According to recent user reports, uBlock Origin is quickly disappearing from the Chrome Web Store. The official page for the ad-blocking extension now states that it is unavailable because it doesn’t comply with Chrome’s “best practices” for add-ons. However, we can confirm that the page is still accessible from our EU Windows client.

    Soon, users will have to choose between accepting Chrome’s inferior ad-blocking technology or switching to a different browser.

    Doesn’t seem like a terribly difficult choice. Firefox it is.

        I think it does, but only blocks competing advertisers

        (Note: I actually have no clue if they do and I’m talking out my ass; that said, I would absolutely not be surprised one bit if they did exactly that)
