I haven’t finished watching it, but it has some very interesting data points on privacy and how your privacy is being exposed even when you think it isn’t.

      This performs worse in literally every category when compared to ubo. You can check their own white paper if you don’t believe me.

        What paper specifically are you referring to? I couldnt get the paper from the url that was provided, but I am reading the paper from 2017 linked on their github and this project forked ublock, adding additional features, which is pretty interesting actually. Such as detection of visual ads out of the blocked objects, with a series of checks to see if they are “legitimate ads”, then simulated clicks through ajax, with blocks on all response content, preserving security from any malware that may have been masquerading as a legit ad.

        Granted this is from 2017, but its a pretty interesting idea. https://github.com/dhowe/AdNauseam/wiki/Published-Papers

        The code itself was updated three weeks ago, so its clearly still being maintained at some level.

        Combine this with containerized user accounts, and seems like a pretty good idea to me.

        Useless observation. Adnauseam and uBlock serve two different purposes. A user should only run one of the two at once.

              They are so different they felt the need to compare themselves directly in their own white paper. You are an idiot.

              Its literally just a worse version of ubo with an extra snake oil feature.
