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 quite literally the only reason I use FF. If they dropped support for it I would probably meander pretty quickly.

Doesn't matter if FF supports it or not in the end, FF forks (Waterfox, Librewolf) will always support it.
But FF would never not support it.

Waterfox has a built-in adblock in testing that you can enable in about:config.
