[QUOTE="HarborFront, post: 742632, member: 55987"] Can uBlock Origin be replaced if used in the easy mode? I never like micro managing of websites unless I have 10 or less trusted sites to surf. Hence, uBlock Origin (in medium mode), uMatrix or NoScript is not my liking. I use uBlock Origin in easy mode and add filters/hosts. I also disabled Google Safe Browsing and Tracking Protection in FF Quantum. Won't be trusting MS/Google/FF to keep my privacy as far as their extension/Safe Browsing/Tracking Protection is concerned. As for DNS filtering unless there's one with features like either DNSCrypt/DNS-over-HTTPS/DNS-over TLS, supports DNSSEC, fast and keeps NO log otherwise I'll take one which supports the latter features and leave the filtering to other extensions. Now, I wonder what other extensions can be used together to replace uBO? I'll start off with the use of Malwarebytes extension which blocks - malicious sites - clickbait links - stops in-browser cryptojackers - ads and ad trackers - browser hijackers - browser lockers - phishing and online scams - PUPs, toolbars and pop ups What MalwareBytes cannot protect from are - analytics - social media widgets - ransomware which can be provided by filters/hosts to uBO Disconnect blocks - ads - analytics - social - content Any users like to contribute other effective extensions to replace uBO? Besides those mentioned what uBO Origin (in easy mode) have that these extensions together lack? [/QUOTE]
