I thinkthis is an benefit of the package called squid, which has been in repositries sinve Linux V0.? or similar. It is basically a web cache oroxy and if I remember it correctly, it would also replace the block of an add with a 'squid' block. Vague because I haven't used it since our link was a dial-up lin and we had something doing that at the times. ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

I’ve never used it myself, but the privoxy website mentions it does ad blocking and is available from devuan/debian repositories. ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

Thanks for taking the time to reply. Waterfox was sold to an advertising company last year.. probably not a good example for firefox forks & adblocking.. :) don't know about adguard, but ublock origin works fine with : firefox, firefox-esr, icecat, basilisk, waterfox, seamonkey, torbrowser. some of those forks use latest versions of ublock origin, others use legacy versions : https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/blob/master/dist/README.md#firefox-legacy noscript has a "legacy" version too : https://noscript.net/getit http/socks proxy, i know squid proxy can be set for adblocking, but maybe too heavy on resources.. there's the option of adblocking domains in /etc/hosts, or with a local dns resolver. 2c, d. ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
[DNG] Firefox and its forks are losing the power of add-ons.
Dear All, Lately, I am noticing Waterfox has lost the ability to display my add-ons, which are AdGuard AdBlocker and NoScript. I had about two more in the past, but it is becoming increasingly difficult to have any that work. My preferences are an ad-free internet experience, or at least, if not entirely ad-free, with intrusive adds blocked, and a font rendering with a large than normal font size. The latter, is provided by Waterfox itself, but adds are favoured to intrude and steal bandwidth and processing power which I do not have much of. I would like to ask whether a software proxy running on the same machine would be able to provide adequate ad filtering. I have iptables installed, but it is not configured and configuration requires some networking knowledge which unfortunately I do not have. I tried to find a GUI front end for iptables, but failed to find what is suitable for my very limited networking knowledge. If you have other solutions which I did not think of, please suggest them. Thanks for taking the time to reply. Edward. ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
