Google's anti-ad scripts are breaking browsers and privacy plugins. It could get worse because Google controls the ad market, Chrome, and the extension store.

    Have you followed the instructions in the devs' Reddit thread? (At the bottom of the thread, they also have a section of instructions for people who've already gone through the process of purging their filters before.)

    Also, make sure nothing else (ex. another adblocker, including your browser's built-in adblocker) is causing issues.
