    thanks for your explanation, I now understand about what scripts you wrote on your previous answer. But I meant something a bit different I think - probably didn't make it clear enough - here and here is this my question talked about in official github where the ublock owner (I assume) answered that "This would run counter to what I see as an ideal", so this behaviour was disabled intentionally and will never come back. So sorry for bothering you, I think that concludes my question, because haters are already downvoting it smh

    I was there, not sure how you couldn't be there unless you're new to the internet and browser addons in general. Pretty common knowledge that he gave the project away. https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/issues/38 https://twitter.com/gorhill/status/1019975271443771392 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UBlock\_Origin#uBlock nothing is misleading, gorhill says it himself. Just stop spreading bullshit I still can't figure out why you looked at articles instead of just the events of it actually happening https://github.com/uBlock-LLC/uBlock/issues/1419

    It's a hub for open-source code. You can share your code, but also contribute to others code. For example, here is uBlock's source code. If there is a bug when you use it, you can ask other users if they know how to fix it. Or better, you can download the code yourself, find the bug and fix it. Then you can send that fix to them and it gets added to the code. Now you have personally improve that tool!
