uBlock Origin Instructions

This shows you how to add the filter list to uBlock Origin on a computer device (this guide may differ slightly on mobile devices).

  1. Open uBlock Origin, by clicking on the browser extension found at the top of the browser window.

  1. Next open the settings by clicking on the cogs icon.

  1. Go to the Filter Lists tab.

  1. Click on the Import... which should then show a box, copy and paste one of the following URL's to add the Crypto Firewall filter list:

Lite (stable) Version

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/chartingshow/crypto-firewall/master/src/blacklists/lite-version.txt

Full (stable) Version

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/chartingshow/crypto-firewall/master/src/blacklists/full-version.txt

Mega (stable) Version

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/chartingshow/crypto-firewall/master/src/blacklists/mega-version.txt

Beta (unstable) Version

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/chartingshow/crypto-firewall/master/src/blacklists/beta-version.txt

Recommended versions

The firewall is known to reduce performance slightly and this is why we have several different versions.

Here's a suggested guide based on cpu processors:

  • Intel i3 - use full version (if you experience bad performance then try lite version instead).

  • Intel i5 - use full version (if you experience bad performance then try lite version instead).

  • Intel i7 - use mega version (if you experience bad performance then try full version instead).

  • Intel i9 - use beta or mega versions (if you experience bad performance then try full version instead).

  • AMD Ryzen 3 - use lite version (if you experience bad performance then try full version instead).

  • AMD Ryzen 5 - use full version (if you experience bad performance then try lite version instead).

  • AMD Ryzen 7 - use mega version (if you experience bad performance then try full version instead).

  • AMD Ryzen 9 - use beta or mega versions (if you experience bad performance then try full version instead).

When you have selected the filter list you want to use, click on the "Add" button to add it to your custom filter lists.

Example:

  1. Click on the Apply Changes button.

  1. You should now see the following under a Custom section.

  1. The custom filter list has now been added and you can close uBlock Origin.

Note: Over time the filter lists will get updated and users should repeat steps 1 - 3 and then click on the clock icon next to Block Bad Crypto Filter Lists

After that the clock icon will change and you then click on the Update Now button to get the latest filter list protection.

Crypto Annoyances (Optional Step)

The file block-crypto-annoyances.txt is a filter list that contains rules and filters to block various annoyances and unwanted content specifically related to cryptocurrency websites and related platforms.

You can add this extra filter list by repeating steps 4 and 5 and using this the below url:

Here's a breakdown of what the Crypto Annoyances Block filter list file does:

  1. General Annoyance Blocking:

    • Removes parameters from URLs (like utm_ parameters used for tracking).
    • Blocks cookie consent prompts and banners.
  2. Social Media Blocks:

    • Targets specific elements on social media platforms to remove promoted content.
  3. TradingView Annoyances:

    • Hides popups, notifications and other distracting elements on TradingView.
    • Blocks telemetry and tracking scripts.
  4. Exchange Blocks:

    • Removes compliance banners on Binance, Coinbase and other crypto exchanges.
    • Removes banners and pop-ups.
  5. Crypto Blocks:

    • Targets various cryptocurrency-related websites (CoinGecko, CoinMarketCap, etc.).
    • Hides or removes elements such as ads, banners, social media feeds and other promotional content.

In summary, this filter list aims to provide a cleaner, less distracting experience when browsing cryptocurrency-related websites by blocking common annoyances, ads and tracking mechanisms.
