The Google Chrome extension store says ublock origin can't be installed because it doesn't adhere to best practices for chrome extensions. But if I inspect the disabled installer button and remove the "disabled" attribute from it, I can install it... kyuuchan_huh

@tlapka @epsi I think that will stop at some point. Iirc they let some extensions have access to the old APIs for a longer time before completly removing them. Don’t quote me on that. I use Libre Wolf

@epsi As a L33t h4x0r, you are now obligated to do a TED talk and/or poorly-edited YouTube video.
