From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I don't really trust these adblockers... Has anyone tried using Greasemonkey or any of the equivalent script environments for adblocking? I know it's posdible, but I could not find any good scripts available? Has anyone found any good scripts on github (or other places) for this?
Why would you trust Greasemonkey and some random script over uBlockOrigin?
Also it might be possible to do it partly but performance would inevitably be worse and I'm not sure every functionality would be implementable.
Firemonkey is open-source, random scripts can easily be inspected. I know performance probably will suck, but I know the code being run don't monitor me. Can you say the same for uBlock?
uBlock is licensed under the GPL-3, I can absolutely say the same
