Unsupported adblockers
Below is a list of adblockers I NEVER will support, simply because they are poorly-made, unmaintained, shady, or are outright scams/malware. I strongly recommend people avoid these adblockers and anything connected to them, as at least some of these are harmful to your computer. If you have any of these installed, please remove them.
uBlock (not to be confused with uBlock Origin) is a unmaintained fork of uBlock Origin by @gorhill, which has had much controversy surrounding it, even to the point that some believe it is a scam designed to trick users looking for uBlock Origin and draw donations.

While there may have been several extensions under this name, I am talking about the one on the Chrome Web Store as of time of writing.
This extension just seems to be an unmaintained old version of uBlock Origin. There is no reason to use this instead of better (maintained) adblockers like uBlock Origin or AdGuard
