Current estimated cost for just ONE of uBO's CDNs: HERE. This is with other lists updating every few days. uBO's not a company, it's a volunteer project using free services, which have limits that we cannot cross.

How to block YT ads like a champ
The extension with the best success rate seems to be **uBlock Origin**. It is a community driven project with a team of volunteers, you can review the source code [here](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock). You will need to update your filter lists regularly, this because Youtube changes detection methods daily. Here is how you do that:

Show HN: Bedframe – open-source Browser Extension Development framework
Definitely a much-needed area for development. However, having gone down the browser extension rabbit hole, I've largely shifted my focus to user scripts. Granted, there will always be a need for specialized browser extensions like ad blockers (uBlock[1]), keyboard shortcuts (Vimium-C[2]), and password managers (Bitwarden[3]).
That said, I find user scripts superior for most tasks, despite some lacking UI niceties. They are easier to share, use, and crucially, audit—be it in terms of scope, permissions, or code updates. Plus if Manifest V3 is any indicator, the future for browser extensions looks bleak. While I don't agree with this direction, it's probably for the best for the majority of users, like my mom.
Your effort is commendable; however, should you find yourself looking for a viable pivot in the future, I believe the user script space is primed for innovation and could offer a good alternative.

Chrome refuses to load any website if uBlock Origin is turned on
https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/wiki/Toolbar-icon - Says when it's loading settings and filters it will be yellow. Says exclamation mark means network requests were fired before ubo was ready to filter, meaning some ads etc might come through.

What’s a piece of software that doesn’t get enough coverage?
uBlock Origin a very efficient browser extension that blocks ads and more. Been using it for years and recommend it! https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock
- Is it possible to search my active uBlock Origin Filter Lists for a particular site?

uBlock Origin 1.50.* announcement thread
In some cases, installation may be blocked until browser restart. This is protection against accidental mid-session reloads, Issue #717.
-
uBlock Origin 1.50.0 released
Nowhere in there does he says it disappeared. He edited a previous comment saying it went away, problem with such random report instead of very carefully going through systematic steps is that it's easy to make mistake. For all I know the section might have been collapsed and he overlooked this. Anyway, reproducible issues have to reported at https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues, and in there we ask people to be thorough so as to eliminate mistakes.

why do I constantly need to refresh Chrome to get pages to load properly?
Adblock is an old, outdated, sellout adblocker, use uBlock Origin instead, I don't guarantee this will fix the problem you're facing but it is something you should address anyway.

Website Search Hurts My Feelings
It's been that way for years: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/20351
I lost hope it and other issues would be fixed and moved to Chromium on Android.

Mozilla tells extension developers to get ready to finally go mobile
Since Fenix's first release they've been saying that the absurd limitations on add-ons support were only temporary, and they would have quickly increased the number of supported ones.
And instead absolutely nothing changed for three years.
Furthermore the insane bugs from which Fenix suffers from its release (https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/12731) (making it unbearable) have been left hanging, focusing the few resources on dumb ui experiments.
So everything suggested that Mozilla did not care of its Android browser, or actually that they were deliberately sabotaging it.
This news instead represents a huge improvement, hence my bewilderment.
I don't know what people who downvoted my message thought I meant.

Firefox Address Bar Tips
This was sadly deprecated on Android: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/12099
It was such a huge loss for me that for at least a year I used the outdated pre-Fenix. Now they still work on Desktop but they just stopped working on Android (althouth the bookmarks itself are synced-up)

scroll position problem on iPadOS?
Bug is still persistent, however I have found a case of this bug happening before; https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/7382

Firefox Android VR only plays audio, not video
Another user who reported a similar issue was told to watch this bug report: Using an HTML video element as a texture source with WebGL no longer works. It's set to highest priority level, but unfortunately hasn't received any attention lately.

What CHROMIUM-BASED browser are you using right now?
If you are curious, I'm an Android tablet user and this is the reason why I don't use Mull or Fennec. Apparently is a problem common to all Fenix browsers.

What does Clinical SAS code base look like?
Code Base is large with 10's and 100's of files. And there is dependency and Execution in between all of them. Example: Firefox App , NextCloud App
