Would there be any reason to not support ubo anymore? This is actually very depressing

The web is funded by advertising, and adblockers undermine it, that's why. Fuck advertising though

I do have pihole setup on the whole house, but still, god damn. I hope they won’t drop support for it.

uBO can block things that DNS-based blocking can't block. Some sites serve their ads from the same domain as the rest of their content, and some sites need custom JavaScript to block the ads.
