By that logic, Firefox would be in the same boat. After initially installing, you have to turn off data collection in the settings and disable Pocket in the config.

I live in the US. If I turn on uBlock for banking websites, they often don’t work.

We live in a fascist society so I wouldn’t be suprised of their audacity…

Sold out our quality of life? People would be spending weeks out of their lives commuting to work and back without cars. There are no perfect solutions. Only trade-offs. And no I would rather not live in a dense city where I’m stacked on top of other people. However, if I could telecommute to work, I’d prefer that, but I know working from home isn’t for everyone either. We don’t need one size fits all solutions.

I imagine some sort of autocomplete feature could be made which provides a dropdown menu of communities and instances based on what you type after “/c/”.
