Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but ublock breaks almost nothing because it just allows trackers on pages where blocking it would break something.

So if blocking a doubleclick tracker will stop a video from playing on some page/site, an exception will get added to the block list to just allow it on that page/site.

It makes it 'just work', but imo it's not clear enough in the UI that this is happening and I would guess that most users don't even know.

Pihole is great for stopping stuff that’s not in the browser in particular. OS telemetry, in-app ads, phishing sites, etc. In pronciple I suppose it can block cryptoviruses, but it’s probably hard to keep a good blocklist up to date.

Umatrix is deprecated now. I currently use NoScript and it sort of fills the same role.

I used noscript before umatrix. Umatrix is def technically superior in my eyes. Also noscript has some pretty shady sht in its history. Exactly what I don’t need from a privacy extension

Don't disagree there.

> Also noscript has some pretty shady sht in its history.

I haven't heard anything about that. Could I get some more info? I use NoScript pretty much everywhere and would like to know if I need to stop.

e.g. Got caught manipulating other extensions to whitelist his own site

Thanks, I appreciate it.
