  • uBlock

    uBlock Origin - An efficient blocker for Chromium and Firefox. Fast and lean.

  • Thought it was curious that this was released 4 days ago, but a spot check of the Firefox Add-Ons downstream[1] still reflects 1.51.0 staged on the same day (2023-07-19) as its GitHub release[2].

    Then I saw:

    > Firefox: Review pending

    Mozilla just seriously backlogged or is there a more nuanced story here?

  • cromite

    Cromite a Bromite fork with ad blocking and privacy enhancements; take back your browser!

  • > uBO works best on Firefox.

    Those looking for performant adblocking in Chrome should also check out Cromite:

    https://github.com/uazo/cromite

    Its a resumption of Bromite for Android/Windows, but the adblocking and tracking protection is far less limited since its native, not an extension.

    Of course, YMMV with lone Chromium fork devs.

  • nuTensor

    nuTensor: Point and click matrix to filter net requests according to source, destination and type (by nicolaasjan)

  • As far as I've seen, the most recently committed fork of uMatrix is this one:

    https://github.com/nicolaasjan/nuTensor

  • AdguardBrowserExtension

    AdGuard browser extension

  • There's nothing that offers all these features and is free. But if you'd like to try Orion browser by Kagi [1], you can install uBlock Origin and many other web extensions for it on Mac, iOS and iPadOS. A paid alternative that is similar (at least for blocking specific elements) is AdGuard [2].
