wow just wow while i can't say i didn't see this one coming but it always amazes me where greed could lead someone
Honestly, using uBO (which is really the only blocker anyone should be using) I never see those popups anyway. And that list apparently causes unintended connections to google servers (warning, there's some drama in this issue between the ublock dev and the list's dev, but gorhill comes off more reasonable here.)
So really, just turn on most of the filter lists in uBO settings as per your need and you should be good to go.
lol I've seen plenty of social media drama, but this is probably the most hilarious drama I've ever seen. Imagine getting into a fight on the GitHub issue tracker. 😆
It's happened a couple of times by now, last time was the developer of node-ipc being roasted for shipping malware in production that thrashed hard drives if it detected a Russian IP address
Discussion at the end degrades into name calling
This was quite interesting and also incredibly cringe on the dev's part.
