At the end of the day, users may find themselves opted in to services they really don't want and they still won't have uBlock Origin installed after all the hoop jumping has taken place.
Visiting all three destinations encourage users to enter their personally identifiable information (PII), such as mobile contact number, email address, and name.
#Ublock origin. password#
After an email address and password have been supplied, clicking the "Register" button opens this page:Īs we tested this app using a UK IP, the offers were indeed UK-centric.
#Ublock origin. install#
Users are then requested to register for a "uBlock account", something the real app wouldn't ask from users, in order to completely install the app. The domain is protected by CloudFlare, so we can't say who is responsible for it. Once the the fake uBlock Origin app is installed, a browser tab opens to ublockqtop, which then redirects users to appmelaunchercom/uBlock/.
#Ublock origin. download#
Google Chrome and Firefox users may download the app here and here, respectively. For Internet users who wish to remain safe from possible threats they may encounter while browsing the Web, uBlock Origin is one of those nifty apps that keeps them away from bad scripts or bad ads that may have affected legitimate sites they frequent. Honestly, I didn't know it bothered you so much, so I apologize for this.UBlock Origin is a widely used browser app or extension known for its ability to filter content. Normally though rules are super-wide, they shouldn't cause users having problems with uBlock Origin. Most of the rules are not really useful actually, they are just very defensive, uBlock Origin is cool and we both benefit from it (you gain more users, and we do so), so don't be worried to ask if some rules are affecting you or your users, then we can fine-tune / remove or improve them. Still I agree, the best compromise could be exact matches or matching root domain without TLD and I hear you. You can find other things, divs named "push" are mostly whitelisted (for the story, "push" is used as an adblocker-bait by many websites among other things, so here, Kiwi uses that mechanism to defuse the anti-adblock and actually defend uBlock Origin !). It would be good to have a full-time person to maintain the content filtering itself, so that's why it's delegated to extensions. True, it's not pretty nor ideal, but it does the job. Some are intendedly wide ("if a website is somehow named Facebook, then it can open popups"), but when you think about it, it does its job, and for a very low maintenance time. There are tons of such guesses in Kiwi, notably to block popups. See it as an heuristic "this looks okayish", not an absolute source of truth.
#Ublock origin. code#
This code just says "ok, there is a doubt, this *may* be a legitimate request, so let it go through just in case of doubt" Somehow in general it's better to let an ad appear than block legitimate content.īecause once the content is non-visible or the window has been blocked, it's very challenging to get the content back without interaction of a developer, whereas if a content is displayed, you can still use the pickup tool and remove the item manually (or close the window). Yep, will change that to parse the root domain at some point.
