Where were you when uBlock became a bloated piece of shit full of useless stuff that will break as soon as the autist in command no longer has time or interest to work on it? https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases/tag/1.3.7b16

Remember: he gave up the original extension on fucking April Fool's Day for the first teenager who asked for it. When he gets bored again, uBlock will cease to exist, because nobody is gonna work on all useless crap he has been adding to it.
>>
All of those things are useful for content blocking related activities. It's not like he added a torrent client.
>>
>>51726737
don't see how any of those features in the changelog are useless, and even if he ceases development it will likely get picked up by competent developers as it is the best adblock solution currently available, and even if it doesn't it's not like the extension is going to stop working suddenly, we'll be able to use it for a long time until the browsers ruin their extension systems. stop being a hyperbolic retard.

>>51726737
>this is what it's like to be legally retarded
Thanks for making me feel better, OP.
>>
>>51727120

took the words right out of my keyboard

started doing that hosts file blocking and policeman+noscript.

going well desu. still have ublock origin on the browser, might change soon.
>>
>>51726737
stop using ublock and start using ublock origins.
>>
>>51726737
>useless
redirection is useful, he's already used it like noscript's script surrogates, neutering google analytics
support for adguard filters is useful, more filterlists, more shit to block
how is blocking popunder advertisements useless either?
I'm sorry OP, what "useless stuff" are you talking about?

>I'm sorry OP, what "useless stuff" are you talking about?

ultimately, it seems like he was talking about himself.

It happened as soon as he implemented "dynamic filtering"

why the fuck does ublock crash my mozilla everytime I go on youtube

every single time I try to watch a video there it crashes

am I the only one having this problem
>>
>>51730813
when you disable the addon does youtube work fine
>>
>>51730838
yes and it runs faster too
>>
>>51730838
>>51730977
wait nevermind it still crashed on me again

my only other addon is Scriptish and video download

I wonder what the fuck is going on
>>
Remind me again, but is Ghorshill the guy who runs ublock or ublock orgin?
>>
>>51730813
Stop using ublock and use ublock origin instead.

Also, are you using 32-Bit Fireofx or 64-Bit firefox?
>>
>>51731073
pretty sure it's 64

health report says its coming from applications

Looking forward to blocking popunders desu
>>
>>51726737
Okay.
Either you are (one of the?) ABP shills, or you are just extremely retarded.
There are no features that I would deem superfluous.
Look at the deprecated state of aljewdi's ublock and compare it to ublock origin. gorhill has made this addon futureproof for coming advertising advances that make it almost impossible to block ads.
>>
>>51731046
Origin, and he's no shill. He's the original developer.
>>
>>51726737
This OP is clickbait. Stop falling for uBlock shilling.
>>
>>51726737
>Redirection

Oh fuck I always wanted this. So many sites with annoying javascript placed in the same script as the useful one. Now I can rewrite it myself and redirect to it. Genius!
>>
>>51726737
These are all good additions you double-nigger.
Sites are getting increasingly jew and adding shady shit to work around adblockers.
uBlock Origin is the only one keeping up.

ABP, AdBlock etc. = BTFO
>>
>>51726737
Why not just using a fucking hosts file plus YesScript.
>>
>>51736884
>2015
>suggesting host file

that solution was outdated when people first started using it that way
>>
I really liked AdBlock EDGE because memes

Why did the development of such great tool stop?
>>
>>51737314
>Why did the development of such great tool stop?
**This addon has been discontinued
Reason: Discontinued in favor of Ublock Origin, a general purpose blocker, that not only outperforms Adblock Edge but is also available on other browsers and, of course, without "Acceptable Ads Whitelist".

Nobody answered OP's question. >:c
I was at home, OP! I believe I was getting laid at that time. Idiot.
>>
>>51727745
Isn't that the same thing?
>>
If you're so mad, why don't you make your own extension?

Google Chrome's APIs are dead simple to learn.
>>
>>51738220
Ublock Origin is a fork made by a hobbyist. If you want the real thing from the uBlock development team, get it from the official site: https://ublock.org

Pure bullshit propaganda written to get donations from clueless users.

Check it out : https://ublock.org - OFFICIAL and HTTPS

>>51739466
Gorhill doesn't take donations?
>>
>>51739512
This is what he tells you moronic nerds who use Firefox to keep you on his side.

Try installing the Chrome version. The version thing the extension does is to beg for donations.
