Has anyone vetted this is actually from the main author and not a scammer posing as him? I see no mention of this on the main website or GitHub.

[–] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

i believe this is it.

https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBOL-home

i agree the documentation should be more clear.

[–] Durandal@lemmy.today 7 points 1 month ago

Awesome, thanks. github is a pain in the butt to navigate, so I must have just missed it. Appreciated.

It does state it doesn't collect any data. So that's helpful. But I don't know if that is according to any kind of automated testing or if it is simply a declaration by the author before submitting it to apple for review.

Yeah... I'm just concerned about some kind of malware payload or spyware. It's been ramping up in vectors traditionally free from it, so trying to be careful with something that is designed to literally constantly monitor web usage. A spyware recording all the inputs and outputs of like.. your bank website or healthcare... sub-optimal.

Requires ios 18

[–] MisanthropiCynic@lemmy.today 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I would expect everybody was already on some version of it since iOS 26 launches in weeks

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Some of us are locked to 17

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Huh? They’re jumping from 18 to 26?

[–] cholesterol@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Anyone who's given it a good run and want to share?

[–] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

I tried it for the last couple weeks and went back to wipr2, mainly because wipr cleans up cookie pop ups. maybe there is a way to do it with ubol but i didn't feel like fucking with it.

I’m using it on all Apple devices ever since the day it was launched (3w ago), works flawlessly.

Even blocks YouTube ads … basically the same uBO as you’d typically have on Firefox, Chrome etc.

[–] FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.cafe 3 points 1 month ago

thank fuck. i was getting sick of how uncustomisable adguard is

[–] MisanthropiCynic@lemmy.today 1 points 1 month ago

it’s weird that tapping settings under the extensions just takes you to a blank webpage

I have had the extension for quite a while, I think in TestFlight however, PiHole handles 99% of my filtering so I never really noticed the extension in full effect.
