The extension remains live and featured as of this writing.

The Chrome Web Store should be avoided for security. Google keeps failing at moderaring their store, at the same time kneecaping legitimate adblockers with manifest v3 in the name of security, and failing to remove actual malicious extension after both manual review and dislosure of its behaviour by outsiders.

Running Chrome without any extension isn't ideal either, it would leave people without protection from malvertising and tracking. So better avoid Chrome altogether, use Firefox or Zen Browser or Tor Browser.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
