It's a good thing to be able to communicate without sarcasms when it's not called for.

But I don't think it'll change, feel free to try and make a PR but you'll also need to setup a server to host the releases and update.xml.

You are right, my bad, last change seems to be a year ago.

But uBlock Origin does not set update_url in it's manifest.json so it won't update automatically. You'd have to do it manually every time.

It's really standard to leave some time for users to adapt when making a big change. Especially end users. It's actually a good thing, the "friend showing up" analogy makes no sense.

End of support for users is June 2024.

But it did seem to have changed a year ago or so, my bad.

But if the extension is removed from the store you will not get updates.

I don't get it, the timeline has been known since 2021 and has not changed. We are in the middle of the phase-out. All of this is really predictable.

For system wide DNS blocking you only have two options: use a DNS server with blocking (either your own with something like a piHole our a public one) or use the hosts file.

Got you, 5 servings of fries a day it is.

Depends on the country you're in.

I can't, I forgot most of it. But a little search returned some results:

But it's also true that sometimes it's not done with a pro-piracy stance but they would just rather have it pirated than bought through key-resellers as these can hurt indy-game dev a lot.
