Ecosia asks to disable ad blockers so they can earn money to plant trees, but I found that they explain it for several ad blockers, including Ublock, but not Ublock Origin. Do they think it’s the same?

    The FBI says (or at least used to, who knows now that we’re the bad guys) to use ad blocking as a matter of cybersecurity.

    I don’t care who it is, all my ad blockers stay on.

      Anecdotal, but every company I have worked for has banned using ad blockers, I’m guessing the risk from ads is lower than allowing extensions to read and modify all of your webpage data?

      I use them on all of my personal devices.
