Oh I know, I’ve been here for years despite the age of my account. I just migrated from lemm.ee

I tend not to like to name these types of extensions because more exposure puts them at risk, and they’re super easy to find anyway.

    It's better to name known safe options rather than leave it up to user search. The entities that work against extensions like uBO are already well aware of their existence, so hiding their names has no benefit.

    Case in point - uBlock and uBlock Origin are not the same, with the former being a bastardised version that does 'acceptable ads'. There are plenty of other poor blocking options out there for the unsuspecting to stumble into besides that.

    Personal setup is Librewolf/uBO on the client and pfBlockerNG/Snort for network level blocking/additional security layer.

    And welcome to .zip :) Hope you enjoy the new home!
