One third-party filter list for uBO that I absolutely love is Web Annoyances Ultralist: https://github.com/yourduskquibbles/webannoyances https://github.com/you

  Do you have weird bugs with it? I like the idea but I will be worried of having random bugs time to time that are more annoying than the annoyance the list try to remove.

    I've never had any issues with it. (At least that I'm aware of - I block lots of stuff by default with uMatrix, so I usually assume breakage is due to that.) In case you're worried that it'll catch incorrect elements via generic selectors or the like, the list is almost entirely site-specific selectors (see [1]). The (much smaller) list of generic selectors can be found at [2].

      how does one go about finding lists like these?
      • nathcd 8y ago
        hmmmmm, IIRC I just found this one via DDG. This is the only third-party list I use. From a quick look-around, I just found https://filterlists.com/ https://filterlists.com/ though.

  > One third-party filter list for uBO that I absolutely love is Web Annoyances Ultralist Glad you find it useful! Personal anecdote: While developing & maintaining a list it can be difficult to know if others are finding it useful because once it is being used (if it is done properly and doesn't break sites), there should be almost no feedback from the user base because they may just think the web is working as it should be and don't realize why it is how it is.

    @yourduskquibble awesome list! Thanks :) . I've been actively searching for something like it a few weeks ago to get rid of sticky headers, and didn't find it. In my searches I used the term coined by John Gruber for annoying stick headers: "dickbar" [0]. Maybe consider adding it to the list of GitHub keywords? Also, to iOS passersby: here's an annoyances blocker for your Safari blocking pleasure: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/unobstruct/id1255281426 https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/unobstruct/id1255281426 [0] https://daringfireball.net/2017/06/medium_dickbars https://daringfireball.net/2017/06/medium_dickbars

      Great suggestion I will add that. How discovery happens for others is great info.

  I wonder if we see it on mobile platforms someday. Not having a norootneeded adblocker on android or ios is very sad

Not having a norootneeded adblocker on android or ios is very sad Not sure if this is what you mean exactly, but uBlock Origin (as well as a lot of other Firefox extensions) can be installed[1] on Firefox for Android.[2] [1] https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/ublock-origin/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/ublock-origin...

      Thx! Didn't notice that Mozilla introduced Add-On support on their mobile Browser. I guess extensions support for Chrome Mobile is not coming in the near future, but who knows.

    Adhell 3 on Android is non-Root and system-wide.

      looked promising but seems to be suitable for samsung android devices only.

    Try Blokada, it is even open source. Like pi-hole for android

      just like adclear, it creates a vpn tunnel and had a massive performance impact and also stopped forwarding packets sometimes. Adaway was great, but that required root of course
