Ultimate solution for the disappearance of manifest v2 for ad blockers : Adhost-adblocker #524

Open trimechee opened 6 months ago

trimechee commented 6 months ago

Hello, ad blockers risk becoming weak with the introduction of manifest v3, here is an exceptional revolutionary solution to overcome this: we would like Mr @Alex313031 to analyze the extension and if he finds it good, i think it will be good for Thorium to replace ublock origin with this extension when ublock origin uses manifest v3, thanks!

"An open-source DNS-based ad-blocker that operates based on host filtering to block ads, malware, phishing hostnames

The "adHost" extension uses hostname matching to block ads on all web pages except those that are whitelisted. In this method, a predefined list of hostnames for known advertisers or analytic providers is being blocked. Since text matching is all that is done to block or allow a hostname, this method is faster and less memory bloat compared to RegExp method that add-ons like uBlock, Adblock, or Adblock Plus use. You can use the options page to whitelist a domain (no resource is blocked in tabs with this hostname) or add more hostnames to the blacklist."
