I had uBlock Origin installed since forever, are people just finding out about it?

More like most people don't have the patience to learn the difference between uBlock and UBlock Origin. Also, a lot of people just install Ad Block because they you tell them to install a ad blocker, they just install the one called AdBlock.

Not really making fun of it, just genuinely curious. Are people still installing Adblock Plus? It has had an Acceptable Ads Committee for over a decade now. What were people using if not that?

I stopped using that when it stopped working. Is there a working version? I thought they got kiked off the app store for "interfering with internet data" or something.

You can't be genuinely curious by asking a question answered in the source.

Tell me you don't understand sarcasm by telling me in writing.
