[QUOTE="Windows_Security, post: 813140, member: 50782"] [B]CROSS OVER OF EASY MODE AND MEDIUM MODE OF UBLOCK[/B] This uBlock0 tweak combines uBlock's EASY mode (blocking third-party farmes) with the idea used by many members to use Chrome's internal script site permissions to only allow scripts on some Top Level Domains. [B]BENEFITS: IS EASIER THAN EASY MODE AND NEARLY AS SAFE AS MEDIUM MODE.[/B] This setting block all scripts from unsecure websites (Chrome's site permissions) and all third-party frames from unsecure (HTTP) websites (with static adblock filter in uBlock's My Filters). So on HTTP websites it is 100% AS SAFE ublock in MEDIUM mode in relation to third-party frames and SAFER in relation to scripts than uBlock's MEDIUM mode, because it blocks both FIRST and THIRD-party scripts on unsecure websites :emoji_clap:. Just have a look at VX-VAULT ([URL='http://vxvault.net/URL_List.php']link[/URL]), Malcode ([URL='http://malc0de.com/database/']link[/URL]) or Malware Domains ([URL='https://www.malwaredomainlist.com/mdl.php']link[/URL]) to check for yourself that most (95%) malware comes from (unsecure) HTTP websites. Only on a few explicitly specified HTTPS Top Level Domains scripts and frames are allowed to execute. So in real world practice this setting is 95% AS SAFE as uBlock's MEDIUM mode on HTTPS websites. :emoji_innocent: It is also EASIER to maintain than uBlock's EASY mode. Because it causes less website breakage (excludes the third-party frames to be blocked on the HTTPS Top Level Domains you normally visit) and provides a visual feedback when something is blocked ( explained at bottem of post) :cool:.
