I'm not throwing Troy under the bus, as a matter of fact uBlock has 'toggle cosmetic filtering for the site' and I've turned it off to allow this sponsor message to be shown.
But I will note that Troy is still serving tracking code from his site and I have no intention to stop using an Add-blocker for his livelihood or anyone else's.
Could the curated lists be improved? Yes, I conceded that position in my above post as well. But the whole-scale attack on 'Add-Blockers' by someone serving tracking code is, as I have said totally disingenuous. It's not about 'the level of intrusiveness' it's about 'my right to control what code/content is executed/displayed on my machine'.
