Gorhill got tired of dozens of "my facebook isnt working plz help" issues. But Gorhill (Raymond Hill) quit and it was forked (sorta). UBlock (not uBlock Origin) used to be great. You might have noticed that I also said "(He has 'quit' before.)" If there’s extension you feel should be Recommended, please email amo-featured mozilla org with a link to its AMO listing page. They have some email for submitting suggestions for recommended extensions, but you can probably also ask questions about already listed extensions: You can probably contact addon reviewers for more information. Maybe safe and secure, because reviewers still review code of XPI file, but for functioning extremly well, I don't think it performs any better than uBlock Origin. Recommended extensions should embody great design and user experience standards.īut I don't think Adblocker Ultimate would fit here, at least not now. Recommended extensions undergo full code review by staff security experts to provide a strong additional security check. For instance, there may be many ad blockers out there, but not all ad blockers are equally effective.īe safe and secure. All Recommended extensions should not only perform as they promise, but do so at an exceptional level. For extensions selected to participate, they’re subject to ongoing re-evaluations to ensure they continue to meet the program’s high standards.įunction extremely well. Our team evaluates all content under consideration for the Recommended Extensions program. This is from Firefox Recommended Extensions Program description: There have also been several recommended extensions that were compromised, while safe alternatives were labeled "not recommended". Meanwhile, tons of well established trustworthy add-ons that have been around for years don't manage to get this special treatment. They're just pushing their own snowflake agenda.) Just look at Mozilla's pleasly 2000 user addon B!tch to Boss that's only been around for a few months and is already recommended. In practice, it's just a way for Mozilla to redirect people towards extensions they like, while hiding extensions they don't. But experience tells us that neither the initial review nor the recommended review can guarantee privacy or security, and is at best, a spam filter. All add-ons already go through a manual review process, whether recommended or not, and in theory, should already be vetted at this first stage. It's about time that people realize that "Recommended extensions" means nothing. u/15616165487 suggests an excellent solution. This is extremely disrespectful to Adguard devs and every filter maintainer out there. Note: I am not affiliated with any adblocker or anything, just a user with genuine concerns about this extension.Įdit: u/bershanskiy noted, both Ghacks and Gorhill (Dev of ublock origin) found this extension a direct copycat of Adguard and reported their findings to Mozilla back in mid 2019.Ĭonsidering Adblocker Ultimate has nearly 2x users of adguard despite stealing code from adguard and adblock plus and the fact they force their donation page every time you install/uninstall their extension, they have obviously profited from others' work. They have no issue trackers for their filters (how does that lead to "exceptional user experience" as required by Mozilla Recommended Extension program?).They wrongly state they are open source project ( source code is 2.x from a year ago whereas the extension is 3.x).they state adguard doesn't block some ads and they "fixed it" after forking it (I thought adblocking was handled through filterlists in adguard, ublock orgin etc? am i wrong?).
