Anyone who's given it a good run and want to share?

I have had the extension for quite a while, I think in TestFlight however, PiHole handles 99% of my filtering so I never really noticed the extension in full effect.

it’s weird that tapping settings under the extensions just takes you to a blank webpage

Has anyone vetted this is actually from the main author and not a scammer posing as him? I see no mention of this on the main website or GitHub.

[–] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago (1 children)

i believe this is it.

https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBOL-home

i agree the documentation should be more clear.

Awesome, thanks. github is a pain in the butt to navigate, so I must have just missed it. Appreciated.

It does state it doesn't collect any data. So that's helpful. But I don't know if that is according to any kind of automated testing or if it is simply a declaration by the author before submitting it to apple for review.

Yeah... I'm just concerned about some kind of malware payload or spyware. It's been ramping up in vectors traditionally free from it, so trying to be careful with something that is designed to literally constantly monitor web usage. A spyware recording all the inputs and outputs of like.. your bank website or healthcare... sub-optimal.

I would expect everybody was already on some version of it since iOS 26 launches in weeks

Huh? They’re jumping from 18 to 26?
