i see no reason to use that over normal ubo. even in china i believe you can get ubo...?

I know. But what about other less tech savy firefox users. I asked is it spam because we can report the addon to firefox.

I would rather trust that mainland china can't use ublock - even less tech savy users would probably avoid a plugin that's written in chinese and would end up far lower on search results.

I'd say not to report something like this

the risk to non-tech-savy is minimal, and the potential usecase is very important to any chinese users
