@dm29@mastodon.social @Techaltar@mas.to @frameworkcomputer@fosstodon.org They have fairly non-standard screen dimensions. If I remember correctly from what they've said in the past, it's difficult to get manufacturers to commit to creating an entirely new production line for their needs, given the smaller volume. So it likely isn't just a lack of effort from the framework team.

@dm29@mastodon.social @Techaltar@mas.to @frameworkcomputer@fosstodon.org considering how long they had that panel with rounded corners, I’m guessing getting a perfect one is complicated

@k3ym0 @Kerplunk @QuercusMacrocarpa @ublockorigin Also, just to clarify - the exceptions control hosts traffic TO which gets allowlisted. Outbound requests FROM an allowlisted host still get filtered through Zen.

@k3ym0 @Kerplunk @QuercusMacrocarpa @ublockorigin We added those exclusions because the desktop ChatGPT app complains loudly about MITM, and we'd rather avoid people disabling Zen completely out of frustration. On the telemetry endpoints: thank you for flagging ab.chatgpt.com - I've added a scriptlet similar to uBO's to our filter list and the requests are now blocked: https://github.com/ZenPrivacy/filter-lists/commit/1a1b3c045138abc66d0b47a900f9ed071461d244 Requests to GA were blocked already. Going through other ones in the original post as well.

@k3ym0 @Kerplunk @QuercusMacrocarpa @ublockorigin Exactly. It sets up a local MITM proxy, inspects the request/response flow, blocks or modifies requests, and also injects custom CSS and JS into pages to emulate features that would normally require browser extension APIs. To preempt the question - all proxying is local. The app has to install a root CA, but it's generated on-device and doesn't leave it.

@Kerplunk @k3ym0 @QuercusMacrocarpa @ublockorigin We're building an open-source, system-wide ad-blocker called Zen. It sits outside the browser, so it's unaffected by the artificial limitations of Manifest V3 (among other benefits), so I'd recommend it to anyone still using Chrome. We're aiming for 100% feature parity with uBO and other ad-blockers (already 90% there). Check it out if you're interested: https://github.com/ZenPrivacy/zen-desktop
