Not sponsored, I just genuinely like the product. Adguard doesn’t require manifests because it works outside the browser.
On the other news I hope this bullshit is finally the straw that kills chrome.
Ublock origin is far way more advanced and complete than adguard, though. Cosmetic filtering, for example
Adguard does have cosmetic filtering thou. I’m talking about their paid app not dns servers.
idk what people say but webextensions were a mistake.
Allowing any deranged “security” zealot into FOSS community and projects is a mistake. Boycott GrapheneOS, boycott Brad Spengler, boycott grsecurity, boycott clowns like madaidan, boycott the ones that go around shitting on F-Droid and promote Google Play Store in the same breath.
Why boycott GrapheneOS? I feel a bit OOTL here, I only know the drama with the ex-lead dev, but I understand that the project as a whole is your best bet at a mobile experience that you control. Am I missing something?

This spans 4 years of privacy community, and explains how the security cult that tries to hack through FOSS community works. If you take just 1-2 hours to go through every piece of information and evidence here, you will no longer be OOTL. I am a true privacy militant.
The 5th year aka last year is here, but it is more focused on the key entity, since rest of the people are no longer as active, and this is the last big hurdle. https://old.reddit.com/r/privatelife/comments/13teoo9/grapheneos_corporate_foss_loving_witch_hunting/
I wrote and covered all of this for years to hope people listen to one reasonable privacy person that’s not a conspiratorial nutjob.
What is this misleading ad nauseam crap? uBO Lite has existed for a good while since the codebase changes started to make rounds with Chrome 85 (or 87) version. It is a uBO without the manual matrix toggling and element picker, but has all the adblocker lists you can pick.
If you want to use the real deal that empowers the user, Chromium browsers are not an option. They are a second opinion browser. Boycott anyone, even those Bromite/Cromite/Vanadium evangelists for Android, who go around bullshitting how Firefox is “insecure”.
Firefox.
Just thought I’d get that one out of the way early.
