Ublock doesn't block ads

>>55994987
uBlock blocks ads. This doesn't have anything to do with them.

If it bothers you, get NoScript.

You fucking retard how did you turn on computer today?

adblock usually blocks all of google's tracking shit because all of the tracking stuff is bundled in with adsense

adblock blocks the botnet while ublock pretends to

You can't block youtube video suggestion, they store history of what and how you watch videos.

>Ublock doesn't block ads
I have heard that a lot on /g/ lately. But I have also heard the opposite.

I'll stick with ABP for the time being because it still works for me. The only negative according to /g/ is that they allow "acceptable" ads by default.

Until an independent 3rd party can test uBlock and can verify that is doesn't hide ads, I'll stick with something that currently works. I can no longer tell when /g/ knows what it is talking about and when /g/ is trolling.

Use uMatrix if you want to block cookies.

Is there an independent 3rd party test that verifies ABP doesn't hide ads?

>>55994987
To clarify: the imgur page did not contain any Youtube videos?

They can also track you through social media buttons - I don't think they get blocked.

>>55994987
you're just retarded and have analytics and gstatic enabled on 4chan

No. Get uMatrix.

Both ABP and uBlock Origin block ads, but they also both hide some – it's what's called cosmetic filtering.
The main difference is that uBlock Origin doesn't allow "acceptable ads" by default, and comes with more filter lists enabled by default.

So out of the box, uBlock Origin will block (and hide) more ads than ABP blocks and hides, but by disabling "acceptable ads" and subscribing to more filter lists you can pretty much bring ABP up to par. uBlock Origin may be better at blocking some kinds of ads/tracking through websockets and stuff like that though, but either way there is absolutely zero reason to use ABP with fuckery over uBlock Origin with default settings.

Why should I install an addon, when I can disable cookies with the browser out of the box?

>>55995085
that's a cookies, or browsing history base. Clear it and renew ip address and see.

>>55996564
You can use the request viewer in firefox or chromium to view the requests(or lack of them). Adblock and ublock both stop requests.

I assume you're trolling but in case you're just ignorant here goes:

With extensions you can have much more granular control, and you can setup pre-defined rules for what to allow or block.

If you disable cookies entirely in browser you won't be able to save 4chan settings among other things. With extensions you can choose to enable only 1st-party cookies, only cookies ON a certain domain or only cookies FORM a certain domain TO a certain domain etc. etc.

For example you may wish to allow cookies form

boards.4chan.org

on

*.4chan.org

but not from

google.com

and not on any other domain.

>ublock only hides
no, ublock is all around better than adblock, for this particular case

And i know you're shilling OP i'm posting this so other people aren't mislead by it.

Buy a pass or you're not safe here.

This is also just an option in Firefox.

No, get NoScript

Mozilla really needs to incorporate the permissions menu into this drop down thing already. Right now specific options only show up if you change them from the default.

ublock is technically superior in every way.

>>55997708
true, but it's still either third party cookies off or on, far too coarse control

>>55997749
use ublock instead

>>55997838
I already do. It doesn't cover what I want to do though. uMatrix does but managing both at the same time is annoying

>>55994987
You have shit taste.

>>55997895
oh yeah i meant umatrix
i have ublock in default settings i think, a few extra lists enabled but otherwise mostly default settings, no expert mode, i do most of the real filtering in umatrix and have ublock mostly for cosmetic filtering. i also use requestpolicy extended in front of umatrix so obvious stuff like google analytics won't clutter umatrix

I don't really need all the things umatrix offers it would just become an annoyance for my purposes. I just need it to be easier to change the per-site permissions.

I really like how Chromium handles them. Sadly dislike a lot of other things about Chromium.

You can uncheck Accept Cookies entirely and then manage on a per-site basis in the exceptions window. Or via Page Info -> Permissions.

(Also only just now found out Mozilla removed the "always ask" option and about:permissions. Fucking cunts.)

>>55996628
They don't if you don't apply the related list
