Except it’s definitely not, because that’s not its intended purpose.

- orf 3y agoSo it’s a selective ad-remover, not an ad-blocker then.
- charcircuit 3y agoThose are the same things. What do you think filter lists are which is how pretty much every ad blocker works? They literally are a list of a selectors for ads that should be removed.
- orf 3y agoSure, and while you may pedantically argue that an antivirus software that selectively allows specific viruses on your computer depending on the author is still a antivirus software, most people wouldn’t.
