Hey, could you please confirm whether you have uBlock origin installed in the following thread? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29719033

It's not the most scientifically accurate method, but a few people and I are trying to rule out / determine which software in common all of us might have. Thanks!

I feel this is like a Reddit detective moment. Almost everyone here is going to have uBlock Origin installed.

Yeah I agree. And a few users who were compromised confirmed not having uBlock. So yeah. False trail.
