When you click on the expand, you can see which filters cause a block or allow. When there is no filter the more info columns is grey, when only 1 allow or block it is cyaan en orange when multiple allow or block rules apply.

Now I miss the indication about the risk of site breakage.

Yes, but ...

When you use worry-free and enabled the additional blocklists, all the low-risk trackers are already filtered out.
Try it out for a while and when you really miss it, I will add it again.

Aha, that wasn't clear to me. So the low-risk trackers are blocked and should show up in the 'Blocked' panel? And it will be tricky to block the requests in the 'Allowed' panel?

Edited: When all filterlists were disabled, on some news sites (f.i. ad.nl) still a blocked item was visible: visualwebsiteoptimizer.nl. Description: Blocked - bundled filter list.

Will the option to export/import uBlock Stripped's configuration be available in case of reinstallation or installation on a new PC, or is it a feature that is not considered worthwhile?

 

[LinuxFan58]

I have noted it (now you have to save ABP, Allow list and Custom rules). Thanks for the suggestion @YuanJiawj

 

[Jan Willy]

And an option to restore default settings?

 

[LinuxFan58]

Okay two requirements noted.
1. Export/import of all settings
2. Restore default settings

Version 9.3.6 is available on the Chrome Web Store

Changelog

I usually hit my weekly limit with my Claude.AI license at Sunday, so I can´t work on the two suggestions until Tuesday evening.

But the good news is tha V9.3.6 is available in the Chrome Web Store

I just noticed something when I went to this site...

Every time I go to the site in the picture, the page goes black and shows that pop-up after a certain amount of seconds. No matter what I did, it would not go away... well, except when I clicked on either of the buttons ofcourse.

 

[LinuxFan58]

Thanks for reporting. I have a look at it.

 

[LinuxFan58]

@Morro I can´t reproduce it.

Found a minor mismatch in security rating of fingerprint signals (Privacy Inspector and Manage Custom Rules), corrected that in 9.3.7

OK, thank you very much.

Thanks had missed this. I will finish AdShield Extra first (I made it generic, should work with any adblocker, so people can use it along side AG Mv3 or UBO-lite or Brave's or Vivaldi adblocker), then implement AdShield security protection improvements in uBlock Stripped also. AdShield is not yet published on Chrome webstore, so it has minimal impact when something is not working yet.

Pushed version 9.40 to the Chrome Westore

Changes
- brought back known tracker indicator (in DuckDuckGo tracker database) in Dynamic DNR filtering again (on request of @Jan Willy )
- added a lot of protections in Security & Privacy section (now also Sandboc Content Policies are added to Worry -free safe surfing).

When you read carefully the download is mentioned twice:
- on first-party domains outside the safe regions
- on third-party links to domains outside safe regions

When worry-free safe browsing is enabled including safe regions option, you still can access 80 to 9-% of the websites in the world (even outside 5eyes and EU+), but the attack surface is reduced by half, but the risk factor by 80% (because malware is hosted relatively more outside 5eyes and EU+) Also the risky connections (blocks punycode, IP addresses only, DDNS-servers and opening non-standard ports) also takes a big byte out of the remaining 80% IMO.

I forgot to post about Privacy Inspector user interface enhancements

Privacy Inspector now has 3 buttons, block only low risk (green), medium risk (orange) or all (including high risk = red) fingerprints

Dynamic DNR filtering again with known tracker indicator
Dynamic filtering matrix also got an UI improvement, when you click on the expand it shows which filters actibe (grey = none, cyaan = 1, orange = several)

This is crazy, UBS published within 15 minutes after uploading (the time it took to write above post)

Forgot to mention, when you move over with you mouse an explanation is shown of the protection rule

Yes there are several ways, to delete rules,
(Press on the small X which you see after the date the rule is created to delete them 1 by 1 or use the search and delete matching)
