I literally haven’t seen anyone even mention it anywhere on the internet as if it never existed, when it comes to Ad blockers I always see uBO recommended with absolutely no mention whatsoever of ABP why? What makes it better than ABP? What happened to it? or maybe I’m wrong and ABP is not as well known as I think it is.

I have been using ABP for many years until someday don’t remember when I switched to uBO because I read that it is “the best ad blocker”.

I maybe need a history lesson as everything on the matter seems so vague to me and the whole situation is super weird

    Except it’s less likely to be donation based and more likely to be fee based.

    The fact that you’re aware of any kind of ad blocking for Netscape reinforces my position that blocking was a leader in the arms race

      And I think the overwhelming majority of us are fine with that. Your response is equal parts facepalmingly ridiculous and nostalgic. I appreciate it in a way you probably won’t understand for a long while.

        I think you’re wrong on the overwhelming majority and that they’ll still be fine with it should it happen.

        Good luck I guess
