Thumbs up. The only other time I've seen teaming like this out of the blue all of a sudden is in joint scams. Their behavior is so odd.

It hasn't be offered at AMO. I haven't a clue if it works with Firefox nor do I have any reason to believe that it will ever get there.

Likely true believers rather then scammers. If I thought there was any threat here it would be in locked :). As a group, the mods around here are not the sort to suffer things that should not be suffered.

Since, it is never has been discussed before on this forum. One can expect to know little of it.
What i am feeling sad about it is. People here aren't willing to go and read github wiki or on the internet, before confirming it as some joint scam.

Gorhill is from Canada. So, he will not be able to comment on this thread for the next 3-5 hours..

And yes it works for firefox now. The main issue it faces was with Firefox derivatives are about cosmetic part, which was listed here - https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/issues/550
