Firefox says it will keep supporting uBlock Origin even as Microsoft Edge and other Chromium browsers phase it out under Manifest V3.

Pihole. Doesn’t solve everything, but I’m currently blocking ads from just over a half million domains.

Got a good tutorial or hardware rec for me? I've been meaning to pihole for a while.....

[–] muhyb@programming.dev 3 points 6 days ago

As for tutorial I think Pi-hole's own documentation suffice though if you mean starting from server installation, that's another thing. Definitely not hard but it would be nice if you know Linux to be comfortable in terminal.

As for hardware, this netbook is basically my home server including Pi-hole: https://www.productindetail.com/pn/samsung-n150-plus

Is there something analogous that can be run with bind?

[–] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

At this point if you're not already using a DNS filter of some sort, I have no idea how you survive. I use opnsense with zenarmor for ad blocking and it works really well. Had this going for a long time so no need to try pihole yet. I also use uBlock on my browsers for YouTube and the like. And greyjay on my phone. And I use automation on my phone (if not my WiFi, engage wireguard). I don't know how I'd stay sane without it all.

uBlock Origin on Firefox works fine.

[–] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 days ago

It does. But those devices you can't control or just need some catchall, a global filter is convenient.

There was also a time you couldn't use Firefox, and by extension uBlock, on iPhone.
