AdBlock got bought

[bl4uni]

AdBlock got bought by an unknown buyer. This unknown buyer turned on "acceptable ads", which basically means you will see a lot of ads, even with AdBlock. Nobody knows who the buyer is or what he will or already has changed.

I highly suggest you to deinstall AdBlock immediately and change to an alternative, e.g. uBlock Origin:
Firefox:
https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/
Chrome:

You may use AdBlockPlus
This is not the same, is it?

There is an option that disables acceptable ads thing. You dont need to uninstall adblock

I already use Ublock much better in my oppinion

The only thing ublock lacks is different custom filter lists.

No, they are different companies. uBlock was just an example.

Still, you don't know what this "unknown buyer" will do with the add-on. Maybe a silent update and AdBlock starts spying on you? This has happened before with Browser Add-Ons being bought.

The only thing ublock lacks is different custom filter lists.

chrome://ublock0/content/dashboard.html
This should be the URL where you can edit your filters. You can select from a big variety of lists and even add your own custom filters.

I know . I was talking about creating yourself custom filters (that you can do) and putting them in lists (there's only one list for all your custom filters)

That is correct. It's a little unhandy but maybe they will add this.

I hope they will
