I used to vouch for AdBlockPlus, sometimes extensions change for the worse. They can he hijacked too. HN readers are a small subset of Chrome users. There are many malicious pages out there that attempt to get you to install malicious extensions and the average user will blindly listen. Most people will not check the source, or even reviews.
Yep, when chrome started forcing "logins" to the browser whenever you log in to their services, I knew it was time for me to stop relying on Google's browser.
I used to like 'other thing', and one time 'other thing' changed.
It went bad so therefore 'thing you are talking about' could go bad too.
Other unrelated grouping is a small part of bigger, more important grouping.
There are many bad places that try to do many bad things and bigger, more important grouping will listen.
Therefore, existing and functional solution that is currently being broken here is irrelevant.
Do you even hear the completely irrelevant cynicism? let's all go jump off a building.
