What is this? Some kind of malware? Whoever it is, they don't have permission to use my code and distribute it with my name/logo.

  johnchristopher - I have deleted it because it's not working properly. mattkruse - TOMODO.com is a platform that enables anyone to modify any existing website by injecting JS/CSS. Unlike browser extensions the injection happens in server side so the client doesn't need to install anything, additionally it's supports all browser and platforms. Since the Mod was created using your original code but not by you, if you want me I will remove this Mod. Feel free to post here a message or send an email to support@tomodo.com

    TOMODO.com Interesting Idea but I think I’ll pass… All my HN clicks views and votes would go through your site first. You know I’m just not that trusting. Not to mention with mass adoption it could render HN’s algorithms useless.

    These sorts of modifications are done client-side for a reason. If I want the page to look different, I'd make it look different. Doing it server-side opens up a whole ton of security concerns... Not to mention copyright issues, etc.

I see that you are the creator of the Social Fixer extension. Your writing mentions this interesting piece: http://www.buzzfeed.com/charliewarzel/the-end-of-the-power-user http://www.buzzfeed.com/charliewarzel/the-end-of-the-power-u... I am just waiting for a more powerful entity like Google or Facebook to take on Ad-block, that's when it'll get really interesting. I'm guessing Facebook is just testing the waters for now by taking you on, and demanding you to take down ad-blocking features for now. edit: I just read in your article: I asked about both of these cases, as examples, and I was told by the person at Facebook that she was not aware of these apps or Pages, but would check into them. They don't know about Ad-block! That is just so rich.

    I don't use Adblock (I am a NoScript man) but I never knew that! Thanks for the info.
