uBlock Origin Lite fork that replaces cosmetically-filtered ads with white tiles showing They Live slogans (OBEY, CONSUME, SUBMIT, etc.) via DOM patching and MutationObserver.
Key Takeaways
Fork patches uBO Lite’s CSS injection points in css-specific, css-generic, and css-procedural-api.js to render white-box overlays instead of display:none.
A new they-live.js script holds the phrase list, CSS generator, and DOM tagging logic; a MutationObserver handles late-loaded ads.
Only cosmetic-filtered ads get replaced; network-blocked ads (uBO Lite’s default Basic mode) produce no DOM element and are unaffected – Optimal or Complete mode required.
Install is unpacked Chromium extension from a zip release; Node 22 required to build from source via tools/make-mv3.sh.
Caveats: forcing hidden elements visible can shift page layout; custom user cosmetic filters still hide normally; GPL-3.0.
