Google is purging ad-blocking extension uBlock Origin from the Chrome Web Store | TechSpot
www.techspot.com

According to recent user reports, uBlock Origin is quickly disappearing from the Chrome Web Store. The official page for the ad-blocking extension now states that it is unavailable because it doesn’t comply with Chrome’s “best practices” for add-ons. However, we can confirm that the page is still accessible from our EU Windows client.

    So THIS is why all the Firefox hit pieces have been surfacing recently….

    Suddenly the picture becomes clearer lol.

    I’m not surprised, they have been threatening this for awhile, put the timing of the hit pieces, and then this…… answers a lot of questions

      To be fair, Mozilla is making some choices regarding Firefox that are pretty controversial; most of us don’t like many of the decisions being made and have legitimate frustrations.

        Sure, and that’s meaningful, but the problem is that many articles are getting major details and entire concepts wrong and publishing statements that are so inaccurate that it feels like bullshit.

        Like the advertising counter is nowhere near how it’s been represented over and over in various unknown blogs.

        Very much has the feel of a FUD campaign
