These features can help to improve the security and privacy of your browsing experience. In addition to blocking ads and trackers, it also has a number of advanced features, such as the ability to block JavaScript, prevent cross-site scripting attacks, and block remote fonts. This can make the website easier to navigate and improve the overall browsing experience. This is to remove elements of a website's layout that are associated with ads, such as banners and pop-ups.
The app also uses a technique called " cosmetic filtering." The rules can be customized by the user to block specific types of content. The filter lists contain information about known ad servers, tracking domains, and other undesirable content. Honestly, I didn't know it bothered you so much, so I apologize for this.When a user visits a website, the uBlock Origin app checks the website against the filter lists and rules to determine which content to block. Normally though rules are super-wide, they shouldn't cause users having problems with uBlock Origin. Most of the rules are not really useful actually, they are just very defensive, uBlock Origin is cool and we both benefit from it (you gain more users, and we do so), so don't be worried to ask if some rules are affecting you or your users, then we can fine-tune / remove or improve them. Still I agree, the best compromise could be exact matches or matching root domain without TLD and I hear you. You can find other things, divs named "push" are mostly whitelisted (for the story, "push" is used as an adblocker-bait by many websites among other things, so here, Kiwi uses that mechanism to defuse the anti-adblock and actually defend uBlock Origin !). It would be good to have a full-time person to maintain the content filtering itself, so that's why it's delegated to extensions. True, it's not pretty nor ideal, but it does the job. Some are intendedly wide ("if a website is somehow named Facebook, then it can open popups"), but when you think about it, it does its job, and for a very low maintenance time. There are tons of such guesses in Kiwi, notably to block popups. See it as an heuristic "this looks okayish", not an absolute source of truth.
This code just says "ok, there is a doubt, this *may* be a legitimate request, so let it go through just in case of doubt" Somehow in general it's better to let an ad appear than block legitimate content.īecause once the content is non-visible or the window has been blocked, it's very challenging to get the content back without interaction of a developer, whereas if a content is displayed, you can still use the pickup tool and remove the item manually (or close the window). Yep, will change that to parse the root domain at some point.
