Any suggestions on how to block third-party requests today (especially in Tor browser)?
I've used extensions like uMatrix for a long time, but now both that and uBlock Origin stopped working in Tor version 11. Strangely, when I tried the Brave browser's Tor function, uMatrix stopped working there too (not right away, but after a little while); which is odd since (unlike Tor Browser) Brave is Chromium-based (can it still be a Tor bug due to say embedded Tor network code?). The uMatrix extension itself has not been updated since summer. I also use a blacklist in the Windows hosts file, but apparently Tor browser ignores the hosts file by design (at least in Windows). Some have suggested using Pi-hole in a Raspberry Pi, any experience? I suppose that could be used as a last resort. https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/pi-hole-raspberry-pi/ |

I reverted to 10.5.10, but then its default setting made it download version 11.0.1. This time the extensions worked until today. Very strange, why break after several days?
Then I had to revert to 10.5.10 again, quickly go into Settings and disable automatic updates before version 11 was downloaded a third time. I only had seconds to do this (unless the installation can be halted as long as you haven't restarted Tor browser?). |
