Note that Adblock isn't Adblock Plus: AdBlock is not to be confused with Adblock Plus. The creator of AdBlock claims to have been inspired by the Adblock Plus extension for Firefox, which is itself based on another extension called Adblock. But otherwise AdBlock is unrelated to the other efforts. [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AdBlock ] No alarm here for ABP users. (Like me).
Earlier quoted context omitted.
As mentioned elsewhere in this discussion AdBlock is not Adblock Plus. The second link you posted is for the Adblock Plus source code. Unfortunately at the moment the AdBlock Git repository is not public, but I have set up this unofficial one that tracks the changes between each zip published on their releases page. https://github.com/kzar/watchadblock Specifically if you want to see what they've changed so far have…
Well the first two links in the article are to AdBlock Plus, that's why I was confused.

"Can't recommend it enough" is what you meant to say, I want to believe.
I think GP meant it as a compliment, and a synonym of your phrase. > Can't recommend it more.

would be positive or negative?

ABP also introduced an Acceptable Ads option a few years ago that triggered the creation of a fork called AdBlock Edge without that option. Adblock Edge was recently discontinued in favor of uBlock Origin [1], which has a much smaller memory footprint and is faster. [1]: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock
uBlock origin is bigger (js wise) than both AdBlock and AdBlock plus and uBlock, comparison: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/msT3z9naIEkfKFjrj2G3G67moS...
I've always wondered what happens if a browser extension gets taken over by an entity someday that puts in bad code after millions of people have it installed and it gets auto-updated. Sure it's open-source and will get noticed eventually, but there will be days if not weeks of exposure. Same thing for all those android apps you have installed. If it doesn't add permissions, you'll never get a warning that something…

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.

That was my first thought as well. This has to be either a consortium of advertisers or a single big player.
My thought would be Doubleclick^WGoogle^WAlphabet.

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...
