Meanwhile, tons of well established trustworthy add-ons that have been around for years don't manage to get this special treatment. They're just pushing their own snowflake agenda.) Just look at Mozilla's pleasly 2000 user addon B!tch to Boss that's only been around for a few months and is already recommended. In practice, it's just a way for Mozilla to redirect people towards extensions they like, while hiding extensions they don't. But experience tells us that neither the initial review nor the recommended review can guarantee privacy or security, and is at best, a spam filter. All add-ons already go through a manual review process, whether recommended or not, and in theory, should already be vetted at this first stage. It's about time that people realize that "Recommended extensions" means nothing. u/15616165487 suggests an excellent solution. This is extremely disrespectful to Adguard devs and every filter maintainer out there. Note: I am not affiliated with any adblocker or anything, just a user with genuine concerns about this extension.Įdit: u/bershanskiy noted, both Ghacks and Gorhill (Dev of ublock origin) found this extension a direct copycat of Adguard and reported their findings to Mozilla back in mid 2019.Ĭonsidering Adblocker Ultimate has nearly 2x users of adguard despite stealing code from adguard and adblock plus and the fact they force their donation page every time you install/uninstall their extension, they have obviously profited from others' work.
