Consider the decentralized family of https://trom.tf/ apps, such as https://search.trom.tf/ as a replacement (that's the only one I use of their stuff so far... but may poke around more later).

... until they keep having to dismiss people and go, "... huh." This is a marathon we're playing. You certainly don't have to use it, but I think the philosophy makes sense, especially given how AdNauseam doesn't click on acceptable ads that don't track you.

Dang, I had no idea of Portmaster! I wish I talked to you years ago and will check these out, thanks, and I fully agree with your stance as well.

Ha, this is as hilarious as it is creative. Interesting find; got any more?

To be technical, you mean "scammers," who are far, far worse.

Hmm, I thought I saw a similar picker existing in AdNauseam, but I may be wrong. I could definitely get on board with your approach; while Inspector can delete stuff, it doesn't remember them across page reloads or sessions, so this would be handy indeed!

Oh, what can it do that AdNauseam and NoScript can't?

Join me in leaving uBlock Origin for AdNauseam! I made a post about it that ended up gaining significant traction: https://midwest.social/post/25573927

omg, I'm using NoScript now and my eyes have been opened; I can't ever go back!! Thanks for the analogy; that was a much-needed, jolting wake-up call.

I was reacting to its GitHub:

This project is NOT currently being maintained. Code is made available for developers to fork. This is the FireFox version of the project, for Chrome see https://github.com/vtoubiana/TrackMeNot-Chrome.

So I'm wondering which active fork is best to go off of for Firefox. I could've been clearer; my bad.

Oops, right. For Firefox, though, it's tethered to Mozilla accounts for sync, right?

I'm also hoping to find a way to reach and use a whitelist more easily, although I suppose it's mostly one-time activation.

But I think I'm gonna go the NoScript route that someone else mentioned here, since that lets you selectively enable some JS while disabling others on the same website.

Thanks for the reminder about PeerTube... I've gotta look into that, too.

 

It garbles advertisers' data as a result, but you must disable uBlock Origin to run it; they can't work simultaneously. I recently moved to it and, so far, am never looking back!
