I mean did you try with Chrome and Ublock Original Lite? Because I have and there's literally no difference at all.
- culi 2mo agoIt's different under the hood. The crux of the difference is the webRequest API which is only available in Manifest v2. This allows uBlock to strip all tracking data from the requests themselves. So while Chrome w uBlock Lite is hiding almost all the same ads from you, it's not protecting you from tracking The Lite version also relies solely on filter lists that require you to update the extension itself while the MV2 version can do so dynamically. Additionally, it lacks CNAME Uncloaking which I imagine will become much more commonplace soon enough which will make it impossible to block those ads
- alt227 2mo agoThere is a lot of difference. Try watching Youtube with uBlock Lite for example.
- imglorp 2mo agoYes. I see no ads on youtube. Period. None. I tried a blank Firefox on YouTube the other day for a 20 minute video and it was packed with pre-roll ads and then a mid-roll ad every several minutes. Unwatchable.
- alt227 2mo ago> I tried a blank Firefox on YouTube Wouldnt this be the same experience on all 'blank' browsers? The whole point was install ublock origin extension and that all goes away. You make it sound like its Firefoxs fault that youtube is full of ads!
