And uninstalled. Are any of the adblockers open source? So, I can take a look at the code, and learn how they work.

  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 https://github.com/kzar/watchadblock Specifically if you want to see what they've changed so far have a look at the last couple of commits https://github.com/kzar/watchadblock/commit/afff2b47024f3a55783a8d67140c31250cc5a155 https://github.com/kzar/watchadblock/commit/afff2b47024f3a55... https://github.com/kzar/watchadblock/commit/f1f52f47e276d29e02eb93f947317c3073d5a0ea https://github.com/kzar/watchadblock/commit/f1f52f47e276d29e...

    Well the first two links in the article are to AdBlock Plus, that's why I was confused.

      Sure, it is all pretty confusing to be honest.

For those interested, here is a URL which can be used as a template to diff across releases: https://github.com/kzar/watchadblock/compare/[old https://github.com/kzar/watchadblock/compare/[old version]...[new version] For example, for all the changes between releases 2.40 and 2.41.1: https://github.com/kzar/watchadblock/compare/2.40...2.41.1 https://github.com/kzar/watchadblock/compare/2.40...2.41.1

Pretty much all of them are, including this one. If you want to pick one, I recommend uBlock Origin.

  Let's hope they trademark the name... After reading the comment above about Adblock, AdBlock, and Adblock Plus, it would be much easier to know exactly what product the news is about.

      Except uBlock Origin is actually the one you want, not uBlock itself. Some sort of drama with the creators, one of them split off and made uBlock Origin which is a better iteration.
