Appending (intext:“modlog” & “instances” & “docs” & “code” & “join lemmy”) to your search query will search most instances. Works with Google, Startpage, SearXNG afaik.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can Chromium resist Manifest V3 or is it doomed to disallow adblockers?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Adblockers will still be allowed, they will just be crippled a lot. It will probably be the same as the adblocking situation on Safari.

If any 3rd party browser vendor wants to maintain a Chromium fork with Manifest V2, they can do so, but with the risk of code maintenance hell. They would also need a extension store for Manifest V2 extensions. Otherwise V2 extensions needs to be installed manually.

By doing that you’re wasting bandwidth on all the CDNs that hosts ALL your filter lists. Updating the Quick fixes list should be enough. (Which updates every 5 hours automatically on uBO 1.54).

How to manually update Quick Fixes
- Click 🛡️ uBO’s icon
- the ⚙ Dashboard button
- the Filter lists pane
- the 🕘 clock icon next to the uBlock filters – Quick fixes list
- the 🔃 Update now button.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: Social media platforms attach trackers to the end of share URLs (which you can and should delete)⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
If you want to remove parameters from urls you can use the removeparam filter in uBlock Origin.

For example: /?igshid=$removeparam=igshid,domain=instagram.com

For the best performance it’s recommended to make sure the parameter is included in the filter as seen above with /?igshid, and with the domain it originated from.

Filters for the examples in OPs post:
```
/?igshid=$removeparam=igshid,domain=instagram.com
?is_from_webapp$removeparam=is_from_webapp,domain=tiktok.com
&amp;t=$removeparam=/^amp;/,domain=x.com
```

Anti-adblock killer by Reek

That thing is unmaintained and have not been updated for over 7 years. It will do absolutely nothing.

If you have issues with YouTube: old.reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/about/sticky?num=2

I have to add some things though:
1. Read the thread thoroughly, you may have missed a step or 2, or may have misunderstood something. There’s a lot of noise in the replies. Filter maintainers can’t always give support or keep up with the noise. Being pushy, unfriendly, or replying to the thread without doing every step will not fix the problem for you. If you have technical knowledge, consider contributing that knowledge.
2. Do not add random filters, scripts, extensions from random users. If you don’t understand what you’re doing you may add something that may work against you instead of for you, or in worse cases add something malicious.
3. YouTube seems to update their anti-ab script at least twice a day more or less. So just: Click 🛡️ uBO’s icon > the ⚙ Dashboard button > the Filter lists pane > the 🕘 clock icon at the end of the uBlock filters – Quick fixes list > the 🔃 Update now button. Do NOT click purge all caches and update now, that will only add more pressure to the filter hosts.
4. If there’s a mismatch between the filter fixes and YouTube’s latest fixes, just wait, watch the video logged out, or use an alternative front-end like piped, invidious, or whatever.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I made a user script for youtube that adds a piped button beside each vid.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Use farside when recommending alternative front ends. This way users will be redirected to a random working instance.

For piped you can use: farside.link/piped/

And for a video: farside.link/piped/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ
