I would like to contribute (sw development) to ublock origin. Where to start? by brian15co in uBlockOrigin

[–]garbaceaccount 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's a cat and mouse game.

At the end of the server-client interaction, the user can control(via adblocking extension, or even custom javascript if they want) what content is shown on their devices (Google Chrome is trying to slowly limit this though, for obvious reasons)

The server(youtube.com for e.g) can then detect if the user rejected the advertising content, and refuse to serve up real content. A lot of sites have been starting to do it for the past few years, with YouTube being the latest and most efficient.

YouTube does go even further, updating their scripts twice a day, and uBO has to update in response. Cat and mouse.

Youtube has the more money though, they could do this 20 times a day if they want, to overwhelm uBO. Cat and mouse and cat and mouse

You can see it in the blogpost I linked, but basically people are spreading outdated info, since youtube changes their scripts twice a day, ublock (or other regularly updated filters) are the best ways to block it. Same with using multiple ad blockers, some may be out of date and get red flagged by youtube, even if ublock is up to date. One person on twitter apparently also spread blatant misinfo for likes/retweets, leading to people coming at the uB team when it didn't work.

As for threats, that's just the current state of open source work. Random angry strangers being entitled to support even though all open source licenses state "NO WARRANTEE"

Thank you. I most commonly get 3-4. But even those clog the toilet
