Custom filters and various uBO and uMatrix related things

I made these for my personal use. I'm sure a lot of the filters here will actually break some useful sites. Please be cautious and check ublock's logger to see what is getting filtered out, and comment out any problamatic filter. Use only the filters you're interested in. You might find some useful stuff like the cosmetic filters for MAL.

I'm relatively new to making filters, so please let me know if I messed up the syntax somewhere or if there are better ways to write them.

How to use

Get uBlock Origin from gorhill's github repository. You will find a detailed guide to installation in the README.md file. Everything about uBlock Origin is explained in great detail in there.

General support

If you have questions about uBO or need help with a particular site, you can ask on the mozilla forum, the subreddit or here.

Disqus placeholder

Disques placeholder was made by gorhill some time ago. The filters only work in uBO, because he added the necessary surrogate scripts to make it work.

Disqus is a popular blog comment hosting service. The purpose of the Disqus placeholder filter is to prevent Disqus from loading on it's own. Doing so will load pages faster and serve to increase your privacy as well.

To use it, you can simply copy paste the contents into your "My Filters" tab or add the list just like you add custom filters via URL. You can find more information in gorhill's gists.

Recommended browser: Firefox (Dev-edition or Nightly. Regular Firefox works too.)

Recommended add-ons: uBlock Origin, uMatrix, Greasemonkey, NoScript.

It is highly recommended that you start to use uMatrix, another extension by the same developer, after you get the hang of using uBlock Origin. It gives you more control over the cookies, scritps, iframes and the third party contents.

Note: uBlock Origin is NOT the same as uBlock.

Stuff happened, the project was split, uBlock died fast, gorhill came back to revive the project etc. etc.
