Can't view article without disabling adblocker, didn't read
There's literally a link that says "continue without disabling"
works fine with ublock
The article is behind the Adblock banner. You could use reader mode (if you have it), or block the banner itself
No there isn’t
No
Sound like a “you” problem
Not sure what trash adblocker you run, but it doesn't even send up a warning for UBO.
Not everything that isn't ublock is automatically bad. Especially if you just want an adblocker and not also all the other stuff it comes with
No, but if a product fails to do the one thing it was made to do, it’s bad.
What else does uBlock Origin come with? Like, content filtering, yes, but that’s pretty fundamentally coupled with ad blocking.
Given the implication that uBO is bloated, I’d also love to know what other adblockers you’ve been using that are more performant and/or less resource-intensive than uBO. The benchmarks I’ve seen show uBO performing better than ABP, but those metrics are all several years old at this point.
