What’s the second-best browser that works well with uBlock Origin after Firefox?
Adnauseum is basically Ublock origin, some can say its better since it also clicks on ads to poison your ad personalization data.
So why doesnt it get the same attention as other adblockers? You see the downloads on Adnauseum is a fraction of UBO, Adguard, or Ghostery.
Any idea why?
Hey!
Im trying to block ads in mercado play argentina https://play.mercadolibre.com.ar/ and when finding which web addreses are the resposible for the ads, I find that the video player stops working after blocking them all (as if at least one ad has to be viewed maybe?)
Has someone found or bypassed an ad like this?
Thanks!
I know it might not be relevant to this sub, but I have a college project on the importance of adblocker and quite a few other things on the web, So I decided to show a live demonstration.
The idea is i'll visit the site with ubo off and show how dirty the site is filled with ads and trackers and stuff. Then I'll turn on ubo and show the difference and show how many ads and trackers it blocked.
Can I get a list of site which bombard you with ads the moment you visit them ?
I would appericate if its not a NSFW site with NSFW ads since its a College demonstration.
Hey there! So I've noticed a few people talking about a new error that is occurring while using Adblock Pro that is making videos constantly buffer between the 0:00 mark and the end of the video. Well, I haven't dealt with it on my computer (I use opera gx with ublock origin), but my boyfriend has (Microsoft edge with Adblock Pro [yes him using edge is very cringe, he will not listen to advice]). Anyways, he discovered a weird workaround. So if you queue up a video on the same account on YouTube TV, and it loads an ad, it will make it work on your computer instantly. Also, there were no errors on demonetized content. So hopefully this is helpful to someone. Very strange, but it works.
TL;DR- run a video that is on the same account as your PC on the YouTube TV app until an ad plays. Your queued video on your PC will instantly boot up.
So i know that many loath ai, but some of the bigger models are great classifiers and believe it or not do a great job finding ads. ai is currently too slow to do on first page load, but in the background it can work and after a couple of page loads, it starts detecting very well. It also relies on tried and true public lists.
It does initially download an ai model depending on your hardware. Everything is transparent in the system tab if you want to see under the hood. it also does Anti-Fingerprinting, Auto Block Cookies and cookie popups, Canvas fingerprint randomization, WebRTC leak protection, and Navigator spoofing too. Most sites also use cookie cutter ad placeholders, the extension "sees" this and kills them on other sites as it loads.

Since everything is 100% local, If you have a decent GPU and care to provide some feedback, would like to see what the world thinks. Some sites it acts pretty aggressive, I'm working to see if I can find a better balance. I used to rely on blocking at the DNS level, but want better control in the browser.
