FBI must have infiltrated ad blocker servers containing malicious url lists.

Never using an adblocker again.

I stopped using adblockers generally when I considered both 1) we get very little visibility on when an extension changes-hands/updates, combined with 2) you have to give it access to all your browsing data.

People sell popular browser extensions to malicious parties all the time and AFAIK there's no systematic way to notify users when this happens.
