I wonder if uBO in TB will finally happen now.

To me it seems more likely that uBO gets removed from Tails by default but we shall see…

TIL Tor and Tails are from different companies…?

This was my first thought as well. Now–with the addition of Tails–two of the Tor affiliated projects (Mullvad Browser and Tails) ship w/ uBO out of the box.

Last I recall hearing, the Tor project was considering/discussing it, and somewhat receptive to the idea, of adding either uBO or uBOL or something similar, but I didn’t get the impression it was a matter of priority/urgency or something there was strong consensus around. More info on the discussion forum also discussed at the 2023 Gothenburg meeting But this bullet point on their todo list gives some hope:

  • sync w/ Tails devs re what block lists they are using so we can converge/have the same thing"

Tor now seriously considérés adding uBo in For…Seems likely to be included in next major release if uBo is collaborating.

Adding a MV2 extension to something as sensitive as TB wouldn’t make sense. I would have no issues with uBO Lite, but I am not sure if TB and Tails developers even considered it.
