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

Does inserting image (not thumbnail) has any use?

Yes it does, if you can resize an image to ~500 and below, depending on its total size, it makes it visually easier when viewing a thread, as far as not having to click on the thumbnail.

Why the effort; upload file will disaply the image as thumbnail.
So just remove the redundant inset image!

 

[Parkinsond]

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

Not asking about that; inquiry is regarding the redundancy of "insert image" as you prefer to insert small images as thumbnails!

I don't know, whatever the options are now, I'm okay with

Again, not the same...

Just uploading the image, by default... the thumbnails will appear below the post text, using Insert, You can place the image thumbnail inside the text post...

So why you instructing me inbox to use "insert as thumbnail" when I use "insert image", esepcially I can find most posts use "inset image" not "insert thumbnail"?

Just play around with it for awhile

Many users in forum still don't know how to use Insert Image, and then Insert Thumbnail, so most of them directly just do a simple Insert Image, but later don't convert the image (if it has a big size), to a thumbnail, using Insert Thumbnail...

I can imagine why; the upload button is misplaced away from the tools bar; a design issue need to be fixed.

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

This may be a common problem for those who only use filter lists (Easy Mode) and do not have DNS-level filtering when temporarily disabling adblock, which is quite common when users are in a hurry.

You are right; I have moved to ControlD hagezi tif (no ad or tracker protection; just malware and phishing).

It is a logical choice to entrust DNS-level filtering of malware/phishing.
It's a shame that you're having trouble with NextDNS (account) or AdGuard DNS (account).

I have not with NextDNS; only it does not provid hagezi tif, only hagezi ultimate or less.
AG is great, providing hagezi tif, ultimate, and dns rebinding protection list, but sometimes it faces latency issues.

HaGeZi Multi Ultimate, which I use, also partially uses HaGeZi TIF + there would be NextDNS TIFs (somewhat obscure, to be honest) and if you find too many FPs, I seem to remember, you can add the domain to the whitelist.

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).

@Sampei.Nihira's post says it all.

The dynamic filtering present in uBo cannot be replicated except at the level of static filters in uBoL + AG, which is less usable.

I seek the full hagezi tif, as I have ads and trackers already covered by uBO.

TIFs (somewhat obscure, to be honest) and if you find too many FPs

I had almost no FP by hagezi TIF; they fix FP issues quite fast.

@Sampei.Nihira's post says it all.

AG is more usable because of the log.
uBoL does not have a log, so it is very difficult to use browser development tools to overcome this inconvenience.
I can do it, but not without some problems.
I think few users have this ability.

Now I am using uBoL only with Enhanced Easy Mode dynamic filtering.
I must say that it is quite manageable.
