Anyone have any good information on using ublock origin with tor browser? Does it compromise my anonymity?

It makes sense for it to have a built in ad-blocker. Any idea why they don’t do that?

Madaidan FUD detected once again.
I can totally see how Madaidan can cause fear, uncertainty, and doubt. When I read, for example, his criticisms of Linux, I felt not only that, but also disappointment. You for sure have good reasons to dislike Madaidan and either GraphenOS or the Lemmy GrapheneOS community. But I don’t know them. Could you explain a bit why Madidan and GrapheneOS (or it’s Lemmy community) are problematic? Your answer would help me see what you see :)

Read above comment chain comments too, and notice the other person’s deleted comments for some reason
Edit: the grifter is making claims about
And please, don’t listen to TheAnonymouseJoker. He is known as a troll in basically every privacy community
Here, “every privacy community” refers to NoGoolag and SpiteChat Telegram/Mtarix rooms, both places where madaidan is an admin and his entire pack of extremely racist people shitpost all day. It may also refer to r/privacytoolsio, where blacklight and madaidan seem to be close, toxic friends that call each other for brigading anyone who criticises them. blacklight, r/PTIO mod, once even attacked me after I was banned by trai_dep, the monster in the privacy community that promotes Apple and AMA hosts absolutely disgusting people like Cory Doctorow.
The only FUD around here is you @TheAnonymouseJoker@lemmy.ml
Surely not gonna take the words of !grapheneos@lemmy.ml moderator, are you, readers? This person moderates the GrapheneOS community here.
I would like to tell you that you even begged for moderating TheHatedOne and GrapheneOS communities here. Reveals a lot about you more than me.
Requesting is not begging, hence the purpose of c/community_requests
You seem like an angry person replying out of hate. I’m sorry for whatever it is that happened to you to be this way. It doesn’t give you a right to attack, harass and bully people.
Edit: your behavior is very much like an abuser in real life that gets off on verbally insulting people for your own sick and twisted kicks.
Quite the leap there, with the abuser claims. Be careful with the projection and the sarcasm, it might burn you a little on the inside.
You are just revealing about yourself as you continue to reply to me.
It makes you a bit distinguishable from the people who don’t use an Ad-Blocker. It won’t be enough to identify you, but it does add to your digital fingerprint.
silly comments. Tails is using ublock orgin for Tor browser they ship with.
“Don’t use Tails it ruins your OP sec” lol.

Here’s the thing tho, u block might be good for your threat model. Depends what it is. any way if you are surfing clear web you got more serious opsec concerns.

99% people have zero idea when they give advice using buzzwords. These people are either spreading misinformation, or are grifters (few of them).
If uBlock Origin is creating more attack surface, being a highly vetted, open source addon for REDUCING attack surface, that should tell you about advice you should be taking from such idiots.
I am one of the main people who has brought back focus on threat modelling and opsec, and I am glad that it is also differentiating the grift from the good advice, and not just guiding everyone towards a less tinfoil, more saner path to privacy.

Tails uses it so it souldnt affect your anonymity too much.
i would say use it.
but if you want to blend in perfectly then you should be identical to what most people’s browsing profiles look like.Don’t do it it makes you stand out and ruins your opsec just use noscript
