I love that, in a competition between a corporation worth hundreds of billions of dollars and a FOSS project, all Google managed to do was annoy uBlock Origin users for like a week. I just had to manually update the extension and restart my browser a few times.

I have been lucky, no ads, no message. Probably my region gets the updates so late uBlock has already compensated.
