    ublock has many tools to defuse tracking mechanisms (…)

    Fair. What I still don’t understand is the level of impact this has. Considering I’m not being tracked in any noticeable way, or that I’m not seeing any ads, I just don’t get why people in this post are acting like uBO being blocked is a significant downgrade to the user experience.

    I’m starting to think that you might be not arguing in good faith.

    Sounds like someone not arguing in good faith would say, if anything. How is me trying to understand the impact of the mechanisms used by uBO vs those used by, say, Ghostery, "arguing in bad faith? WTF are you talking about?

    you should look up the wast documentation of uBlock Origin and you will get all the answers

    I will not. Because I get the technical details, a bunch of people already talked about them here. But nobody was able to tell me what do these features actually do compared to other adblocks.
