Yeah, that’s happening because you installed and enabled those plugins, and as long as they are maintained, they will be getting updates from time to time.

any drawbacks or disadvantages of using Jackett and Prowlarr.

Not that I know of. You’d have to configure flaresolverr because of certain websites cannot be accessed if you don’t pass the CAPTCHA, and that’s about it.

Edit: Yeah, I checked now that I was on the computer and seems that I was wrong. Checking for updates installs and enables a small list of plugins without any more input from the user, and even though they are open source, that is not cool.

If you are on the “Search” tab and click on “Search plugins” and check for updates (like on the gif above) you can check if they are installed and if they are enabled, from there right click them to do whatever you want.

Here you have the subscene dump sorted by language.

And here you have some other sites that could be worth checking.

Are you talking about search plugins? If you are, that’s expected behaviour.

“Note that python plugins/scripts are, by its nature, not considered to be safe. Therefore any use of the unofficial plugins is at your own risk. It is a good practice to audit/take a look at the plugin/script before you install.” (From the link)

Have a look at Jackett or Prowlarr (and the rest of the arr suite), it would greatly reduce your attack surface if you are worried about that and they are very easy to set up if you look for the servarr wiki.

Sorry, I didn’t even notice the Android part. Glad you could fix it!

If you are using Firefox just go to the github repo that someone linked above, go to “Releases” and then download the clean-latest.xpi file. Firefox will install it for you.

If using Chrome, I would guess it to be the same, but the right file would be the .crx one.

If you are not using Firefox+uBO you really should, though!

Thank you! I wondered before how it was done this way.

I’m sorry, I’m new at this. How do you do it?
