<p>Well, in oder to properly view RSS feeds or HTML mails you often
have to allow remote content. <br>
</p>
<p>In order to ensure that it is only allowed what is absolutely
necessary I have blocked everything (RED) in the <b>global</b>
column in Dynamic Filtering. In the <b>local</b> column only
those cells get a <i>noop</i> rule (GREY) which are necessary to
make the mail readable. I save those rules with the padlock for
every RSS feed and every sender from which I regularly get HTML
mails.<br>
</p>
<p>This means:</p>
<p>- Everything else (often 3rd party mail trackers) is still
completely blocked regardless if there are corresponding rules in
the filter lists.</p>
<p>- For those cells with noop rules existing rules from the filter
lists (Easylist, EasyPrivacy etc.) are still applied.</p>
<p>Note also that this strategy also mitigates risks from flaws in
"browser or browser-like contexts" (e.g.

Particularly if you have to allow javascript in RSS feeds.</p>

<pre wrap="">Hello,
one of the most important add-ons for me in Thunderbird is uBlock Origin
(which is one of the most popular add-ons for Firefox). It's way more
powerful than other blockers (like Adblock Plus) as its Dynamic Filtering
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Dynamic-filtering:-quick-guide" moz-do-not-send="true">https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Dynamic-filtering:-quick-guide</a>
makes it possible to provide a very fine-grained control of what is
allowed in RSS feeds and HTML mails. As a result it is, e.g., very
effective in stopping email tracking.
The legacy version of uBlock Origin works well in Thunderbird 52.x but
obviously no longer in Thunderbird 60 beta (see
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/issues/3698" moz-do-not-send="true">https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/issues/3698</a>). Unfortunately, its
author gorhill says that support for the legacy version for Thunderbird
will not happen (see
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/issues/117#issuecomment-381641188" moz-do-not-send="true">https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/issues/117#issuecomment-381641188</a>).
On the other hand according to
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird/Add-ons_Guide_57" moz-do-not-send="true">https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird/Add-ons_Guide_57</a> webextension
support is not yet available.
This leads to the unfortunate situation that the legacy version of uBO
will soon *no longer* work while the webextension version will *not yet*
work in Thunderbird.
So my question is: Can someone modify the legacy version to make it work
in TB 60? I know that Jörg has done this for some other add-ons -
perhaps he can step in here, too? This would be highly appreciated :-)
The latest legacy version is avialable from
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases" moz-do-not-send="true">https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases</a> as uBlock0.firefox.xpi.
Best regards,
Thomas
