You can freely name extension names here. uBlock Origin permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 5 child comments replies: [–] BertramDitore@lemmy.zip -4 points 1 year ago (4 children) Oh I know, I’ve been here for years despite the age of my account. I just migrated from lemm.ee I tend not to like to name these types of extensions because more exposure puts them at risk, and they’re super easy to find anyway. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] swizzlestick@lemmy.zip 45 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 child) It's better to name known safe options rather than leave it up to user search. The entities that work against extensions like uBO are already well aware of their existence, so hiding their names has no benefit. Case in point - uBlock and uBlock Origin are not the same, with the former being a bastardised version that does 'acceptable ads'. There are plenty of other poor blocking options out there for the unsuspecting to stumble into besides that. Personal setup is Librewolf/uBO on the client and pfBlockerNG/Snort for network level blocking/additional security layer. And welcome to .zip :) Hope you enjoy the new home! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] BertramDitore@lemmy.zip 1 point 1 year ago Thanks! permalink fedilink source parent [–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago* exposure puts them at risk they're super easy to find that one meme with the dude surrounded by question marks E: or that one of Trump and another dude in chairs talking about a piece of paper permalink fedilink source parent [–] asudox@lemmy.asudox.dev 9 points 1 year ago uBlock is already pretty much known as the best adblocker in the internet.
