On that point I would agree - I never used that. But Google also
lied why it wanted to destroy ublock origin. It was clear to
everyone that they did it because people can break away from
ads infiltrating their computers. I can't use the modern www
anymore without general content blocker; ublock lite is good
but nowhere as useful as ublock origin was. I notice this when
I compare e. g. firefox with default chrome. So many websites
have a totally broken UI. With ublock origin not only can I
get rid of popups or ads but also horrible UI choices. I use
that on so many websites to simplify them.
Why do I need protection from Apple if my goal is not to deal with ads? Unless you are making the (very valid) point that you still have to deal with ads in the App Store and soon Apple Maps.
