Can adblock+ do 16 things hosts do 4 speed, security & reliability:

1.) Protect vs. bad sites (past ads)
2.) Protect vs. fastflux botnets + stop C&C talk
3.) Protect vs. dynamic dns botnets + stop C&C talk
4.) Protect vs. DGA botnets + stop C&C talk
5.) Protect vs. downed DNS (4 reliability)
6.) Protect vs. DNS redirect poisoning
7.) Protect vs. trackers
8.) Protect vs. spam
9.) Protect vs. phish
10.) Protect vs. caps
11.) Get past dns blocks
12.) Keep off dns request logs
13.) Speed up surfing (adblock & hardcoded favs)
14.) Works on anything webbound multiplatform.
15.) EZ data control
16.) Block ads better vs. addons more efficiently

Yeah, this Linux Mint stuff is interesting, but there may be bigger news that Slashdot should be reporting about.

I have no idea if it's true or not, but I've just read an article that alleges that Mozilla has received financial compensation relating to the inclusion of Pocket into Firefox, despite repeated denials that money was involved.

Can anyone shed some light on what the actual situation is? Clearly there's contradictory information out there, so we need to get to the facts, instead of dealing with speculation and confusion. This is where Slashdot could really do the right thing, to help us get to the bottom of this story.

Not anymore, a new "feature" forces you to use a plugin to change the new tab url, because of... wait for it... adware.

But those plugins, like CTR, are being deprecated.

Ublock's NOT as efficient:
