I love that, in a competition between a corporation worth hundreds of billions of dollars and a FOSS project, all Google managed to do was annoy uBlock Origin users for like a week. I just had to manually update the extension and restart my browser a few times.

I have been lucky, no ads, no message. Probably my region gets the updates so late uBlock has already compensated.

If the numbers ghostery and that are posting is true then overall it's working out as intended.
