• Any way to remove ads from Twitch?

  You can upgrade the uBlock blocking mode to something better than what you are currently using, the Raymond Hill(or just gorhill)'s wiki explains how to do it. Https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Blocking-mode. Source: about 1 year ago

• uBlacklist – Block specific sites from appearing in Google search results

  My mind immediately went to uMatrix or uBlockOrigin. Just want to note that, so far as I can tell, this is not associated with the author (gorhill) of those other tools: https://github.com/gorhill. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• I would like to express my gratefulness to gorhill.

  I was feeling the same, just yesterday. Nothing but respect for gorhill. Source: about 2 years ago

• uBlock Origin becomes #1 addon on Firefox beating Adblock Plus

  Today though, I'd recommend skimming through uBlock Origin's Github readme: https://github.com/gorhill. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• UBlacklist – Extension to blacklist sies from appearing in Google Search results

  I think trying to piggy-back upon the success of Gorhill's uBlock and uMatrix with your naming, is a bit snidey. https://github.com/gorhill. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Ash HN: My country is undergoing a coup, which encryption software should I use?

  Use briar. Use LineageOS without gapps (aka without Google Play Services). Obviously don't use Meta or Google apps, because that's where the backdoors are for governments. Use AppWarden to enable/disable/verify the usage of known trackers in your apps. Use NetGuard as an Android firewall.

• What if I have two phones? One for real life use, one for social media?

  Now is it possible to use different devices and not be identified? yes.. But it takes work.You need to isolate the device and cut off every connection it has to Facebook, including system level apps. If you're using an Android a quick look at the "new phone" after installing Netguard will show you that many default apps make connections to Facebook. Source: 10 months ago

• 📣 Blokada 6 Update! 📣

  If filtering is done locally on the device itself (i.e. Like in AdAway, DNS66, NetGuard or personalDNSfilter) it's not. Source: 11 months ago

• Is there an easy way to block trackers inside apps on a Samsung, other then DDG?

  Https://netguard.me + configured to AdGuard DNS. Source: 11 months ago

• I didn't even use my phone and it's on 68% somehow. Is there any way to shut this moto thing? Please help

  A simple way to block access to internet per app. Source: 11 months ago
