Are people still installing Adblock Plus? It has had an Acceptable Ads Committee for over a decade now. What were people using if not that? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Tlaloc_Temporal@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago I stopped using that when it stopped working. Is there a working version? I thought they got kiked off the app store for "interfering with internet data" or something. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Reddfugee42@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago You can't be genuinely curious by asking a question answered in the source. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago More like most people don't have the patience to learn the difference between uBlock and UBlock Origin.
