@Kerplunk @k3ym0 @QuercusMacrocarpa @ublockorigin We're building an open-source, system-wide ad-blocker called Zen. It sits outside the browser, so it's unaffected by the artificial limitations of Manifest V3 (among other benefits), so I'd recommend it to anyone still using Chrome. We're aiming for 100% feature parity with uBO and other ad-blockers (already 90% there). Check it out if you're interested: https://github.com/ZenPrivacy/zen-desktop

@marcoarment@mastodon.social Time to use curl

@dm29@mastodon.social @Techaltar@mas.to @frameworkcomputer@fosstodon.org They have fairly non-standard screen dimensions. If I remember correctly from what they've said in the past, it's difficult to get manufacturers to commit to creating an entirely new production line for their needs, given the smaller volume. So it likely isn't just a lack of effort from the framework team.

@k3ym0 @Kerplunk @QuercusMacrocarpa @ublockorigin Also, just to clarify - the exceptions control hosts traffic TO which gets allowlisted. Outbound requests FROM an allowlisted host still get filtered through Zen.

@k3ym0 @Kerplunk @QuercusMacrocarpa @ublockorigin Exactly. It sets up a local MITM proxy, inspects the request/response flow, blocks or modifies requests, and also injects custom CSS and JS into pages to emulate features that would normally require browser extension APIs. To preempt the question - all proxying is local. The app has to install a root CA, but it's generated on-device and doesn't leave it.

@k3ym0 @Kerplunk @QuercusMacrocarpa @ublockorigin Thank you! Dropped you a message on Signal.

@dm29@mastodon.social @Techaltar@mas.to @frameworkcomputer@fosstodon.org considering how long they had that panel with rounded corners, I’m guessing getting a perfect one is complicated
