I am unable to reproduce, including when creating a new profile. Did you try to reload repeatedly without uBO installed/enabled? What Firefox version? Maybe the Arch build of Firefox is different from mainstream Firefox?

I transcribed the link in your screenshot () into Firefox's address bar and I got a page telling me "[passed]". uBO with default settings/lists. If uBO didn't block anything, it's unlikely to be your issue.

About "uBlock origin, AdBlock Plus": In case you meant using them at the same time, I frown upon doing so, see

"uBlock" was never ever a "largest competitor" -- what BetaFish acquired was control of an abandonware repo (originally forked from uBlock Origin) and associated site "ublock\.org". Ostensibly, they did so just for the sake of being able to register "uBlock" as a trademark.

The Chromium version of uBO is less reliable than the Firefox one; what you are seeing is probably because of

The footnote also says: "Firefox for desktop does allow extensions..." It's not just Firefox for desktop, Firefox for Android also supports the same extensions API.

My expectation is that *when* uBO needs to make a DNS lookup, the browser will cache the result and thus will reuse the result should uBO not block the network request. Thus I do not expect uBO's own DNS lookup to cause extraneous latency as opposed to what the article suggests.

An article discussed on HN's front page () has the following footnote (see pic). Browsers have their own DNS cache, and extensions can create their own cache so as to avoid having to DNS-lookup every network request. The statement ignores this fact.

You are right, I confirm that is not true.

For some reasons the following tweet got a lot of likes: I can only reiterate: Do not install other similar-purposed along with uBlock Origin -- it's a myth to think this will accomplish anything useful (see: )

uBlock Origin is not donation driven, see . Adblock Plus is owned by for-profit Eyeo, uBlock is maintained by for-profit uBlock LLC, itself owned by for-profit Betafish Inc (also owner of AdBlock).

I think it might be the case (I have forgotten) but I can't verify right now. My thinking is that those who care about reading the release notes are best placed to install the dev build. I will confirm when I can. Thanks for your assistance regarding the "rejected" issue.
