Huh... So you're not using the product the article is referring to?
No I use u-block origin. The very product the article is referring to.
I just use it in Firefox so I am completely unaffected by this.
It's a great feel.
It's about Chrome. Using Firefox is unrelated to the article.
It's about uBlock Origin not working on chrome.
So what does Firefox have anything to do with it then?
Nothing...
Weird. You spent 3 days defending Firefox for an article that has nothing to do with Firefox... You just wanted to say Firefox for some weird reason..
I spent zero time defending anything.
I made a statement relative to the original article.
I am unaffected by the fact that uBlock will no longer function in chrome because I use Firefox.
You keep trying to infer that Firefox has nothing to do with chrome or the article in and of itself. Which I do not contest.
And yet I still made the statement.
So let me repeat myself. "I am unaffected by this because I use Firefox"
I hope that my continued perceived waste of time annoys you further.
