So when you want to post a lemmy post, it asks for a URL, if you provide a URL of, say, youtube or bandcamp an embed will load when you enter the comments section.

Basically I want this

into

And if anyone knows how to block all images in general, except from a few whitelists (lemmy sites, catbox, etc) that would be really helpful.

You could enable advanced mode I uBlock and then disable “3rd party” in the uBlock popup. Then allow list the few sites you want to see content from.

Yep. Settings > I am an advanced user (All the way at the bottom of the page). On the Filter Lists tab, I checked everything except ‘Regions, languages’ This lets you ‘dial in’ what you want on your network and what you don’t. After a while of looking at the CNDs, and all the data points in Ublock for a particular site, you start to get a feel for what to block and what not to block.

There are color shades in UBlock that represent different types of blocks and allows. See here: github.com/…/Dynamic-filtering:-quick-guide. As you select what to block, you will find that other sites use the same CDNs, etc, so once you have allowed or denied certain ‘services’ you don’t have to do it for all sites.

Yes I can see what you mean, as I can disable individual websites from the UI. :\ This seems like uBlock 101, I should’ve really read about this. So thank you!
