Need to add a pihole to that stack
the return dislike plugin is just stupid. it’s a community database now, so rather than being based on the actual number of dislikes on youtube it’s based on the dislikes of the people who have the plugin.
it used to be that it actually got the real numbers but youtube removed that endpoint so now it’s just a misanthropic echo chamber.
Consent-o-matic instead of cookies and adnausem instead of ublock origin.
Consent-o-matic will actively opt out of popups.
Adnausem is built on top of ublock origin and will silently “click” on the ads behind the scenes to mess up your advertising profile and cost the advertisers money.
Just installed Consent-o-matic and Unpaywalled. Thanks!
Pretty soon, Firefox will need to be replaced with Waterfox and LibreWolf, unfortunately.
Why?
People at the top of Mozilla Org making crappy decisions.
What’s wrong with privacy badger?
Privacy Badger has historically allowed tracking until it successfully identifies a domain as a likely tracker. Like the air bags going off after you’ve already wrapped your car around a telephone pole. But it’s now been changed and is now closer to a list-based tracker blocker (enumerate badness):
They’ve since corrected one of the core issues with PB by doing so, but it still it is very weak. To see why, please glance through The Six Dumbest Ideas in Computer Security.
uBlock Origin in advanced mode, with default-deny rules (only allow assets by exception) is going to be much stronger at blocking crap.
Personally, I use uMatrix with pretty much all asset classes blocked by default. I never see popups. I never see banners begging “please allow our cookies, pleeeeaaase!”.
Not OP, but what puts me off is that it calls itself badger, but really it’s just a software that has nothing in common with those glorious animals. Did you know that badgers’ keen sense of smell is about 800 times sharper than our own?

I think UBO makes it redundant.
The layered security model has redundancy built in as a feature.
Well, it can be replaced with uBlock Origin and some people dont recomend it anymore

Replace Firefox with brave and you’re set
Being a chromium based browser, they’re fixing to loose access to the same features that’s killing Ublock. So in the near future, the Brave CEO is still going to be a cunt, but your ad-blocking is going to be forever inferior.
Are you talking about the browser that added its own referral codes in cryptocurrency sites?
(Yeah, maybe I’m a bit vindictive…)
Prepare for downvotes.
People can hate, but the shield is more convenient than uBlock. I know because I had uBlock origin and noscript back I’m the day. Too bad I tend to separate the app from its creator because it’s beneficial for me.

Agreed.
No love for Ghostery?
Isn’t Ghostery made by an ads company?
No, use uBlock Origin.
