    Huh… So you’re not using the product the article is referring to?

      No I use u-block origin. The very product the article is referring to.

      I just use it in Firefox so I am completely unaffected by this.

      It’s a great feel.

        It’s about Chrome. Using Firefox is unrelated to the article.

          It’s about uBlock Origin not working on chrome.

            So what does Firefox have anything to do with it then?

                Weird. You spent 3 days defending Firefox for an article that has nothing to do with Firefox… You just wanted to say Firefox for some weird reason…
