just fork it you dumb faggot

someone already has, this thread is for the people unaware that a very widely used addon is now literally sending all of your browsing activity to an ad company

I'll stay on version 2.0.7 until a better alternative comes along, considering how well it works on top of being GPLv3 there's little chance this will be a big deal.

What is an addon creator to do after reaching market saturation and seeing revenue from donations dry up? If they sell out completely like adblock did a competitor or fork will eat their user base. In this case their partnership with a data mining firm seems only to apply to people in the userstyles community and not the users of the addon.

Calling it malware is a bit of a stretch.

a tidbit from the linked thread:

>I installed Stylish (v 1.6.3) from the Chrome store to investigate. I did not install any user styles. I went to the front page of Hacker News, and the Network tab in the dev tools of Stylish showed a POST to "api.userstyles.org/tic/stats" (I added a space in URL to prevent URL parsing). I randomly clicked on a link on the page and another POST was made to "api .userstyles.org". I manually entered the URL of the page here in a new tab and another POST was made to "api .userstyles.org".

2.0.7 appears safe, as these requests do not occur.

thunder lol

Fucking kikes.


What's the fork called?

You should have addons updates disabled for Firefox < 49 anyway[1], update them manually.

btw this fucking site stopped working with NoScript since it was compromised/sold to kikes. Any alternatives? I'm mostly on IRC these days.

[1]

uBlock Origin / uMatrix.

I regularly use this site with Dillo and with the Tor Browser Bundle with the security slider all the way up (which includes NoScript blocking everything). It works for me. What kind of problems are you having?

You're mostly a fucking retard who does not know what they're talking about and fucks up cause/effect.

echo 'user_pref("extensions.update.enabled", false);' >> ~/.mozilla/firefox//user.js

Disable extention updates. This will keep this this spyware at 2.0.7 for now.

Never used it, but it's terrible how much this shit is being shoved into software now days.


What the fuck are you talking about?

Or you can just turn off auto-updates for this extension specifically, under addons, and not be a total fucking retard who neglects updates.

You're right. It isn't NoScript, it's the referer. 8ch doesn't accepts posts without a referer. I was confusing it with 4chan. It's the only website I use which complains about this. See network.https.sendRefererHeader, network.http.sendSecureXSiteReferrer (sic), network.http.referer.spoofSource, network.http.referer.XOriginPolicy. It's one of those that breaks it.

I'm talking about 8ch.

You can post on 4chan without JS enabled, you just can't use the catalog which makes the faster boards unusable.

This is the one.

Every video broadcasting website in existence breaks if you don't send real referers.

As if the advertiser newspeak and the fact that it's opt-out isn't warning enough, this bitch starts talking. If it's really to help the add-on, why do you have full-time staff to desperately defend your terrible decision?

We at stylish wish to give you the best user experience possible which is why we have hired full time staff to assure that your data will flow freely to us uninterrupted. Since this add-on is free to use, you are the product and she will manage you.

This is the kind of situation that makes me wish I had a stash of good reaction faces

Why even live?

...

The OS?

Mozilla says this won't happen in firefox

reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/5lwc0d/announcement_to_the_community_stylish/dbz9rya/

Such as? I use mpv (youtube-dl) for everything. I know YouTube works in my browser though, I just prefer mpv as player.

No, the browser. I don't think there's any operating system called Dillo.

...

So do I, but it doesn't work with obscure porn sites.

Use Inspect Element on the player frame and 9/10 you'll find the .mp4 link in seconds. You might have to allow some domains to go through if you're blocking them with ublock or request policy.

One quirk of disabling javascript and going through the source is seeing hidden messages becomes commonplace. Sometimes they're asking for job applicants.

Or you could update manually like a system administrator and not have to ask mozilla to stop raping your bandwidth.

Never change, Holla Forums.

>You should have addons updates disabled for Firefox < 49 anyway

tfw been using v24 for 3 years because of their bullshit in the updates

someone already made a fork stop complaining

Read thread nigger

If they're going to do something like this, I don't want their plugin anymore, I'd rather use a fork.

The addon was used for garbage reasons anyway.

userContent.css is a thing. Only dumb niggers use that addon.

Man they have their head so far up their ass. What is this, product manager, "here at stylish, we..." IT'S A FUCKING BROWSER ADD-ON that let's you use themes, for fucks sake. How do they even have a team for that? It's something you make in a few weeks and then fix bugs once in a while with new browser versions.

You could use this:
addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stylrrr/?src=api

Fork it yourself then. No one is going to bother maintaining a firefox fork when this isn't going to happen on firefox.

so it's just an extension that makes shittily made web 2.0 websites look less shit or normal websites more tacky?

don't people who use this shit claim they have nothing to hide?

It's an extension that lets you inject CSS on a per domain or specific URL basis.

I am vision impaired and use it here to change font and background colors so I can more easily read.
I also use it on streaming sites to remove other elements than the video div.

Same

I also use it to remove stupid bullshit elements (like "WE USE COOKIES TO TRACK YOU CLOSING THIS MEANS YOU ACCEPT IT") that pop up in certain sites every time unless you enable cookies when you close it.

Hell, my only "vision impairment" is nearsightedness and I still make heavy use of userstyles to reduce eyestrain on frequently visited sites. About the only one I'm missing is for the ticketing system at work.

I'm pretty sure there's some EU law that requires that to be visible so watch out if you're doing this in Europistan.

Welcome to open source. You have a choice.

The propietary alternative is to eat shit and have your privacy raped.

disabled cookies is bad. it leaves an identifier
enable cookies, then use something that makes non-whitelisted cookies self destruct, like Self-Destructing Cookies for firefox. if you do it like that, you both do not leave an additional identifier and don't have unwanted cookies, all while making dealing with cookies easier

Well then I guess you'd better arrest me officer

If you want to go down that path, you shouldn't customize your browser/computer at all or use any plugins, because there will always be some kind of "identifiers" for you.

I knew someone like you would reply. Like clockwork.

there is the no Resource URI leak add-on...

Isn't it similar to what the tor browser suggests?

You're the one telling people to give up.

a bit booty blasted, user? your post makes no sense

What's wrong with User Style Manager, Website Theme Manager, superUserContent?


While I agree, that's only on gecko. And while on gecko, how do you contextualize domains to their URL paths?
