It's great! I've been using it for years & it's saved me a lot of time just in 
configuration alone. I've started using Opera on Linux recently for a similar 
reason. Could someone please remind me what the terms are for bundling a plugin 
with Icecat? I've seen lots of them get rejected for one reason or another over 
the years & now I've forgotten the specific criteria.

What is wrong with uBlock Origin? It seems to work a lot better than the old 
Adblock Edge which was similar to Spyblock, plus it covers additional stuff

Re: [Bug-gnuzilla] Build Spyblock from uBlock Origin

[awakeyet]

"µblock origin is really a good extension I personally use it icecat.
We could go further with umatrix but people are too much disturbed by it."

ublock and umatrix as well as other similarly named addons were (and continue 
to be) heavily shilled by an unknown group of people that seem to desperately 
want those addons installed on every single browser everywhere. the fact that 
they are pushing those so incredibly hard makes me instantly reject them 
forever. if GNU icecat ever gets ublock or umatrix, I will personally abandon 
GNU icecat because I will no longer trust it. spyblock is great, does one job, 
and does it good.

Re: [Bug-gnuzilla] Build Spyblock from uBlock Origin

[awakeyet]

I might agree only if these addons are extremely easy to add for a "normie" 
user back into GNU icecat as they choose.
1. normie downloads GNU icecat
2. normie clicks and downloads GNU icecat addons with a single click from the 
GNU icecat website
3. everyone is happy and nobody gets what they do not want.
we shouldn't be forcing anyone to have or not have something.

Re: [Bug-gnuzilla] Build Spyblock from uBlock Origin

[awakeyet]

spyblock is an excellent addon. why in the world should we waste our effort 
adding a heavily shilled addon when we could focus our efforts 
to improve GNU icecat, and then make possible improvements (not that any are 
needed) to spyblock later? spyblock has never ever given me a single problem or 
failed me in any way. as simple as it is, it has done it's job just fine 
without lagging my potato of a computer.

Re: [Bug-gnuzilla] Build Spyblock from uBlock Origin

WARNING! ublock and other similary named addons have been shilled by 
(disinformation agents) on the internet like crazy in the past two years. it is 
not known why these "shills" want this but I will say this one thing.

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH SPYBLOCK. that is why they want to kill 
it, just like they killed every single other alternative addon to adblock plus. 
there are no non-AAA mainstream options left for anyone at this point besides 
spyblock. spyblock is an excellent addon that does it's job and needs no 
changes. don't fall for this people. GNU icecat is the last bastion of freedom 
and privacy in any browser available while still being capable of viewing the 
internet efficiently. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS. trust your instincts.

I see "ublock origin" has a built-in rule available for "no-remote-fonts".
Does anybody know how to add a simple rule for "no remote anything"?

Thanks.

Re: [Bug-gnuzilla] Build Spyblock from uBlock Origin

[mdn]

Icecat is already limited by the number of volunteers, I would like to
volunteer but my capacities are I think to limited to help on a
technical level for now (if someone has spare time to teach me I have no
problem with learning).
Reusing software that works especially if they are under GPL is I think
not a problem.

Users have always the freedom to deactivate them and put something else,
contrarily to the "eme" and other bad software that mozilla integrated.

µblock origin is really a good extension I personally use it icecat.
We could go further with umatrix but people are too much disturbed by it.

A functionality that would be interesting is when icecat opens for the
first time, a new window could propose to activate the addons in the
browser with a small explication of what it does.

Re: [Bug-gnuzilla] Build Spyblock from uBlock Origin

[Ivan Zaigralin]

Please do not take this as anything but constructive criticism. I fully 
understand how limited the
resources are, and I firmly believe that even in the present state icecat & 
most of the bundled
features are incredibly useful and effective. I am merely trying to point out 
some directions for
future development, once the resources are plentiful :)

I believe icecat should do something more drastic than simply switch the 
adblocker. Something
needs to change in the way features are added. It was a technical mistake to 
put core
functionality into an existing adblocker, just as it is far from ideal to 
bundle https everywhere.
This practice robs users of their freedom to choose addons, and it breaks 
icecat when it is
repackaged for inclusion into a distribution (maintainers have to choose 
between locking users
into a specific addon combination, or stripping addons, with both options 
clearly bad).

One cromulent way to include functionality is by producing own in-house addons, 
like LibreJS,
which minimize the interference with other addons by narrowing their function 
and keeping a
separate namespace.

Instead of writing features into an adblocker or httpser, these features need 
to be decoupled, so
that users are free choose among dozens of functional equivalents, without

Re: [Bug-gnuzilla] Build Spyblock from uBlock Origin

[Daniel Quintiliani]

uBlock Origin a bit of a learning curve for Adblock Plus users but I do agree 
we should switch.

But, more importantly, get out an updated, secure IceCat release before making 
feature enhancements.

Adblock Plus began to distribute advertising (Acceptable Ads Platform 
) = Adblock Plus died. uBlock Origin 
is the only solution.

Adblock Plus is as usually the most popular add-on on 
addons.mozilla.org but have grow less popular over time, while uBlock 
Origin is currently the 6th most popular add-on on addons.mozilla.org 
and have grow more popular over time. uBlock Origin one of the fastest 
trending add-on I've seen.


uBO has dozens of features that's missing in ABP. For example uBO can 
block popunders that ABP cannot.

[Bug-gnuzilla] Build Spyblock from uBlock Origin

[David Hedlund]

I think it is time to build Spyblock from Adblock Plus (ABP) to uBlock 
Origin (uBO).


Adblock Plus is as usually the most popular add-on on addons.mozilla.org 
but have grow less popular over time, while uBlock Origin is currently 
the 6th most popular add-on on addons.mozilla.org and have grow more 
popular over time. uBlock Origin one of the fastest trending add-on I've 
seen.


uBO has dozens of features that's missing in ABP. For example uBO can 
block popunders that ABP cannot.
