Dynamic filtering: default deny
Default-deny is an awesome blocking mode for whoever is ready for the task of having to un-break web sites during the first visit, and agrees that in general most 3rd-party resources from web pages:
- are not really all required
- increase privacy exposure
Default-deny engaged, through the default blocking of 3rd-party network requests.
The benefits of using default-deny are plenty:
- Faster page load
- Reduction of bandwidth consumption
- Reduction of privacy exposure
- Increase browser security
- Easier on your browser's memory and CPU footprint
[...]
You can disengage default-deny for the current site with one click: set the "3rd-party" local setting to noop
:
Default-deny cancelled locally. Notice that the blocking of 3rd-party frames is still in effect: cells with higher precedence won't have their rules overriden by cell with lower precedence.
This results in default-deny being disengaged for the current site (theguardian.com
in the picture), while keeping engaged static filtering (_EasyList, EasyPrivacy, etc.)
working on it.. topic to cover:
no need to use malware domain lists since all 3rd-parties are blocked by default = leaner uBlock
ubiquitous servers blocked by default, i.e. no need to pre-emptively block facebook, google, twitter, linkdin, etc. to prevent tracking by these
provide many real-life examples of how easy it is to un-break websites
uBlock Origin - An efficient blocker for Chromium and Firefox. Fast and lean.
