Anti-Adblock Killer

@twil We have to make a distinction, the brand has been sold, not the project. Nano is open source and gpl‐3 licensed. The normal course of action would have been looking for future maintainers inside the community and handing Nano over. It was a very greedy move that led to the death of the project. And no, I don’t think it paid off, Nano was shut down pretty much immediately after the update. In hindsight the 2 turkish “devs” should have just forked the project calling it Nanü. Maybe it would have survived for a few days longer.

NanoDefender survived, forking the non malware release, but only for Firefox.
[At the moment] the unpacked should work with ubo+chromium too but better wait to see how the project goes.

I add the 3 lists above to UBO. Lets see if with them Nano Defender is not necessary any more.

@barbudo2005 remember that you also need uBlock Origin Extra for bypassing the anti adblock on some sites.

@iAN-CooG First check the script for sites you visit. If there are none, no point in installing it.

@iAN-CooG

Maybe is the same as the extension "I don't care about cookies".

I add the list of "I don't care about cookies" to UBO and most of the sites works.

The creator of "I don't care about cookies" said:

"Be aware that the filter list is not as effective as a browser extension but it will hide most cookie warnings."

@luetage Yes, I've installed it exactly because of sites like gamespot and pcmag

[barbudo2005]

[iAN CooG]

@barbudo2005 oh, ok then it seems no longer needed

[luetage]

@barbudo2005 I guess I retract my statement to check the file lol

[barbudo2005]

@iAN-CooG @luetage

I proved gamespot and pcmag in Chrome with ABP and there is no alerts.

So Ublock Extra (and maybe Nano Defender) are no longer needed or are useless?

[luetage]

@barbudo2005 I never used either of those, can’t tell.

[Hadden89]

@barbudo2005
Nano Defender worked in a slightly different way, even if it was a uBo Extra fork (I guess).
It had specific sites scripts which weren't covered by filterlists usually made after opening an issue.
But I can't be sure if it is still useful as I dropped Nano when the native blocker was introduced.
It was effective on defeating site countdowns for example.

I had installed Nano Defender, to work alongside uBO. Then I disabled it and never saw any difference. I suppose I just don't browse any of the sites for which it was useful, but I then uninstalled it. The only times I see the notice about having an ad-blocker installed are on the first load of a new site with all Javascript disabled. When I enable first-party JS, that goes away but ads still do not appear. I had the same experience while Nano Defender installed & enabled.

@barbudo2005 I added your lists to Vivaldi's own content blocker and was no longer pestered by 'disable your adblocker' messages at the sites I visited, including: https://www.britannica.com/topic/Actaeon

A uBO Team said in Reddit:

[Hadden89]

@barbudo2005 I felt Nano Def was a bit legacy by the way

UBO team.???...just remember ublock is being developed by a monetizing former partner of raymond hill (gorhill).

Ublock origin is the extension developed by gorhill and he does not usually identify as "ubo team".

@Priest72 The need of a team tag is strange but seems to be a legit contributor.
