New ubo feature: if page does not grant permission to block ads then entire page is blocked.

When I come across a paywall that is not circumvented by simple script blocking I don’t even bother to try anymore and I remove these suggestions from my feed.

Absolutely. Too bad that even unobtrusive ads still can’t be trusted not to have trackers.

“The growth of dark traffic undermines the ability of publishers to fund the production of quality content, or even operate as a business. We must recognise users are not the main driver causing this.”

“It’s demonetising publisher content at scale without user consent.”

They act like we don’t know what we are doing and want the ads. People who block ads in browsers like ddg and brave choose those browsers for that reason.

I was using (and really liked) Librewolf until I heard that they were having trouble keeping up with Firefox updates. Now I’m using the Phonenix configurations for Firefox and keeping the FF updates separate from the privacy configuration settings. Avoiding forks lets you get the best of both worlds.

I’m just afraid it’s gonna be another 2 years before it’s ready for everyday use
