Once I've opened it the first time, I then apply the block updates approach and double check Tools > Options that "Your browser is being managed by your organization" is displayed-updating is blocked-and THEN I allow the system to get back online. Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed. A summary of the changes between this version and the previous one is attached. I've gotten into the habit of removing internet access from whichever system I'm adding the new FF browser so that it can't get updates when I open the new FF the first time to establish the appropriate Data folder files (the profile folder, etc.). Source: ublock-origin Source-Version: 1.19.0+dfsg-1 We believe that the bug you reported is fixed in the latest version of ublock-origin, which is due to be installed in the Debian FTP archive.

BEFORE I install the new version, I manually make a fresh copy of my portables to my external drive-usually every few months, I deleted the copy on my external drive and make a fresh copy from my system drive-and that way, if something gets mucked up, I can easily delete the mucked up version and manually copy from the external drive to restore things.Ģ.

I don't know if this block updates approach works with FF's new cycle-I think FF93 is the first of this new cycle.Īfter getting burned with an update virtually immediately after installing (and opening the 1st time), there are a couple of things I've learned to do before I install any new version (new to me, not necessarily current a FF version) of FF:ġ.

With one exception, all of my FF versions are portables and for the quantum versions, I applied the block updates approach and it's worked so far for me as nothing has updated behind my back-I thought I'd passed that block updates info on to you, if not, let me know and I'll send you the PDF with the steps. That is just crap! Do you have any backups of your earlier browsers? Not very good for ad effectiveness (to be fair it isn't really relevant to me) but if I'm allowing ads exactly what I want it to be.>Looks like FF ESR 91 an 93 have invaded all my saved older versions of FF ESR and updated them without my knowledge or consent. There are more than 50 alternatives to uBlock Origin for a variety of platforms, including Google Chrome, Firefox, Mac, iPhone and iPad. I've honestly have never processed it (or other ads I am sure appear there) before. UPDATE: Heh, it is a day later, I am reading replies and just now realized there is a clearly labeled ad in the right sidebar.

I do use uBlock Origin on Firefox Mobile as AdBlock Plus isn't available. Even though I am opt-in to the program I never see ads or they are so non-intrusive they don't even register with me. Ironically uBlock would eventually be bought by AdBlock and is now uses the Acceptable Ads program.įor what it is worth I use AdBlock Plus even though uBlock Origin is perhaps technically superior as I feel the Acceptable Ads program is a good compromise between allowing a way for websites to make money with advertising and me not being driven crazy by ads and/or my system being compromised by third-party ads. Also the same would apply to Edge extensions. This log can be seen using the logger function and also all extensions are signed by Mozilla if you are using firefox for example before being allowed in the extension store. Raymond Hill, the creator of uBlock would separate from uBlock but continue developing the original codebase as uBlock Origin which would go on to become the more popular add-on, particularly among those fleeing AdBlock Plus and the Acceptable Ads program. Ublock origin is a ad blocker and thus it will log the sites you visit and the adverts on that site. it would later be forked by its original creator into uBlock Origin (for reasons I am unsure of and don't feel like figuring out -something to do with asking for and accepting donations I think).
Despite being completely optional (albeit as an opt-out option) all the media and purists cared about was they were allowing ads and charging for it which pretty much caused AdBlock Plus to fall out of favor.Īround the same time uBlock came on the scene and gained popularity for being less memory-intensive. There is nothing technically wrong with AdBlock Plus (which is not the same as AdBlock, which is actually inspired by AdBlock Plus, which was inspired by the original Adblock extension after it has ceased development - open source projects have some odd forks).ĪdBlock Plus got themselves into controversy by creating the Acceptable Ads program that allows non-intrusive ads (as defined by them at the time although it is now defined by The Acceptable Ads Committee) to be displayed, on top of that they charged larger ad-networks (like Google) for inclusion in the program while smaller websites could participate for free.
