I hope the dev made a shit ton when he sold.

The best part is that any market "valuation" of AdBlock plummeted as soon as the deal was brokered, like driving a new car off the dealership lot. If the anonymity was a tactic to deter this, it may end up backfiring when the buyer is revealed to be Satan.

Switching browser extensions is such a quick and easy process, and Ublock (which is just one amongst many other pieces of software) provides an immediately effective replacement.

Whoever bought it doesn't strike me as intelligent, but I've been wrong before.

Did the same earlier today, and it seems to block and run better than AdBlock to boot. I've known that uBlock is better for a while, but it took this and being linked to it to get me to switch.

Here is a Chrome link for the ultra lazy such as myself:

I have been using uBlock Origin for some months and it's a lot better than AdBlock. I have installed it on Chromium and Iceweasel.

Yeah. I haven't looked into it myself yet, but if Ublock Origin supports Firefox on Linux, I'll swap the same on my pc first thing in the morning.

I'm actually kind of wanting to try out a new Linux distro. I like Mint, but it's kind of unstable, which is dumb cause I literally use it for Internet and word processing. Nothing else.
