Hi,
this is the tails-testers mailinglist, I think one of the othter tails

The article does not say that mainstream adblocking extensions are
scams, but that there are extensions out there that pretend to be one or
the other of the mainstream adblocking extensions. And the article is
about the chrome web store, which is for the google chrome browser.
So the extension ublock origin, which Tails ships, is not malicious.
