Steven Black's hosts blocklist has been removed from uBlock Origin Lite. This change will take effect in the next update.

https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/commit/8d9832b4d617b2e616ba0e5091137db4ae5dcc1b

The commit removing it cited an issue thread where a user complained uBlock Origin Lite was breaking stripchat.com, a pornography website.
I have confirmed Steven Black's list contains a filter blocking the domain stripchat.com

A comment in the HOSTS file states the entry was "Added April 28, 2023".
In an issue thread from 2025, the maintainer explained the reasoning behind blocklisting it:

The domain stripchat.com isn't just porn. It's also a pop-over and pop-under site that appears in many contexts, typically porn but not exclusively.

As such, it's just like LiveJasmine an others which we include in our regular list because it's also adware. And annoying.

https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/issues/2850

In an issue thread from two weeks ago concerning breakage on theweathernetwork.com which was cited in the stripchat thread, mapx stated the maintainer was unresponsive to messages on an internal discussion platform.

https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/issues/31670

Messages in an internal discussion platform show Ryan Brown and an AdGuard employee were informed about breakage on theweathernetwork.com caused by their lists respectively. However, I have been unable to locate the messages referenced by mapx. It is possible they were sent through private messaging, on another platform, or the message is not being returned by my searches.
As such, while I do not believe mapx is lying, I have been unable to verify this claim.

Due to the lack of granularity in DNS level blocklists, it is not possible to unblock a domain only for a specific website, or only block specific URLs on a domain.
According to an issue thread from 2021, the domain in question - assets-jpcust.jwpsrv.com - is used for serving both advertisements and legitimate content.

Steven Black's list was first added to uBlock Origin Lite in 2022. It is not included in uBlock Origin.

Didn't try it yet, but it seems interesting:

@SleepyCatten This is awesome, thanks for sharing! 🥳💜 I also found github.com/Stevoisiak/Stevos-GenAI-Blocklist/ for even more blocking! 🥳 #NoAI #FuckAI #AIBlockList #uBlockOrigin

We recently came across an amazing project called uBlockOrigin & uBlacklist Huge AI Blocklist.

As they describe it, it's:

A huge blocklist of manually curated sites (1000+) that contain AI generated content, for the purposes of cleaning image search engines (Google Search, DuckDuckGo, and Bing) with uBlock Origin or uBlacklist.

There's something really lovely at the top of the uBlock Origin filter list, just under the description, that brought us a small bit of very-much-needed joy, and we wanted to share it here with others 🫶

! HAPPY PRIDE MONTH

@miclgael #TIL that yesterday i made a careless error when further tweaking my #uBO #HardMode #DynamicFilters, such that when i intended to globally block several more google shitfuckeries, i accidentally actually globally allowed them. for the rest of yesterday, & a couple of hours this morn, i had been puzzling over the dramatic increase in cpu% on various regular sites [especially this my Friendica instance].

having found my stoopid error & fixed it, ~90' ago, it made me wonder again how ghastly the interwebz must be for naively unprotected peeps 😱

#uBlockOrigin

@ralphruthe Ich habe mir die Seite angesehen. Optisch überzeugt sie mich nicht besonders, aber das ist natürlich Geschmackssache – vieles kann ich zudem mit #uBlockOrigin herausfiltern.

Was mich jedoch stört, ist die Genderschreibweise. Aus diesem Grund werde ich die Seite künftig nicht weiter nutzen.

Schwer zu sagen - ich weiß ja nix von Deinem Papi.

Firefox: Na klar. Mit #uBlockOrigin evtl. RemovePaywall dazu

LibreOffice: Da würde ich das Systempaket nehmen.

Ansonsten: Lass ihn mitmachen ...

Falls er programmieren mag: #LazarusIDE mit #FreePascal - aber auf keinen Fall aus dem Systempaket!

If you visit "videocardz dot com" regularly and think them disabling text highlighting/copying is annoying (and useless), here's a filter recipe for #ublockorigin

Open the dashboard (cogs) and paste this into "My filters":

videocardz.com##*:style(-moz-user-select: text !important;)
videocardz.com##*::selection:style(color: yellow !important; background: black !important;)

Should be easy to adapt for other sites too.

#uBlockOrigin

I rarely use Reddit on my phone, but recently I'm seeing "sponsored" ads on it again despite using uBlock Origin (using uBlock's own filterlist, Hagezi Pro+, OISD). It seems to be only on mobile, no ads on my laptop despite, as far as I can see, the same settings.

That's strange, Hagezi lists alone would normally even be enough. 🤔

Some devices on our #networks _REALLY_ want to #CallHome .

In my case a mixture of #Desktops and #Servers, with both #Windows and #Linux, and #Android #phones , #HomeAutomation , #SecurityCameras , and basic #Networking gear. This list covers the last 30 days, starting January 1st, 2026

If you don't have a sinkhole of your own covering your entire network, I'd suggest at least using #uBlockOrigin in your #browsers

Me he encontrado con esta lista de bloqueo para evitar el contenido generado por IA de más de un millar de webs, una buena forma de intentar obviarla aunque probablemente no sea más que un vano intento por retrasar lo inevitable. Si usamos uBlock Origin es muy fácil de instalar siguiendo las instrucciones (en inglés) o incluso con un solo click.

Resulta paradójico y cargado de ironía que la lista se distribuya en GitHub, hogar de una de las avanzadillas más hirientes del sector con GitHub Copilot.

Some basic tips to get started:

1️⃣ Use a password manager 🔐

2️⃣ Make sure you're staying up to date on software updates, which have critical security patches you need to stay safe 💻

3️⃣ install an ad-blocking extension to block internet trackers in their... uh, tracks 😄 (4/5)

What do people think of wBlock?

https://github.com/0xCUB3/wBlock

Every few years I look again to see which adblocker I should use.

On Librefox it is the built in UBlock Origin.

On Safari it used to be ublock origin, but that stopped working, so I moved to Adguard but Ublock Origin Lite has re-appeard, but I also notice wblock is a new open source option too.

I'll experiment with wblock but would value others' views too.

Alors que la publicité en ligne devient de plus en plus omniprésente et non sanctionnée, #AdNauseam s'efforce de boucler la boucle en automatisant les clics publicitaires de manière universelle et aveugle pour le compte de ses utilisateurs. Construit sur #uBlockOrigin, AdNauseam clique discrètement sur chaque publicité bloquée, enregistrant ainsi une visite dans les bases de données des réseaux publicitaires. Les données collectées montrant un flux de clics omnivore, le suivi, le #ciblage et la #surveillance des utilisateurs deviennent inutiles.

First up! Our top tip for everyone starting to care about being tracked online is to install a content blocking extension in their browser, and the best choice is uBlock Origin.

Advertisements aren’t just annoying, they are one of the most prevalent attack vectors on the internet. Minimizing the amount of content you are downloading and running makes you much safer, and it speeds up your browsing at the same time! 😄
