Download Extension Ublock Origin

Quickly gaining traction throughout the entire ad-blocking industry, the uBlock Origin Firefox version collected over 5 million active users, with its Chrome extension subsequently compiling over 10 million active users. Developer Nik Rolls then officially released uBlock Origin for the Microsoft Edge browser in December 2016.

As you can see here, all other extensions show up either in the toolbar directly (Privacy Badger) or in the extension drop-down menu/button. Those are the exact same extensions I use in all four of my other Firefox installations on Windows and Linux, so I'm pretty sure it's not an incompatability issue.

The only difference this time is that this is a portable Firefox installation via PortableApps.com, which is why there are two Firefox icons in the Windows taskbar. Still, since all the other extensions are working, I don't think that this is the issue. And yes, I've removed and reinstalled the extension several times.

Scroll to the uBlock Origin entry and set a shortcut for "Activate toolbar button". Using that shortcut toggles uBlock Origin's icon on/off in the toolbar's extension drop-down menu from where you can pin it directly to the toolbar if you want.

Because UBO already blocks ads, I am of the belief that you should only have one extension per purpose. eg. 1 ablocker, etc. Others may or may not agree. Plus I also believe that more extensions you have in your browser the more your attack surface increases.

As for attack surface, I'm not too worried about a blocking browser extension being leveraged in an attack, both because extensions are sandboxed within the browser (a security measure implemented in modern browsers), and because it wouldn't make much sense for attackers to target the kinds of extensions used by those who actually know the risks of online threats and ads and use such tools to enhance their safety/browsing. That would be like the bad guys trying to use your AV to infect you. Is it possible? Certainly, but not very likely. The bad guys typically target the largest groups/most commonly used applications so that they can infect as many as possible when the objective is extortion (i.e. ransomware, tech support scams etc.) or scamming money (phishing scams, bogus products etc.) in order to gain the most profits. On the other hand, targeted attackers going after high value targets (such as businesses, websites/servers, government and infrastructural targets etc.) would not target such a plugin/extension because such extensions are not often used in such environments and there are much easier ways into a system (remember, those extensions are sandboxed and the browser runs in a limited user mode with no admin privileges by default) to achieve full access/control over it. This is why we continue to hear about hacks and data breaches all the time, yet very rarely observe anything super nasty like backdoors and the like these days on most consumer devices (usually the worst thing I see is ransomware, which typically gets in through an exploit, typically from a malicious ad ironically enough (and the ad is likely to be blocked by one or more of the aforementioned extensions of course, rendering the exploit harmless to those who use such blocking tools) or malicious email attachment).

i use the "chrome" browser exclusively on my windows 10 computer and the extensions that i use with it are "adblock plus" and "scriptsafe," along with "malwarebytes browser guard." i also use the "disable html5 autoplay (reloaded)" and "easy webrtc block" extensions.

i have never tried using the "ublock-origin" extension. it was intended to be a substitute for "adblock plus" but "adblock plus" has always worked fine for me so i choose to stick with using it. they both use the same blocklists.

I used to use Adblock Plus myself for a long time. It's an excellent extension. I only switched to uBlock Origin due to Adblock Plus' new direction of catering to 'acceptable ads' (i.e. sponsored/paid ads that pay Adblock Plus to exclude them unless the user goes into the settings and opts out so that all ads are blocked; something most users would not know to do). Is it malicious? No, of course not; but it is shady. I much prefer Malwarebytes' far more aggressive stance on blocking, but of course you're using them in tandem so you reap the benefits of each just as I do.

Without the preset lists of filters, this extension is nothing. So if ever you really do want to contribute something, think about the people working hard to maintain the filter lists you are using, which were made available to use by all for free.

I think what is happening is ublock is blocking the html window that the 1p extension makes on the website. Or what might be happening is since your using the same website to draw your password saving thing, the website's own javascript might conflict and cause it not to draw properly, or some combo of the above. When I tried making a new account on 1password.community for example, the 1p window did properly pop up.

Is there a way for you to write your extension so the popup isn't put onto a website but a separate window, or overlay? Is there also a way to stop adblockers from blocking 1password items from the extension in case some rule list update has a bug like that in the future, but still have my adblocker be on in general?

Hey @mac232! 1Password can indeed run into issues with adblockers and anti-virus software. However, it depends on your set up. I myself have never had any issues with using uBlock origin and the 1Password extension in the same browser.

You may be right out having used uMatrix instead of uBlock Origin. I added the NoScript extension to Slimjet yesterday which resulted in almost every site being broken even with top level domains set as trusted. Lots of time spent trusting scripts to get sites to work.

I tried the Brave browser and found its built-in adblocker to be not good enough. It blocked ads, but many sites put up popups saying adblock detected and needed an extra click to view. Adding the extra filter lists I could find did not fix this, so I felt a full adblock extension was needed.

just be sure to be using the newest versions of uBlock Origin and Noscript and update those addons if necessary (in Chrome, MS Edge or other Chromium based web browsers, these addons/extensions are updated automatically with an active internet connection)

I will also contact the extension developer but wanted to let others know that adding trello.com to uBlock Origin Whitelist (open this link for extension settings or open by hand) will solve loading issues.

I'm trying to set up a GPO to install uBlock Origin onto every users Chrome browser on the RDS server. The extension will install, but is disabled by default. Is there a way to get the extension to be enabled by default?

uBlock Origin (/jublk/; "YOO-block"[5]) (previously uBlock and originally Block) is a free and open-source browser extension for content filtering, including ad blocking. The extension is available for Chrome, Chromium, Edge, Firefox, Opera, Pale Moon, as well as versions of Safari prior to 13.[6] uBlock Origin has received praise from technology websites and is reported to be much less memory-intensive than other extensions[7][8] with similar functionality.[9][10] uBlock Origin's stated purpose is to give users the means to enforce their own (content-filtering) choices.[11][12]

uBlock was initially named "Block" but the name was later changed to "uBlock" to avoid confusion as to how the Greek letter (Mu/Micro) in "Block" should be pronounced.[citation needed] Development started by forking from the codebase of HTTP Switchboard along with another blocking extension called uMatrix, designed for advanced users.[13] uBlock was developed by Raymond Hill to use community-maintained block lists,[14] while adding features and raising the code quality to release standards.[15] First released in June 2014 as a Chrome and Opera extension, in 2015 the extension became available in other browsers.[citation needed]

Since October 2017, uBlock Origin has been completely separated from Aljoudi's uBlock.[21] Aljoudi created ublock.org to host and promote uBlock and to request donations. In response, uBlock's founder Raymond Hill stated that "the donations sought by ublock.org are not benefiting any of those who contributed most to create uBlock Origin."[6] The development of uBlock stopped in August 2015 but there were sporadic updates from January 2017.[22]

In July 2018, ublock.org was acquired by AdBlock and resumed development.[23] From February 2019, uBlock began allowing users to participate in "acceptable ads",[24][25] a program run by Adblock Plus that allows some ads deemed "acceptable" and nonintrusive, and for which larger publishers pay a fee.[26]

uBlock Origin remains independent and does not allow ads for payment.[27] The project refuses donations and instead advises supporters to donate to maintainers of block lists.[6][28] Hill continued to work on the extension under the name uBlock Origin, abbreviated as uBO[29] and originally as uBlock0.[30]

uBlock Origin supports the majority of Adblock Plus's filter syntax. The popular filter lists EasyList and EasyPrivacy are enabled by default, along with the malware domain blocklist URLHaus. The extensions are capable of importing hosts files and a number of community-maintained lists are available at installation. Among the host files available, Peter Lowe's ad servers & tracking list and lists of malware domains are also enabled as default. Some additional features include dynamic filtering of scripts and iframes and a tool for webpage element hiding.[citation needed]

In November 2019, a uBlock Origin user reported a novel technique used by some sites to bypass third-party tracker blocking. These sites link to URLs that are sub-domains of the page's domain, but those sub-domains resolve to third-party hosts via a CNAME record. Since the initial URL contained a sub-domain of the current page, it was interpreted by browsers as a first-party request and so was allowed by the filtering rules in uBlock Origin (and in similar extensions). The uBlock Origin developer came up with a solution using a DNS API which is exclusive to Firefox 60+.[41] The new feature was implemented in uBlock Origin 1.25, released on February 19, 2020.[42] e24fc04721
