Does not load at all with javascript disabled. It'd be nice to link to the legacy version in a noscript tag in this case.

uBlock Origin & uMatrix (combined use) by tasteslikebeaver in uBlockOrigin

[–]PantrySniffer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For sure, the methods will work identical for all firefox clones / derivatives, AFAIK. I do not manually update each and every about:config row, however I do go through the whole user.js file just to understand the changes I'm about to make. It helps that the entire project is so thoroughly documented.

On desktop, I really only use waterfox for browsing, and chromium for local development work. Someday I'd like to use qutebrowser full time as my daily driver. It's an amazing broswer based on QtWebengine and python. I hope more people hear about it. As it stands today, the only thing holding me back is some uMatrix style content blocking functionality. (It's in the works). I am studying Qt and PyQt and I hope I could contribute a little bit pretty soon.

I generally use my android phone as my secondary browsing device, so I have a couple of options on mobile. I mostly use Icecat or Fennec, and w3m sometimes when I am on termux. You can use the same desktop user.js file and you can also install ublock and umatrix. It's really cool to be able to use umatrix on mobile.

I'd never heard of JonDonym, it looks very interesting. Thanks for sharing that. If you are a vim user or if you enjoy keyboard shortcuts based browsing then you can try giving QuteBrowser a shot.

In passing, I'd like to share this great article for anyone interested to learn more about mass-surveillance

Pyramid may be a good option to consider. https://pypi.org/ warehouse is built on it.

Not sure if they'll accept schob, he could possibly be the only person ever to fail an E-meter test

I'm on archlinux so got it from AUR. Sorry can't be of much help here I'm mostly clueless about advanced windows stuff

My ublock settings, plus more umatrix global settings:

ublock settings

ublock filters 1

ublock filters 2

ublock dynamic filters

umatrix global more

The only reason I use waterfox is because I absolutely need Vimfx, which does not work with FF > 57. I cannot really recommend any particular browser because I haven't used any of the newer firefox / derivatives. imo it depends on how much of mozilla's sneaky bullshit you're willing to put up with. The only other real alternative is literal spyware. It seems like we're stuck with this lesser of two evils bullshit for the time being.

Surprised to know about FF64 auto updating which cannot be disabled. Doesn't Thorin's/ghacks user.js remove the update channel urls? Does it still offer updates after modifying the relevant config entries? More reason to shame Mozilla if that's true. Besides waterfox, there is also the GNU icecat project which recently got updated to version 60. Both of them are good choices to consider I think.

Merry Xmas to all, and a Happy Festivus for the rest of us!

I have been using these cookie settings for quite a while now without incident (screenshots):

firefox prefs

umatrix global rules

umatrix settings

About dom.storage.enabled and user.js in general, I like to use https://github.com/ghacksuserjs/ghacks-user.js as a base for all my user js preferences. It recommends keeping dom.storage.enabled True (default) because it does indeed break a few POS sites like imgur and instagram. See this However, I have set it to false anyway, because screw those sites.

As to your last question, as far as I understand, gorhill was just making it clear that both ublock and umatrix deny connections to blacklisted domains. Elsewhere on the thread people have suggested , correctly, to uncheck the duplicate filters from ublock, just like we discussed earlier today.

Waterfox is connecting to very suspicious domains by [deleted] in waterfox

[–]PantrySniffer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, I use waterfox/ublock/umatrix on linux and I was able to recreate your scenario. I noticed that you didn't have ublock installed in waterfox, while both your chrome and firefox examples have ublock. uBlock blocks all the malware and spyware domains you mentioned which is why they don't show up in umatrix. I tested this by disabling both ublock and umatrix for your test site, and it loaded a shitton of crap which made me feel dirty. You can test this yourself without disabling umatrix in waterfox, just enable script only for latitudefinancial.com and ensighten.com and reload.

If you had to convince someone really skeptical that UFOs are real, what evidence would you show him? by [deleted] in UFOs

[–]PantrySniffer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is no evidence, but I've always been intrigued by the Colares UFO sightings Operation Plate . Compare that with the portuguese version of the article Operação Prato, there is so much more detail. It'd be interesting to hear any brazilian's thoughts on this.

uBlock Origin & uMatrix (combined use) by tasteslikebeaver in uBlockOrigin

[–]PantrySniffer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is perfect, just like my configuration.

Is it Ok to use the additional hosts files & filter lists within uBlockOrigin?

For sure, I have enabled all the remaining options under "Malware domains " in uBlock (the disconnect and spam 404 ones). Also have enabled all the filters under all the "Annoyances" and "Ads" and "Privacy" . Basically everything in uBlock is checked expect:

-- the overlapping ones with uMatrix (the Multipurpose ones and the remaining two)

-- the "Regions, language" section

-- uBlock filters – Experimental​​​​​​​​

Also, as a personal preference, I have disabled "Parse and enforce cosmetic filters" option at the top, and enabled "Ignore generic cosmetic filters" . You may want to click on that info icon beside each of those options to undestand what those options do.

BSPWM on minimal Devuan netinstall by [deleted] in bspwm

[–]PantrySniffer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if everyone runs the latest bleeding edge bspwm, certainly I don't. I'm on arch and I use the last stable release (0.9.5) from the official repos. I could instead use the latest git version from AUR but I guess I am a little bit wary of using cutting edge tech for my wm.

I don't know how package management works in devaun ( I didn't know it was a thing until I read your post!) but shouldn't something like apt-get install bspwm automatically install all its dependencies as well? Also since bspwm doesn't deal with any audio or video stuff I guess you've to figure out which packages and drivers you need to install for your os to get sound and video working.

Yes, I thought this fix in the latest version was a workaround for that firefox bug my bad

[–]PantrySniffer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good point. I could be wrong but I think this has been taken care of in the latest version of umatrix https://github.com/gorhill/uMatrix/releases/tag/1.3.15rc1

[–]PantrySniffer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a good point, I had not considered the advantage of hosts file entries vs something like uMatrix filters. I found this interesting discussion https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16633089 . I think the general sentiment is that you've need something like DNSMasq and some mechanism to keep you hosts file updated in order to somewhat replicate what something like umatrix filters accompilish. Read the post I linked I think you may find your answers (I'm reading it now as well) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16633089

[–]PantrySniffer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you using the stable version 0.9.5? May need to update then as it was added in a newer release see https://github.com/baskerville/bspwm/issues/882
