Anybody know how I can get Adblock working again? (infosec.pub)

I've checked the boxes for the extension. On the browser toolbar I've chosen "Allow for all websites". I've also restarted the browser. It still doesn't work and just gives that message about permissions (pictured).

Firefox on macOS has functioning add-ons/extensions.

[–] FarraigePlaisteach@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Firefox is my preferred browser. But Safari supports standalone web apps so I use it for some things.

uBlock Origin only supports Safari versions prior to 12 or 13. But apparently AdGuard is recommended as of 2023 so thanks for helping me think outside of the box. Reference: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34377582

Update: Same problem. I wonder if Apple might have a deal with Google to stop these plugins working on their websites.

Which website? AdGuard works well for me.

[–] FarraigePlaisteach@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

YouTube. I’m having the same problem with AdGuard

[–] 2xsaiko@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Weird. These are the extensions I have and it works fine usually. (Same on the Mac)

Try Vinegar additionally maybe?

[–] FarraigePlaisteach@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

That's interesting. I'm on desktop, though. They're not always comparable.

[–] 2xsaiko@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 4 months ago

No they aren't, but as I said it works on the Mac as well (though there I have Extract enabled instead of Vinegar, just checked). In fact on the Mac works a lot more reliable for me.

[–] FarraigePlaisteach@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Thanks. I misread your last message. I can't find Extract in the free or paid extensions. Did you get it from a website?

[–] 2xsaiko@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Right, it should come with Vinegar. https://apps.apple.com/de/app/vinegar-tube-cleaner/id1591303229?l=en-GB

[–] FarraigePlaisteach@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Oh, now I understand. Thank you again!

[–] 2xsaiko@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 4 months ago

I hope it works!
