Either uBlock Origin or Matrix comes with user agent spoofing, it's not like the practice is that rare.
- unityByFreedom 5y agoDoes uBlock Origin turn that on by default? That's the only way I could imagine such stats being wrong by a wide margin.
- unityByFreedom 5y agoMatrix used to do this but doesn't anymore [1] and uBlock never had that feature. Please don't make stuff up. [1] https://github.com/gorhill/uMatrix/issues/927 https://github.com/gorhill/uMatrix/issues/927
- boomboomsubban 5y agoI don't think it's fair to call not knowing that a feature was removed from a discontinued app "making stuff up." I was clearly wrong, though it is easy to change your user agent it's unlikely that many Firefox users have done it.
- unityByFreedom 5y agoYou're right, I misunderstood your comment. I interpreted what you said as in, you can get this feature via either Matrix or uBlock. I see now you meant one of those has the feature and you weren't sure which one had it. Sorry about that. In my defense I think it can be read both ways. I'd add there is a large gap in usage between uBlock and Matrix. uBlock has over 10 million users whereas Matrix is somewhere over 100,000.
