Mysterious buyer acquires Adblock.
The ‘Anonymous buyer’ conspiracy has caused concern for Adblock users and they have raised number of questions on social media sites, such as:
Should I trust AdBlock Extension anymore?
Who owns the Software I have installed?
Is it NSA? :cry:

What Should you do?
I personally am watching ABP closely for new updates and dropping it completely, and swapping to uBlock.
Download uBlock with a simple google search.
Remember that ublock(.)org is NOT in relation to the uBlock we are speaking about. It states it on their browser download pages.
