Mozilla's massive lapse in judgement causes clash with uBlock Origin developer
Mozilla's massive lapse in judgement causes clash with uBlock Origin developer
Mozilla has removed uBlock Origin Lite from Firefox's addon store after a review found issues with the extension.
You're viewing a single thread.
Probably due to automatic extension reviews by Mozilla.
Sad that it happened, but at least it doesn't impact the actual uBlock, only the lite version for which I honestly see no purpose in Firefox anyways.
It was a manual review conducted by an actual person that in the end admitted they were wrong
Oh okay, not a good look.
Agreed. Especially considering uBlock origin is pretty much the main reason to use FF at all. They shouldn't be delegating reviews of it to someone who would fuck up this badly.
Assuming this wasn't a "test the waters" kind of thing to determine just how much they were reliant on ublock.
I've been using the main FF build for a while now but I'm wondering if I should start looking at the various fork options.
Are you like, those old multi colour swirly rubber balls we used to get out of 20p machines as kids? Those were ill!
I don't understand what you are telling me
Your username vintage balls reminded me of those little rubber balls we used to get at kids, I don't see them any more (maybe they're seen as too much of a choking hazard now?), so they feel kinda "vintage" to me now haha.
Those things could really bounce! I liked the semi translucent ones with the rainbow swirl patterns.
It's a reference to your username
Ahhh
And he just leaves them hanging.
I'm referring to the users asking the questions.
To be fair it's been less than a day, one of the great things about internet messaging is how asynchronous it can be, it's great for calming anxieties about needing to come up with a reply immediately like if you're on the phone or something x.x
You're right though, I don't reply to things often enough, partly because I'm very sick with COVID at the moment but also a lot of it is my social anxiety and fear of rejection.
I get so scared of what people might say that I avoid looking at the replies, even when I initially reach out because I want to interact with people and form connections ><
It's one of my big problems that I need to overcome, I'm still working out how to tackle it, but I do know it's a problem, and it's mine to solve.
Alas I can't afford things like therapy, so I just have to stumble around trying to figure my ADHD, possibly autistic (wish I could get seen for a diagnosis...), anxious, dumb ass brain out 😅
I'm sorry in the mean time for being a bit annoying, I don't mean to be on purpose :-)
I'm not the best guy to ask for sensitive responses, but try to take my blunt and possibly obnoxious response in a positive light.
There are a lot of people saying terrible things on the internet, to the point where only the more aggregious ones stand out. Most things will be ignored or forgotten by most people, whether they were good or bad, but I appreciated this post, and you for putting it out there.
I was trying to make a lewdly suggestive comment about vintage balls leaving them hanging. Apparently it wasn't done very well, but it did have unintended and appreciated consequences.
Where does it say it was a manual review?
In the original post on GitHub it's mentioned that it was a manual review

Good to know! I wasn't sure if it was automated or not. That's rough.
Theoretically, the browser executes the Mv3 blocking rules, so it could be optimized and more efficient than js ever could.
