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.

Sure, but there's no other alternatives to it, at least none which give the same matrix/grid style editor. I'm willing to accept the potential attack surface caused by running an unmaintained addon, as it currently does reduces it far more than i would think increase.

Fair, for me personally running a privacy oriented addon that is unmaintained and thus cant keep up with new developments seems not worth it. But I get your point. I wish uMatrix wasnt abandoned.

i've never seen this occur

uBlock Origin isnt just an adblocker, but a wide spectrum blocker. It wouldnt necessarily show itself by ads suddenly appearing. At least, thats what Gorhill himself says.
