      @Alb087 i don’t see it having more users, or ratings? ublock origin has 7m users, this has 1m. Plus, the websites to this ad blocker you mention seem like commercial. non-open-source software, I wouldn’t doubt that this is spyware.

        But it is under GNU general public licence. Me too doubt it a spyware or not as the source code is not found anywhere.

        (Am not promoting or supporting this addon in anyway).

      Users and ratings can be bought, so reputation is important.

      Even if a piece of software is open source (which this supposedly is), it needs to be well known enough so that professionals are checking the code for vulnerabilities/ bad behaviour.

      Ublock Origin has 7 times the number of users anyways?

      Okay you asked the question, got the answer, and are clearly not listening to what people are saying and still trying to get people to agree this one is just as good…

      Scrap this shitty freemium copycat add on and just use ublock origin.

      It seriously is not that complicated.
