Something along the lines of: * siteX.tld 3p block (excuse syntax, just for sake of demo) sort of an inverse concept on say siteY.tld * 3p block where we are blocking 3p originating from to flipping it to blocking 3p destination to. Thoughts?

I suggest using your hosts file and an add-on called uBlock Origin ( -US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/ ). I am not sure how effective those measures are. I have employed them for a particular site but I still expect that I have to be on my guard if I see any links to that site (such as in search results).On searching, I find a reference to this add-on: -US/firefox/addon/blocksite/ and an explanation about the hosts file in this answer: -US/questions/848199

ublock origin mozilla download

U-block origin uses more CPU than you would think. It is not ideal for low powered computers. It is better to use the Adblock program in antiX to blacklist problematic IPs and also no-script to make web experience lighter.
You can always install ublock origin if needed with
sudo apt install webext-ublock-origin
Which should install it and enable it for all firefox and chromium based browsers (I think).

I use yahoo mail for my personal email. With the built-in AntiX adblock, I still get ads in yahoo mail. When I use UBlock Origin, I do not get any ads. I use UBlock origin for Chromium and FF-ESR. There is a legacy UBlock origin that I use for both Palemoon and SeaMonkey.

It seems there is no way to enforce extensions running in Incognito mode. There is a discussion about it on mozilla.org confirming this. The only option is to disable private browsing mode through policies, which is far from ideal but nothing can be done about it.

Firefox Account (because my son sometimes uses Firefox), uBlock origin, Bitwarden, Popup window - nice way to pop out some page into a very compact webapp.

I am wondering how do I downgrade an addon like UBlock origins? I never have done this before. I want to know the best method of this. I also hope to have this thread as a resource for future non-expert people like me.

Sadly the bug still exist in 1.45.2 ? The bug has to do with comestic filter not working. You could look up in the thread, -bug-with-ublock-origins-1-45/ to see how this could be easily reproduced using the oldest supported (by UBlock origins) Firefox.

I think what is happening is ublock is blocking the html window that the 1p extension makes on the website. Or what might be happening is since your using the same website to draw your password saving thing, the website's own javascript might conflict and cause it not to draw properly, or some combo of the above. When I tried making a new account on 1password.community for example, the 1p window did properly pop up.

Hey @mac232! 1Password can indeed run into issues with adblockers and anti-virus software. However, it depends on your set up. I myself have never had any issues with using uBlock origin and the 1Password extension in the same browser.

uBlock Origin (/ˈjuːblɒk/; "YOO-block"[5]) (previously uBlock and originally μBlock) is a free and open-source browser extension for content filtering, including ad blocking. The extension is available for Chrome, Chromium, Edge, Firefox, Opera, Pale Moon, as well as versions of Safari prior to 13.[6] uBlock Origin has received praise from technology websites and is reported to be much less memory-intensive than other extensions[7][8] with similar functionality.[9][10] uBlock Origin's stated purpose is to give users the means to enforce their own (content-filtering) choices.[11][12]

Since October 2017, uBlock Origin has been completely separated from Aljoudi's uBlock.[21] Aljoudi created ublock.org to host and promote uBlock and to request donations. In response, uBlock's founder Raymond Hill stated that "the donations sought by ublock.org are not benefiting any of those who contributed most to create uBlock Origin."[6] The development of uBlock stopped in August 2015 but there were sporadic updates from January 2017.[22]

In July 2018, ublock.org was acquired by AdBlock and resumed development.[23] From February 2019, uBlock began allowing users to participate in "acceptable ads",[24][25] a program run by Adblock Plus that allows some ads deemed "acceptable" and nonintrusive, and for which larger publishers pay a fee.[26]

uBlock Origin remains independent and does not allow ads for payment.[27] The project refuses donations and instead advises supporters to donate to maintainers of block lists.[6][28] Hill continued to work on the extension under the name uBlock Origin, abbreviated as uBO[29] and originally as uBlock0.[30]

uBlock Origin is a free and open-source, cross-platform browser extension for content-filtering, including ad-blocking. The extension is available for several browsers: Safari (beta), Chrome, Chromium, Edge, Firefox, and Opera. uBlock Origin has received praise from technology websites, and is reported to be much less memory-intensive than other extensions with similar functionality. uBlock Origin's stated purpose is to give users the means to enforce their own (content-filtering) choices.
If you want the extension to be automatically enabled, be sure to configure your local mozilla.cfg and local-settings.js as per Mozilla documentation.

Network requests for which the actual hostname differs from the original hostname will be replayed through uBO's filtering engine using the actual hostname. When I started developing the feature I could spot eulerian.net in the logger when visiting , but I can no longer reproduce this. Regardless, uBO is now equipped to deal with 3rd-party disguised as 1st-party as far as Firefox's browser.dns allows it."

This is a terrible user interface design for the new so-called "security" feature, silently disabling extensions while hiding the warning from the user. And remember, the quarantined domains list can be changed remotely at any time by Mozilla, without needing a Firefox software update. Firefox just has to "phone home" to Mozilla. (Another reason to install Little Snitch. [Edit: I believe the domain is firefox.settings.services.mozilla.com in this case.])
