Add `trusted-prevent-dom-bypass` scriptlet @description Prevent the bypassing of uBO scriptlets through anonymous embedded context. To ensure that a target method in the embedded context is using the corresponding parent context's method (which is assumed to be properly patched), or to replace the embedded context with that of the parent context. Root issue: https://issues.chromium.org/issues/40202434 @param methodPath The method which calls must be intercepted. The arguments of the intercepted calls are assumed to be HTMLElement, anything else will be ignored. @param selector (optional) A plain CSS selector which will be used in a `document.querySelector()` call, to validate that the returned element must be processed by the scriptlet. If no selector is provided, all elements will be processed. @param targetMethod (optional) The method in the embedded context which should be delegated to the parent context. If no method is specified, the embedded context becomes the parent one, i.e. all properties of the embedded context will be that of the parent context.

Imrpove `prevent-xhr` scriptlet; add `trusted-prevent-xhr` scriptlet Add support for synchronous `send()` calls. `trusted-prevent-xhr` is essentially the same as `prevent-xhr` except that if the `directive` argument is not a known token, it will be used as is as the response text of the xhr request, whereas `prevent-xhr` returns an empty string when the directive is unknown.

Skip dns resolution when requests are proxied through http Related issue: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/discussions/3396 Reference: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/proxy/ProxyInfo#type_2

Blocking large media elements also prevents autoplay, regardless of size Related issue: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/3394 When the "No large media elements" per-site switch is toggled on, it will also act to prevent autoplay of video/audio media, regardless of their size. This also works for xhr-based media streaming. If blocking by size is not desirable while blocking autoplay is desired, one can toggle on "No large media elements" switch while setting "Block media elements larger than ..." to a very high value.

uBlock Origin Reviews
More Ad Blockers
-
Incredibly powerful, network-wide ad-blocker. Works out-of-the-box, light-weight with an intuitive web interface, but still allows for a lot of advanced configuration for power users. As well as blocking ads and trackers, Pi-Hole speeds up your network speeds quite significantly. The dashboard has detailed statistics, and makes it easy to pause/ resume Pi-Hole if needed.
-
A shell script application to manage ad-blocking, Dnsmasq logging, Entware and pixelserv-tls installations and more on supported routers running Asuswrt-Merlin firmware, including its forks.
-
Native Apple (Swift) apps, for system-wide ad-blocking. Can be customized with custom host lists, primarily aimed for just ad-blocking.
-
A POSIX-compliant shell script, designed for Unix-like systems, that gets a list of domains that serve ads, tracking scripts and malware from multiple sources and creates a hosts file (alternative formats are also supported) that prevents your system from connecting to them. Aimed at improving security and privacy through blocking advert, tracking and malware associated domains.
-
Open source mobile ad-blocker that acts like a firewall. Since it's device-wide, once connected all apps will have ads/ trackers blocked, and the blacklist can be edited. The app is free, but there is a premium option, which has a built-in VPN.
-
Free and open source ad-blocker and a firewall for Android 6+ (no root required).
-
Python script that uses machine learning to block adverts in live audio streams, such as Radio, Podcasts, Audio Books, and music platforms such as Spotify. See live demo.
