    Why would you use two adblockers at the same time? That’s just bound to cause problems. And that doesn’t even go into the whole adblock plus drama.

      It’s not crazy. There are multiple blacklists that largely but not completely overlap. Sometimes program A works best on site B and program Y works on site Z. Or at least historically this has been the case.

      Obviously a new game is afoot.
