Kinda glad my uBlock Origin is still working.

This should be illegal, actually in Europe it's about to be...

what is illegal? Havinadblockcks, cracking down onadblocks or upping the price on the software after ""forcing"" people to move to it.

Anti Ad-Blocking Software would be (and arguably, already are) illegal as not only do ads count as a form of malware, but Anti-AdBlocks run scripts on YOUR machines without your consent, and thus are ALSO malware.
