Intel has removed support for S3 sleep from their platform, so every laptop with 11th+ generation Intel is plagued with this issue. Dell even put out an advisory that a sleeping laptop is not safe to store in a backpack anymore! AMD still s

Thanks for the feedback! The site currently allows you to create one personal list that you can sync across all browsers, but I have plans to allow creating several lists and sharing some of them publicly The main complexity will actually b

Shameless plug for the Let's Block It project: we have a filter template to selectively remove domains from search results: https://letsblock.it/filters/search-results For the Stackoverflow / Github clones, w

Firefox has required a browser restart after an update is installed for years. It manifests as an inability to open new tabs, with a prompt to restart. This is a safety mechanism implemented to avoid strange bugs that could happen when mixi

I am currently moving from fontawesome to bootstrap-icons, as it is slowly but surely catching up and fully MIT licensed. For comparison: - Fontawesome 5.15: 1608 free icons (out of 7864 total) - Fontawesome 6.0: 1748 free icons (out of 148

Hello! The best way for this would be to open a "Filter update" issue in the github repo: https://github.com/xvello/letsblockit/issues/new/choose . I'll make sure to add a link from the vie

Agreed! I decided to launch without it due to limited time, but will keep that in the top priorities. Contributions are welcome if some users have time to contribute screenshots!

That's the kind of filters I started this project for! I would not accept this template in the project though, as I am not willing to endorse usage of Facebook/Meta's websites. This is listed in the project limitations in h

Very good question! You are indeed free to copy the rendered filters to your uBlock settings (there is even a button for this). I see two reasons for using the account feature: - I would never sync the same Firefox profile on my personal an

Thanks for your feedback. As this is just a humble weekend project, I had to cut in scope in order to move forward. This is why the project has no back-office and relies on Github for content contribution. I made this choice because the uBl

Thanks for your feedback, and your filter suggestion! The first iteration of this project was a CLI that took a yaml file (simple map of filter name -> params) and rendered the filter list to stdout. I ran that binary in a netlify pipeli

Thanks for the feedback! Adding another search engine to the search-results filter is pretty easy. For reference, the (handlebars) template for it is available at https://github.com/xvello/letsblockit/blob/mai
