Gorhill managed to get uBlock to block CNAME masked domains, so surely this wouldn't be that out of reach for an adblocker?

Good luck getting this to work in google chrome though.




Maybe this will drive people back to Firefox? It's a perfect opportunity for Mozilla to do a marketing drive... oh, wait, they are busy partnering with Facebook (er, Meta) to do advertising stuff. Sigh.


Don't forget force-installing addons like Pocket as a service.. and.. Disney.


If only some (former?) Mozilla workers setup a workers coop that relies solely on donations to produce a decent web browser... Something like what The Document Foundation did for Libreoffice sounds like a good economic model.

I'd be more than happy to donate 10€/month (though i'm really not rich) to keep business incentives outside of the web in at least one well-supported browser. I'm sure there's other likeminded folks. But donating money to help COs and managers make in a month what i make in several years*? Never.

EDIT: Just to be clear i'm explicitly not talking about Brave which is an advertisement company investing in so-called cryptocurrencies, both of which is a redflag for a web browser (although they have some cool tech to showcase).
