  • About uBlockOrigin and Thunderbird
    reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin | 2021-05-13
    There has been a Thunderbird version of uBO for a long time regularly updated by gorhill. You could have found out yourself by checking the uBO github site. I haven't tried it in Thunderbird for a while - but last time I did it worked well for RSS feeds but not for filtering mails. Obviously because there are still APIs missing needed for that but chances are that they will be available at some time in the future. In the meantime you should block remote content as already suggested to you. Besides, the security risk of allowing remote content is small as javascript is not available in mails (and cannot even allowed manually).

    Content blockers in Chromium-based browsers can't block reliably at browser launch, see https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/uBlock-Origin-works-best-on-Firefox#browser-launch.

  • Is it possible to disable all filters except one custom filter?
    reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin | 2021-05-12
    You can use the Logger and the DOM Inspector to identify the filters that are being applied on the site, and create exceptions for them.
  • TIP: If you often get annoyed by sites asking to send "notifications" on Chrome browser, you can disable it completely here: chrome://settings/content/notifications

  • Changing number of blocked trackers
    reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin | 2021-05-10
    uBO's logger will show you that YT sends requests that get blocked (presumably because their sole purpose is profiling you) at regular intervals. So the longer you watch, the larger the number of blocked requests gets. The same is true for any site that similarly sends such repeated "pings" which get blocked.
  • Are ##^.someclass and ##.someclass:remove() the same?
    reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin | 2021-05-10
    As RraaLL mentioned, HTML filtering only works on Firefox. You can read about it here. The target for removal is an HTML tag.
