      Honestly, using uBO (which is really the only blocker anyone should be using) I never see those popups anyway. And that list apparently causes unintended connections to google servers (warning, there’s some drama in this issue between the ublock dev and the list’s dev, but gorhill comes off more reasonable here.) So really, just turn on most of the filter lists in uBO settings as per your need and you should be good to go.

        lol I’ve seen plenty of social media drama, but this is probably the most hilarious drama I’ve ever seen. Imagine getting into a fight on the GitHub issue tracker. 😆

        I didn’t know anything about the drama. Thanks for the heads up, will investigate.

          No problem, I should be thanking you actually because I only found about this after seeing your comment and decided to look up the list to check if it works well with uBO

      I had no idea that this list existed, and even without it, I don’t see any of these popups with uBlock Origin. I was an AdBlock user for years until about 9 months ago when I made the switch after learning that uBlock Origin was more robust. Apparently the devs of AdBlock have a policy against blocking ad block detection because they consider it to be unfair to website owners.
