Sounds like we agree in principle and on assessment. Perhaps the daylight is that I believe users should be able to anticipate that sites will work under common configurations like use of ublock, which puts the onus on the dev.
- shadowgovt 5y agoSince uBlock isn't a web standard (and runs on a constantly-shifting set of heuristics), it's unrealistic to expect devs to chase it successfully. To be sure, they will chase it to maximize user eyeballs, but expecting that to be the correct course of action is like expecting devs to adapt their sites to IE6 quirks. I thought we went through a whole standard development process to get away from the need to handle user-agent issues.
