uBlock Lite has been removed from the Firefox store. So no further updates unfortunately.

Ghostery also lacks recent updates, thats why on my Manjaro i completely removed Firefox and Switched to Opera together with Chrome.

Well last update was 2 months ago. Not too bad. I just never liked the Chromium based browsers. I started browsing the internet with Firefox and I will end browsing the internet with Firefox.

I mean it's up to everybody to decide which browser to use, but in the end I would still say that Mozilla's way of thinking is much better compared to tech giants and data grabbers like Google or Opera. I mean I am using a Pixel phone, but as long as I enjoy using FIrefox, I will not change a thing.

Why not keep using uBlock Origin with Firefox?

uBO works best on Firefox and is available for desktop and Android versions.

Why not keep using uBlock Origin with Firefox?

I just can't motivate to add rules and play around with uBlock Origin which is the main purpose of it. I just want to keep it basic.

Just use easy mode and stop doing anything else with it:

Blocking mode: easy mode

You can use it even if it is removed from the Firefox store:

Firefox: Click uBOLite_2024.9.22.986.firefox.signed.mv3.xpi
This is a self-hosted version as uBO Lite is no longer available on AMO, see #197. The extension will auto-update when a new version is published.

Make sure to update the firmware. There was a nasty malware spreading through AiCloud even if you didn’t have it turned on.

It is patched now.

thanks for this post I wasn't aware that Osprey was available for firefox but it was in mozilla add-ons and now installed but no icon to pin to toolbar??

It just became available recently.

After installing you need to click on extension button, click cog wheel button on right side of extension you want to pin and select pin to toolbar. You can also rearrange extensions by right clicking on toolbar and select customize toolbar and then drag extensions/buttons on toolbar to wherever you like.

It is much easier to customize toolbar on Edge/Chrome than Firefox. Granted Firefox has much more customization options available.

Spoiler

Edit: Typo
