question

why does "acceptable advertising" redirect to Adblock Plus? i'm not really a wikipedia genius, so i'm not going to delete it as there might be a good reason behind it 2600:1702:170:2D30:400:E0E4:32CE:ACD1 (talk) 21:21, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing out that "Easter egg" link. I made changes which should clarify. Wire723 (talk) 12:11, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

uMatrix

I'm a long-term uMatrix user and have always known there is some kind of relationship between uBlock and uMatrix, but now I read online that the uMatrix extension is no longer supported at Google Play for Chrome, and so I came to Wikipedia to research uMatrix, and I find no Article besides this one.

Suggestions for improving this article include a section that compares and contrasts uBlock with uMatrix, or maybe a standalone Article for uMatrix.66.25.69.185 (talk) 20:45, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

-== Rename page to uBlock Origin ==

-[[:UBlock]] → {{no redirect|uBlock Origin}} – Suggested on the talk page, and I agree with the suggestion — the app has been renamed uBlock Origin, and the fork that retained the name uBlock is marginally relevant at best.
