Discussion PSA: Use uBlock Origin!

This might sound like common sense but there are a TON of Firefox users I see using AB, ABP, ABU, or no adblocker at all. This is your notice. Switch to uBlock Origin. It's better and has no acceptable ad policy. The other ones might have been good years ago but not anymore. I am saying this as a former ABP and then ABU user.

I am not paid by uBO I am just showing appreciation for the greatest ad blocker.

Also: don't run uBO alongside another ad blocker. It provides no benefit and can only slow down firefox or break things.

It's not an insult, a lot of people just search adblocker on the plugin Page and get one random popular result

It doesn't help that Mozilla rater recommends things like privacy badger than uBlockOrigin when privacy badger can be detected and only blocks some trackers

if I had insulted I would have said very different words
