No, use uBlock Origin.

It has some deal breaking limitations:

  • No filter list that can be updated, you have to update the whole extension to update filters. This adds delay as it has to go through Google verification process, they could even refuse some updates.
  • Not every type of rules are available on MV3, so it has to drop some filters.
  • No CNAME-uncloacking.

Yes but that's not the same. Because of Chrome limitation it can't update it's blocklist directly. You have to update the whole extension to update the blocklist and that goes through Google validation in the Chrome store. It adds delay and Google could even refuse some updates. The blocklist is also shorter because not all filter rules are supported.

The Russian government has also allegedly begun preparations to block the WhatsApp messaging app.

I don't get it, are you really arguing that Russia and Venezuela are blocking Signal to protect their citizens from American snooping?

All of them except uBlock Origin are in Arkenfox "Do not bother" extension list: https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/wiki/4.1-Extensions#-dont-bother

It started in june, for now it's just showing a warning saying that the extension will soon no longer be supported. They'll be disabled gradually until the beginning of 2025.

That's not the same. DNS blocking is great but it can't block as well as a proper ad blocker.

He had the book « Le vertige de l'émeute: de la Zad aux Gilets jaunes » (The Vertigo of the Riot: From the ZAD to the Yellow Vests) in his car according to some French article.

Why would you trust Greasemonkey and some random script over uBlockOrigin?

Also it might be possible to do it partly but performance would inevitably be worse and I'm not sure every functionality would be implementable.

This is the first time you noticed you caught a malware. I wouldn't be so confident about never having caught one and Im way more paranoid than you. This one was just really noisy.

Yeah, I don't think that's the best selling point for desktop use. For me it's having all my configs for all my devices in a single place, checked in git, with bits of config I can easily share between my different devices.
