Who the fuck is gorhill?

Why would a single guy put so much effort into a quality FOSS project and not be even interested in taking donations or revealing his identity? This guy is the most mythical developer to me after the founder of bitcoin

Probably someone who works for one of the big advertisers (Google, Facebook, etc)

he's an internet superhero. outside of his ublock origin development, he probably lives a normal redditor life, just like you and me

Whats his end game?

20 people work in this project
Until we go back to the good old days of plain HTML without javascript degeneracy using ublock origin is our only alternative if we want to stay online
Perhaps people should focus in developing a web browser that filters all that JS and CSS crap so we don't have to worry about installing any adblocker

You can use uMatrix if you want that.

Yeah and it makes me kinda curious. Ubo is great. What's gorhill after? Just some 'saving the world' bs?

gorhill is very autistic

his work is good technically but he lacks the ability to see things outside of his own autistic POV

ublock does 99% of what umatrix currently offers. But it breaks many websites. A browser that converts JS and CSS degeneracy to jpg on the fly would be a better idea. It would be a lot faster and the system would not execute dangerous scripts even if you wanted

Stupid question, he doesn't want lifethreats from rich companies.

How are you going to make login systems, cookies, interfaces, or anything useful using a crappy context-sensitive language?

>his work is good technically
Yeah, waiting about 2 seconds after the page loads for the cosmetic filters to take effect by hiding via CSS instead of actually removing the DOM is a technical masterpiece.

cookies and login works well. The thing is removing JS and CSS
PHP + HTML without JS and CSS = fix the web

>ublock does 99% of what umatrix currently offers.

They're completely different.

uMatrix lets you completely block certain types of content such as css, images, javascript, etc. and put in exceptions for websites if you want.

uBlock just blocks certain advertising content.

> A browser that converts JS and CSS degeneracy to jpg on the fly would be a better idea.

That doesn't make any sense.

lets see your dumbass do your "master plan" in practice and save us all with your >uIMBETTER plug in

ublock can also block css and javascript

WHY would I want PHP instead of CSS or just JS alone?
Better to use one of the most popular languages and be done with it.

>no donations
whoa, rly? not even crypto?

I think you can see exactly that with ABP, or at least could until webext as I didn't use that version yet.

He is the hero we did not deserve.

Eh, that's not quite correct.
It's more like uBlock blocks based on filter rules and domains while uMatrix blocks based on content type and domains.
But there's a lot of crossover that can be done, too.

why do you retard shit on css? braindead mongo

He's never written CSS or JS and is deathly afraid of them.

Can you even specify which domains and subdomains the css/js will be blocked on, per site as it is in uMatrix?

CSS can be used for fingerprinting. But other than that it's not terrible unless the website developer is terrible.
Nanochan is written entirely in css.

To a degree, but that is more uMatrixes field.
Neither incorporates the other exactly, but there is a lot of overlap.

what umatrix offers is an interface designed for constant switching. The correct settings for the internet are blacklist-by-default and require this kind of interface.

you dont need most of that
serve text, motherfuckers

Real question: how are you going to make a usable login system with 3rd party javascript enabled?

Because he would actually die in an accident if he did.

Somewhat agree.
uBlock also has blacklist-by-default settings. So basically if you have both installed (and you might think to because they don't replace each other) then you would need to add exceptions in both much of the time.

you know too much already

because JS is broken by default it's the open door for botnet and censorship

Yes.

>gorhill says thing
>Moonchild says "he's lying, what he said is true"

Also pihole is garbage, hosts-based blocking isn't nearly enough.

This lol

>nhentai
Disgusting newfag

It is better than not being able to host block.

he literally has his name and state in his github bio

Everything can already hosts block.

Not everything give the user access to the host file.

I mean..... yeah? I don't even think you need root on android for it anymore. Not sure about iphone.

You do need root. Unless you choose the VPN route. And then the VPN can perform the host block. You can run a VPN server from the phone(goodnight battery) and also be the client or run a VPN from home or something. Can even run one from the same Pi that a Pi-hole is running on.

-Just a quick run down for other readers wanting to know the difference with Pihole and VPN options included.

Pi-hole is a weak adblocker but allows for everything on the network to have things blocked and even more so if your router allows for NAT rules for hard coded DNS request.

Host is the bees knees for a device able to give access to it for the user but it does lack granular control for blocking.

Adblock in browsers block return request from known ads.

ublock blocks request from being sent to ads from being sent by you

fuck you

Content Blocker is superior to Host Block. You can block more then domain. You can block cookes, frames, scripts,etc in a fine tuned UI.

uhhm blokada exist without root or vpn host JESUS

hey stupid moron

blokada uses exactly the vpn feature IDIOT

happy vanilla garbage

ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
