Apropos of nothing: it's interesting that a page pushing Go so emphatically is built[0] using the Rust-based Zola rather than the Go-based Hugo.

Just as one example: Chrome + uBOL on Reddit will show you plenty of "Sponsored" stuff. You can use Inspector to find the offending CSS classes and then use `display: none` on them with something like Stylus[0], but not everybody wants to play that whack-a-mole game on the many sites that push uBOL past its blocking capabilities.

Reddit's sponsored posts are blocked by default in uBOL when using _optimal_ (default) or _complete_ mode.


I will recheck my uBOL settings, then, sir. Thank you for your work!

EDIT: I did have it set to `Complete,` so perhaps I have something else going on.


Best is to report the issue using the "Report an issue" in the popup panel while on Reddit site. There could be other issues causing this, for instance if you didn't grant uBOL the permission to inject scripts on the site. Depending on which browser/os the issue occurs, we should be able to narrow down potential causes.


As the creator of UBO, what are your thoughts on uBO vs uBOL? Do you think Firefox’s MV3 will be an issue down the line?


> There could be other issues causing this, for instance if you didn't grant uBOL the permission to inject scripts on the site.

Bingo. That was it. Again, thanks.


Pepperidge Farm remembers that commercial.

Yes, especially when a simple look at the source code showed what was "hidden." Not only aggravating, but amateurish.


Drives like these and the Syquest drives were essential for desktop publishing well into the early 2000s. I sent many such drives to various printing facilities --- or, sometimes (and, here, I really date myself) separate PostScript bureaus --- to obtain high-res, color-separated film for four-color commercial printing, either by local printers or magazines who would run ads for my employers of the time.


I was just trying to remember the Syquest name. I remembered their products being popular in mac labs (I was a teen at that time).

For a while I badly wanted a zip drive or the (syquest) ez 135 for personal use. But by the time I could afford that stuff I had a scsi board and cd writer… which was clearly the way.


Backblaze's B2 storage is fine if used with a separate app over which you have more control. Others here have mentioned Arq. I have used it, as well as Kopia[0] and Blinkdisk[1] (Blinkdisk is essentially Kopia but with a nicer UI). Can recommend all three highly; the latter two are FOSS.
