Serious Discussion Privacy vs. Profit: The Impact of Google’s Manifest Version 3 (MV3) Update on Ad Blocker Effectiveness (Research Article)

[Sampei.Nihira]

It is not a test; anyone can post a test on internet without being reviewed.
It is a research article, to be published need to be peer-reviewed.

Yes, I know.
I read it almost a year ago here:

Scientific papers

My comment stands.
This “scientific research” referring to 2024 is not very indicative today.

uBol has the best cosmetic rule builder at the moment.


@oldschool

AdGuard Mv3 offers (near) similar functionality as uBO Mv2 advanced mode when you restrict on TLD level only using two rules (two promotors on MT are @TairikuOkami and @Sampei.Nihira of this approach (Tariku using DNS and Sampei using browser extension).

The example below allows some general TLD's and the country codes from 5 Eyes Countries (as often posted by @Jan Willy)
! this shows a block page which you decide to ignore
||*$document,denyallow=com|edu|io|net|org|US|CA|UK|AU|NZ
! this ones blocks third-party scripts and subframes
||*$third-party,script,subdocument,denyallow=com|edu|io|net|org|US|CA|UK|AU|NZ

Whenever you encounter website breakage with AG's TLD block mode, you can use AG's logger to create an exception or simply add that website to the allow list.

Cosmetic rules are not the issue; uBOL provides the same output, even Vivaldi adblocker do (except for very few websites).
The real challenge is YT rapidly evolving adblocker evasion tactics; uBOL get the remedy later than uBO; Vivaldi adblocker get the remedy the latest, sometimes it does not get it at all.

Turned uBO off on a single website for one second, just one second, got this

Yes, I can see it's a thumbnail; which button to click to make photo turn into a thumbnail?

 

[harlan4096]

See my previous pic: You have 2 options, Thumbnail or Full Image, guess...

 

[Jonny Quest]

When you click Upload File, it will show Insert, click on that and it will show you the options @harlan4096 posted.

I do not

 

[harlan4096]

Once the pic it is copy/pasted or attached, below, in the editing form, You see the pic, there follow my steps...

 

[Jonny Quest]

You have to choose, at least I do, the option below the reply box, Upload Files.

 

[Parkinsond]

When you click Upload File, it will show Insert, click on that and it will show you the options @harlan4096 posted.

I have no URL to insert; the photo is on my drive

 

[harlan4096]

You have to be in editing mode...

 

[Parkinsond]

Okay; I have got.
Thank you @Jonny Quest

This one does not show the button to use.
That by @Jonny Quest does.

 

[harlan4096]

But not exactly... that way the thumbnail appears below, following my steps, you can inset the thumbnail pic where you want...

So why not removing the option to insert image, considering uploading thumbnail will do the job?

Does inserting image (not thumbnail) has any use?

 

[harlan4096]

0.- Edit the post.
1.- Copy/paste or attach the pic.
2.- Once the pic is attached, go below and hover the mouse over the pic...
3.- Click on Insert -> Select Thumbnail.

Yes, Insert -> Thumbnail will insert the pic in the place You want (the cursor is in that moment).
