  • uBlock-issues

    This is the community-maintained issue tracker for uBlock Origin

  • Raymond Hill, the developer of uBlock Origin said that "removing the blocking ability of the webRequest API means the death of uBO" in this comment

    https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/338#iss...

    You can follow the issue tracker for any progress related to MV3 development of uBO but from what I can see, there isn't much interest yet in porting uBO to MV3 because it's not worth it.

    This EFF article also goes into details about why MV3 is harmful for adblockers.

  • nitter

    Alternative Twitter front-end

  • If you're mostly reading on Twitter: https://github.com/zedeus/nitter

    I share the experience with Maps, though I never see it these days as the G gets its own ungoogled-chromium sandbox and don't get to play with other domains here.

  • profiler

  • socks5-server

    Discontinued A socks5 server written in Golang. (by net-byte)

  • The Multi Account Containers extension has an Advanced proxy settings at the bottom when you go in to Manager Containers. I have a go based socks proxy running on docker somewhere. I enter the details for that there. Syntax is socks://ip:port .

    I have two socks implementations installed. I A/B test them sometimes but they seem to be basically equivalent in terms of performance. (My 100mbits connection would not really saturate any proxy). I wouldn't be surprised if these were basically the http stack of go without much difference between them.

  • go-socks5-proxy

    A lightweight Go SOCKS5 proxy-server

  • https://github.com/ocassio/go-socks5-proxy (old but works fine)

    Note: If you're using a chromium based browser you can use the excellent SwitchyOmega plugin to do this much easier and with more functionality.
