Рэймонд Хилл (Raymond Hill), автор систем блокирования нежелательного контента uBlock Origin, опубликовал экспериментальное браузерное дополнение uBO Minus With the implementation of the Ublock Origin version, transferred to the Declarativenetrequest API, the use of which is prescribed in the third version of the Chrome manifesto. Unlike the classic Ublock Origin, a new addition uses the capabilities of the engine built into the contents to filter and does not require powers to intercept and change all these sites.
In addition, there is not a pop -up panel and pages of settings of parameters, and functionality is limited to blocking network queries. For work without advanced powers, capabilities such as cosmetic filters for replacing the contents on the page (“##”), substitution of scripts for sites (“##+JS”), filters for redirecting requests (“Redirect =”), headlines filters CSP (Content Security Policy) and filters for removing query parameters (“Removeparam =”). Otherwise, the list of filters offered by default is fully consistent with the set from Ublock Origin and includes about 22 thousand rules.
In addition, a few days ago presented The experimental option for blocking adguard advertising – adguardmv3 , also transferred to the API DeclaativeNetrequest API and capable of browsers that support only the third version of the Chrome manifesto. The prototype proposed for testing provides the functionality necessary for ordinary users for blocking advertising, but lags behind the addition to the second edition of the manifesto for their advanced capabilities, which may be of interest to advanced users.
In the new Adguard, hiding banners, widgets of social networks and annoying elements, blocking advertising on video platforms of similar YouTube and proactive blocking of requests related to tracking movements will continue to work. Of the restrictions, the flickering of advertising inserts is noted due to the delay in the application of cosmetic rules by 1.5-2 seconds, the loss of some capabilities associated with the filtering of cookies, the use of regular expressions and filtering of requests (the new API provides simplified regular expressions), the availability of statistics and logs of filters. Only in the developer mode (Developer Mode).
