  • uBlock

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

  • Pi-Hole and uBO are enough by themselves.

    > To benefit from uBlock Origin's higher efficiency, it's advised that you don't use other content blockers at the same time (such as Adblock Plus, AdBlock). uBlock Origin will do as well or better than most popular ad blockers. Other blockers can also prevent uBlock Origin's privacy or anti-blocker-defusing features from working properly.

  • brave-browser

    Brave browser for Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, Windows.

  • Brave proxies Google endpoints (see https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/wiki/Deviations-from-... for a list). This is to prevent users from making unintended contact with Google. This particular error ("Access Denied") encountered by the author could be from Google, but could also be from a transient issue with the Brave proxy serving a 401 response (or similar).

  • uBlock-Safari

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

  • uBlock origin put Ghostery lite in list of good replacement for people on safari so I'm confused now.

  • ghostery-extension

    Ghostery Browser Extension for Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Edge and Safari

  • Disclaimer: I work for Ghostery. I respond to protect my own name, not my employer.

    Ghostery is not selling user data.

    Let me point out a few facts:

    All browser-side code is open source https://github.com/ghostery/ghostery-extension and https://github.com/ghostery/ghostery-dnr-extension.

    Yes, Ghostery has a subscription based business model and that another reason to great care in protecting users privacy. Take a look on how we use blind tokens to authenticate subscribed users while searching on glowstery.com https://github.com/ghostery/ghostery-search-extension (notice that even when you are a subscribed user there is no session cookie so queries cannot be linked).

    Hope this sheds some light on the accusation. If that’s not enough, I do sincerely recommend uBlock Origin or AdGuard on Apple’s platform.

  • brave-core

    Core engine for the Brave browser for mobile and desktop. For issues https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues

  • Great question! Dates and times are one of the most loathed obstacles in writing software that needs to work a particular way across millions of devices situated all across the globe in different regions and time zones.

    In our case, we had a bit of code that aimed to measure the time until midnight/tomorrow. But when clocks change at midnight, that can really test your assumptions. As a result, the date on which clocks are adjusted can appear to be longer than 24 hours in duration. This can throws off your math if you expect the next day to be no more than 24 hours into the future.

    A bit of logic, responsible for setting up a timer, wound up scheduling numerous timers when our 'How long until tomorrow' code began returning negative numbers. That mountain of unintended timers could then lock-up the browser itself. You can see our issue for the behavior here: https://github.com/brave/brave-core/pull/11030.

    For 10 minutes of anxiety, check out 'The Problem of Time & Timezones' from Tom Scott of Computerphile: https://youtu.be/-5wpm-gesOY. It's a fantastic summary of the issues programmers face when dealing with time :)
