[QUOTE="SeriousHoax, post: 1114565, member: 78686"] Last year the grapheneos account on Twitter/X came to argue with me in a tweet where I pointed out the flaw in that test site by adding a link to uBO creator gorhill's tweets explaining this topic and why both uBO and AdGuard had to eventually add workaround rules for that site as their filter maintainers were wasting their time every time someone was opening an issue in their GitHub regarding that site. But yet, the Grapheneos account kept telling me that uBO and AdGuard are cheating and should use other alternate solutions that he apparently knows. Then I told him that instead of tweeting at me, why don't he open an issue on uBO & AdGuard's GitHub, propose his alternate solution and try to change their mind not mine. This hurt the manchild Grapheneos guy's ego and he blocked me 😂 Good to see that Brave has also written this article showcasing issues with testing sites like this. Adblocking is far more complex than many people think it to be. [/QUOTE]
