According to recent user reports, uBlock Origin is quickly disappearing from the Chrome Web Store. The official page for the ad-blocking extension now states that it is unavailable because it doesn’t comply with Chrome’s “best practices” for add-ons. However, we can confirm that the page is still accessible from our EU Windows client.

I edited my initial comment.

But it’s tiktok that my wife sends me and redirects. Which in absolutely not going to complain to tiktok because fuck that noise. IDC enough about that mess.

The redirects are annoying… But I just work around that in most cases
