Fuck DRMs and fuck these turds
And they went ahead and blocked comments now - "An owner of this repository has limited the ability to comment to users that have contributed to this repository in the past."
Fucking cowards
EDIT: I went ahead and reported the distro as malware. Also, it feels like the internet is about to split in a open internet (basically just like tor) and a corporate internet where if you don't pay the big tech you can't access anything.

Congratulations, guys. You are now internet pariahs. Your unrepentantly mercenary lack of engineering ethics is now recorded for all eternity. You have nobody but yourselves to blame.
Oh do fuck off Google.
Google is hindrance to open web, like IE7 was with ActiveX.
Only difference is that IE7 wanted developers to develop for IE7, while Google also want to fully control the web and bend it according to its needs
So soon we’ll need uBlock Origin FitGirl Edition?
Hopefully we won't have to deal with a uBlock Origin Empress Edition
That's a good way for me to never visit your website again. Honestly, this kinda sounds like the death of the internet if I'm being honest. This would transform it from a free medium into a full blown corporate dystopia. It's really scary to see the digital (corporate) development over the past couple decades. Would be really cool if we don't move further towards some cyberpunk like future where megacorps control everything.
This is super fucked up. I use Stylus extensively to customize the UI on so many sites. Not even for adblocking or that kind of thing, but for accessibility. I actually learned to code many years ago specifically so I could write my own userstyles so that popular websites would be more accessible for me. This is not just predatory on an ads and money level but on an accessibility level too.
I hate the fact that one of the biggest and richest corporations in the world, is just a massive ad spamming dumpster fire. Imagine the good a powerful company like this could do, if 90% of their effort wasn't put into cramming ever more ads into people's eyeballs.
If they overcome / disable ad blocking, they will lose browser market share - and people don't design websites for marginal browsers with exotic features.
Firefox gang come on!
Makes me want to donate to Firefox, not the Mozilla Foundation. To Firefox.
Lets break the near monopoly they have and give what google wants the finger.

You know how nearly every browser is now based on chromium? And firefox when its not chromium, ~~and even forefox adopted the extension limitations of chrome~~? Well I hear Duckduckgo's new browser something new finally instead of based off an existing browser.
It doesn't have extensions yet but those are coming and adblock is baked in.
Ed: my 1st downvotes of my time on the fediverse. <3 you to folks.
