Blacklist Update!

04/03/25 DMY

Today we gave the AnonymousExtension blacklist a long needed update. This update changed how everything is set up behind the scenes too. Previously we kept everything in one huge complicated text file, can you imagine that?

So the process has been updated. The blacklist will now be maintained in a JSON file and will be "compiled" into the normal blacklist file. Any changes will be made to the JSON file and will be reflected in the main blacklist file when new releases come out.

Enough about the process, in this update we actually removed websites from the blacklist. Don't worry though! We started using more keyword matching instead. So even though we removed some websites, AnonymousExtension actually blocks even MORE trackers, ads, and ip grabbers than before!

Given the improved keyword matching and better maintenance processes you should be able to expect even faster (and more) updates in the future.

Oh yeah, we also updated the website and added a news feed, but your reading on the website right now so you should know that.
