Some context:

> This is a community managed page, created by Uros Gazvoda to help spread uBlock Origin

First I've seen of this landing page, and it's a well deserved page too since I love uBo. The more we can promote this tool the better.

But its the case that once Manifest v2 is sunsetted in Chromium only Firefox will actually support uBlock Origin's feature set as is, correct? IIRC the sunset is Q1 2022. Also IIRC Brave plans on continuing to support Manifest v2 and the MacOS webkit-based browser in beta, Orion, will somehow continue to support uBlock Origin as well.

This software is wonderful. I often forget it's there until I use a browser without the plugin installed.

I just wanted to appreciate the wording of the title. there is just soo much content out there that isn't exactly an ad but is still incredibly annoying. If anything, to me ublock is an 'annoyance blocker'. It is deplorable how much cruft is pushed to the reader in the guise of content. I am glad ublock exists. If it doesn't serve the user, it goes!

The internet feels like cable TV without this plugin. Cut the cord!

uBlock Origin is simply wonderful. I recommend everyone try it out if they can.

Been using for years and could never go back to vanilla Firefox. This plus Blockada for Android keeps me under my data caps each month!

Thanks for sharing Blockada! I have PiHole on home network but this is perfect for everywhere else!

I use NextDNS, basically PiHole in SaaS. One less appliance to handle on my end

How is that? Seems like it could be a good alt DNS provider with Pihole as a primary, and NextDNS as a secondary

I use the blocklist feature directly in NextDNS on my account, which is basically what I'd do with PiHole anyway.
