Even though extensions aren’t yet supported, would it be conceivable to build uBlock Origin into qutebrowser?

  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • adblock-rust

    Brave's Rust-based adblock engine

  • Only a subset of uBO's features would be supported - it's unlikely that such a subset would be much more than what's provided by the Brave adblocking library, which actually is intended to be used as a standalone library! However, it would be a maintenance nightmare.

  • qutebrowser

    A keyboard-driven, vim-like browser based on Python and Qt.

  • It does indeed use the Brave Rust adblocking library. However, the big difference likely is that qutebrowser doesn't support cosmetic filtering yet, i.e. it only blocks ads based on network requests so far.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • Repeat the above periodically to keep up with uBO changes
