Since 3/30/2019, EasyList (a continuously curated list of ad distributors that is used as a kind of target list by all major ad-blocking extensions) has put 4cdn.org on their list. This causes the catalog and various other functions of the site not to work properly anymore. To the oblivious, Jow Forums (Jow Forums included) just "stopped working".
Why this is important: >This is an attempt to censor Jow Forums. This comes exactly after the NZ mosque stuff and after NZ ISPs started to block chans. >EasyList has apparently been infiltrated by anti-racism activists. Their forums are heavily moderated and censored (pic related). >EasyList is so backend that there are no large community-centered platforms other than their little forum. Yet, it is used in so many services that it effectively becomes a powerful tool for any censor. EasyList was therefore a perfect and easy target for being undermined by left-wing political activism. >Make no mistake, this IS politically motivated!
What can we do? >Go to their forum and report Jow Forums as 'incorrectly removed content'. - forums.lanik.us/viewforum.php?f=64 >Use red*it to post on Jow Forumsublockorigin, Jow Forumsfirefox, Jow Forumschrome and create threads decrying EasyList. This should indirectly put pressure on them and spread knowledge about their activist scheming to a wider user base.
Is that why I have fucking long captcha that doesn't work 75% of times since today?

If not already, switch to uBlock Origin and do what user says here: Also spam red*it to let other people know. I can only wonder about how many anons want to post and cannot.
Went to check AdBlocker for the EasyList, they also have a ChinaEasyList and a Hebrew EasyList bot set to on automatically. Program deleted.

I use Chrome. Adblock is disabled by default because I browse Jow Forums in incognito mode and Chrome disables extensions in that mode. Is it safe to enable the extensions?
Camden Gomez
I have an issue though with recaptcha slow as fuck. Only turning off ublock resolves this.
Brody Stewart
>incognito mode
why lol?
Bentley Powell
it worked, thx user
Jeremiah Wood
Thanks, bro!

Post got 404'ed because I had a question about Jow Forums X? Is third party restricted?
Luke Torres
> Is it safe to enable the extensions?
Yes, you can enable. Incognito doesn't mean that you are anonymous or hidden from the web. It just doesn't save cookies, cache and your history.
Eli Morris
Use this instead so the scripts won't get blocked again when the version numbers change
Using incognito mode for Jow Forums? why? If you fear political reprisal or Jow Forums is illegal in your country (New Zealand, etc.), then incognito mode is absolutely useless.
If you want to be safe from such things, you need to use a VPN at least. Also, you definitely should use extensions that enhance your privacy. Check privacytools.io/#addons for more details.
Benjamin Taylor
Incognito so nothing gets stored in the cache, and no browsing history either. Either way can you suggest a decent free VPN?
No I don't because there is no such thing as privacy when using free vpn. If you don't pay for the product, you are the product. Just pay for a decent vpn, they are not that expensive.
Isaiah Smith
You should configure your browser so that it deletes cache and browsing history automatically when you exit.
As to free VPN: you can try ProtonVPN, which is a free Switzerland-based VPN service. However, it's kinda slow and only offers only a limited amount of GBs to be transferred daily. They also offer a paid subscription service, which is how they earn money.
So, buying a VPN subscription to a trustworthy provider really is one of the best investments you can make. Again, you can find a list of possible services on privacytools.io/#vpn
Asher Bell
Thanks doc
Ryan Cox
I checked all of of the lists on github, there are no blocks for 4cdn on there, only a couple of whitelists.
Joseph Ramirez
better use this solution: otherwise that fix won't work more than a few days.
see It's uBlockOrigin that provided a fix. Not EasyList.
Blake James
>Jesus who gives shit about this fuck off Anyone who wants the site to function ?
Robert Nguyen
I spotted that yesterday when Jow Forums was broken and I looked at my add-ons just to see kikelist had added it to the filter. So I un-checked that filter. It'll sure be interesting to see how this continues on with some browsers backing ad-block into the browser and you end up with some mandatory poz filter.
Gavin Scott
Thanks, worked for me
Samuel Evans
Sounds like a pleb filter desu, use a better adblocker.
Carter Williams
Can someone tell me why ublock origin needs to store unlimited amount of client side data.
it's an open source project. So, you can always check the code if you are suspicious.
Evan Gomez
Won't this just keep normies and the media away?? Thank u EasyList
Dominic Clark
I've been going crazy trying to find out what was happening I've been using adblock forever since it always worked but give me a quick rundown on ublock Is it better?
Angel Kelly
I was about to give up on Jow Forums. How can I fix it using Opera on a desktop?
Shut the fuck up you fucking kike. You faggots are NOT going to fucking win this war you little liberal commie piece of fucking SHIT
You're fucking DEAD when the civil war comes you fucking traitor piece of fucking shit
Noah Smith
i just turned off adp on Jow Forums because it was fucking with the red boards
Keep ublock and no script on tho
Alexander Flores
what does this do?
Blake Kelly
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.
it disables the Jow Forums filter, well, it adds Jow Forums to the whitelist.
Aiden Torres
yes, my dude. uBlockOrigin is miles better. Open source and much lighter on resources.
Isaac Garcia
This worked for me, thank you!
Chase Ortiz
Thanks user Ive been sitting here watching the thread hoping for a reply
Gavin Price
What ad blocker are you using in Opera?
Aiden Wilson
Copypasta!
Thomas Turner
I disabled my adblocker on Jow Forums and everything works fine again. I use Firefox for browsing on my PC. Mobile was working fine all along. Using chrome and no adblocker there.
Still i'm pissed. This is obviously politically motivated. Someone should go to easylist and advise them to subscribe to pewdiepie
