By "Ad reinsertion", they mean the paid advertisement inclusion programmes of Adblock and Adblock Plus, which is opt-out and pretty shady in the first place.
They think that Adblock and Adblock Plus don't exist on Firefox, and that people who use uBlock Origin on Firefox will not use uBlock Origin on Chrome too if they were somehow forced to use Chrome.
- Washuu 8y agoNo, they are talking about services such as Instart. Javascript that runs on the page, detects the advertisements are being blocked, does a redirect through Instart's proxy to insert hard coded advertisements, and redirects back. Instart only works on Chrome.
- pritambaral 8y agoI don't know where you're getting that — and I couldn't find any mention of Instart with a Ctrl-F on that page — but my source is this comment by the OP: https://www.reddit.com/r/webdev/comments/8hha0r/is_it_worth_supporting_firefox/dykjb5o/ https://www.reddit.com/r/webdev/comments/8hha0r/is_it_worth_... Besides, wouldn't something like that itself get blocked?
