Hey guys,
I’m trying again since Reddit isn’t cooperating, lol! I couldn’t edit the title to make it less misleading. Anyway, I want to block accessibility overlays from Accessibee, UserWay, EqualWeb, and AudioEye using UBO filters.
I have a Chrome extension for this, but since I switched back to Firefox because of MV3, it’s becoming a bigger problem. The overlays are right on top of the page, blocking my RSS userscripts from working and just getting in the way. They invade my privacy, too. If I want to install an extension that messes with my privacy, that’s on me, but I shouldn’t have to visit websites and have my privacy invaded by companies just trying to avoid lawsuits. This whole situation is also misleading because of recent cases.
I totally get where you’re coming from—these overlays can be really intrusive. When I switched to Firefox from Chrome, I faced similar issues with blocking unwanted elements and privacy concerns. For blocking accessibility overlays like those from Accessibee, UserWay, EqualWeb, and AudioEye in Firefox, you can use uBlock Origin (UBO) with custom filters. Adding specific filters to your UBO setup can help block these overlays and prevent them from interfering with your scripts. It’s a hassle dealing with privacy invasions from these tools, and customizing your ad blocker is a good way to take control back.
Yes, uBlock Origin (UBO) can block accessibility overlays.
Although it’s usually best to avoid blocking accessibility features, if you find a particular overlay disruptive or interfering with your browsing, you can use UBO’s custom filtering rules to target and block it.
