A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Does anyone check that updated versions pushed to the extension store, match the available source, and have no extra "features" included?

uBlock (not Origin) was also open source, then it got sold to AdBlock, which also had been sold, to a company that charges advertisers to bypass it.

uBO is in Firefox' "recommended add-ons" list which are reviewed after every update.
