For those of you that don’t want to install another add-on, this filter for uBlock does a similar thing: https://filterlists.com/lists/clearurls-for-ublock-origin
https://filterlists.com/lists/actually-legitimate-url-shortener-tool is bigger list and is updated more often.
Excuse my ignorance, but how are these added to Ublock, as it seems such a sensible thing to do?
If you follow that link you will see ‘Subscribe’ towards the bottom, that will add it to uBo
Much appreciated!
Sorry, just seen this. Glad someone else sorted you out.
Or… Avoid Google products unless absolutely necessary,
I can honestly say I don’t hit any front-end Google server for a few days to a week at a time. Occasionally I look some obscure technical issue that only Google search finds and that’s usually when I break my streak. Otherwise, there are plenty of alternatives to get you 80% of the way there functionally without touching Google with a 10-ft pole.
Of course, and despite my best efforts, my browser probably hits a lot of back-end Google servers - you know, the gstatic.com, google.com and such that other websites inflict on you and you can’t avoid half of the times without breaking the site.
What’s the reason to use Google services to begin with? Asking because I’m genuinely curious.
Some of us have to work with people who are still neck deep in the google swamp, and who use their online office suite for sharing documents.
Other than that, do you know if there’s a better search engine that can search by image?
I used Privacy Badger for years, but recently removed it because it was breaking so many sites. ublock + adguard is good enough for me.
I’ve used uBlock Origin & Privacy Badger for years, over a wide variety of different types of websites, and haven’t had any problems.
