I switched back to ABP when uBlock started universally blocking Sourceforge. I understand Sourceforge has engaged in a number of very shady practices lately, but I need Numpy for my job and I don't have time to work around nanny software.

- aganders3 11y agoNanny software you installed yourself? In any case, NumPy is on GitHub now.
- cremno 11y agoUninstalling uBlock, installing and setting ABP up takes less time than temporarily or even permanently disabling the blocking of SF by simply clicking on a button?
- dnlrn 11y agouBlock didn't start to universally block sourceforge, they just added sourceforge to their "uBlock filters - badware risks" list, which is justified imo. If you don't want this behaviour, just disable the list.
- kzrdude 11y agoI'm always happy with the reminder that I happened to follow a link to sourceforge. I don't need anything there..
- mintplant 11y agoCouldn't you have turned off uBlock for that site via the toolbar button?
- gorhill 11y agoOne doesn't even need to turn off uBlock if one disagrees with the wholesome blocking of sourceforge.net: right in the warning page, uBlock Origin offers the user to remove temporarily or permanently the wholesome blocking for the site.
