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.

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 also open source. So you also can see what it’s doing. So yes, you can say the same thing about ublock
Yes? https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock
uBlock Origin also does a lot more than just block request, I'm not sure features like cname uncloacking would be feasible as an userscript.
