Nano Defender teamed up with uBlock Origin

I have Nano Defender installed alongside uBlock Origin, plus uBlock Origin Extra (not needed on Firefox - https://github.com/gorhill/uBO-Extra) and it works well. I've not seen an anti-adblocker succeed in a long time.

Don't have an issue and I'm not signed in

I do use pihole though as browser plugins are crap these days

I found more and more sites were detecting them, plus I read up that a lot were selling your data to ad companies.

The main reason I actually went with pihole though was to block ads in mobile apps like sky news, which has been brilliant.

The imgur anti-adblock was fixed in uBlock Origin's filters yesterday. You may have to force update your filter lists in uBO (click the little clock, or click the purge all and update lists buttons).

Why not just unblock ads for imgur? Imgur seems like the least unscrupulous of all of the image hosts and it's really nice to use. I imagine it costs a fortune to run so I have no problem allowing them.

This demand that internet products not only be free but don't even make money from ads is getting ridiculous. You don't want ads, pay for the things that you use.
