already downvoting it smh

I was there, not sure how you couldn't be there unless you're new to the internet and browser addons in general. Pretty common knowledge that he gave the project away. https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/issues/38 https://twitter.com/gorhill/status/1019975271443771392 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UBlock\_Origin#uBlock nothing is misleading, gorhill says it himself. Just stop spreading bullshit I still can't figure out why you looked at articles instead of just the events of it actually happening https://github.com/uBlock-LLC/uBlock/issues/1419

For those interested this can be done on ad blockers but they are not the default. For ublock origin you will even have to write your own rules.

To reiterate, the reason why annoyance filter lists are not enabled by default is because of higher likelihood of site breakage, not because of performance concerns, see https://github.com/uBlock-LLC/uBlock/releases/tag/0.8.2.8.

I've posted this issue a while ago: https://github.com/uBlock-LLC/uBlock/issues/1831

It's a hub for open-source code. You can share your code, but also contribute to others code. For example, here is uBlock's source code. If there is a bug when you use it, you can ask other users if they know how to fix it. Or better, you can download the code yourself, find the bug and fix it. Then you can send that fix to them and it gets added to the code. Now you have personally improve that tool!

Note that some sites depend on referrer and might break with this.

Here's a list of them maintained by the extension mentioned above: https://gitlab.com/smart-referrer/smart-referer/-/blob/gh-pa...

Now the problem is that it hasn't been updated since 3 years(last updated on Dec 18, 2019 according to AMO). Last commit on its gitlab repository was done on Sept 15, 2020. Now I am no developer, but I am sure that there has been quite a few changes in Firefox and some heavily discussed changes like MV3 and others are making its way to the browser as well. The add-on seems to have been abandoned by the developer judging by the activity in the repository.

Well there's a read me here that talks about whitelists etc. From a quick look it seems like you could probably accomplish the same thing with ClearURLs or similar. The default whitelist seems to be out of date by three years. Isn't this thing abandoned?

Smart referer (link, and I believe it is firefox only?)

If not, is there an option too? I saw this (GitLab - Smart Referrer) but I wasn't sure if it was necessary if Firefox and/or Brave already does this for me.

Smart Referrer Control -- Defer Referring information in a smart way

Source code is on gitlab

I would also recommend Smart Referrer and ETag Stoppa.
