  "textContent": "With Chromium-based browsers adopting MV3 which is known to be less effective at blocking ads, how many users have moved to DNS filtering instead for ad-blocking? Like not even bothering adding more extensions and using uBlockDNS instead? It seems like unless you need cosmetic filtering or per-page rules UBO is optional? There’s obviously nothing preventing you from using both solutions, add it as an extension and then do your filtering at the DNS level with UBD.\n\nIt’s free, doesn’t require an email for registration and provides backup codes to access your account to add devices. Not associated with them and I don’t think the two projects are related.\n\nuBlock Origin\n\n### uBlock Origin - Free, open-source ad blocker extension\n\nuBlock Origin is a free, open-source ad blocker extension and content blocker. Block ads on YouTube, Twitch, and across the web with low CPU and memory usage. Available for Firefox, Edge, Opera, and Chrome via uBlock Origin Lite.",
