uBlock-issues VS SponsorBlock

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 ;)

Methods to enforce ExtensionManifestV2Availability on Linux for Chromium (and variants) and Chrome: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/discussions/29...

If anyone is wondering why uBlock Origin is no longer available for Safari, since version 13, see:

Make chapter entries for, or remove various segments (sponsor, introductions, etc.) from downloaded YouTube videos using the SponsorBlock API (https://sponsor.ajay.app)

I use https://sponsor.ajay.app/ to skip over them

SponsorBlock[1] does a pretty good job of skipping inline adverts and similar stuff on YouTube. It is, however, crowdsourced rather than using machine learning (so far as I am aware).

That's just a 6 month old reddit post by a random dude. If they're blocking firefox, they're doing it very badly, because I just spent all morning watching football highlight videos running firefox on linux, adblocked, sponsorblocked (https://sponsor.ajay.app/), forging my referer, blocking cookies, with userscripts to unlock private and age-restricted videos, without being logged in.

With my setup, youtube can be broken for months on end. It's running like silk right now.

They have, and for that we have SponsorBlock https://sponsor.ajay.app/

https://ublockorigin.com/

and Sponsor Block

Added onto our web browsers.

It frees up a lot of computer and mental resources to use tools that save you time and screen realestate.

The down side is if we all do it then the money must flow from somewhere other then your favorite advertizer.
