To anyone who is concerned by this change, I recommend taking a look at μBlock Origin [1,2]. It's blazingly fast, very flexible, and under active development. I made the switch about a year ago and it has served me very well. [1] https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock [2] https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublock-origin/cjpa...
I've been using it for a month now. Can't recommend it more.

Works great on Firefox for Android, too. No more app store popups!
That's the straw that broke the camel's back for me, personally. A lot of sites out there were becoming completely unreadable.

"Can't recommend it enough" is what you meant to say, I want to believe.

"I'm physically incapable of recommending it more often/strongly because I'm using my full strength to recommend it already"

Did you click the setting "Prevent WebRTC from leaking local IP addresses"? If so, this will prevent Hangout from working. Reference issue: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/issues/757
Oh I had no idea that would prevent it from working. I wish they made that clear. Thanks!
I agree, I opened an issue to address this: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/issues/773

#78And uninstalled. Are any of the adblockers open source? So, I can take a look at the code, and learn how they work.

Okay this is why we have registered trademarks. You're telling me that Adblock, Adblock Plus, and AdBlock are three separate things? What the hell? I just assumed they were all the same thing until now.
I kept rereading OP's comment and looking for the difference between Adblock and AdBlock. It wasn't until your comment that I noticed the capital B in Block. Trademarks FTW. Great example of confusion in the marketplace.
