2022-08-22 Firefox user 17527379 I'm only writing this in response to the previous review who claimed the source code of this was changed to collect user data. He seems to be wrong about this particular version which is a fork and not maintained by the same people as far as I am aware. It clearly even says so on the main page of this addon, and on the github page for it. The article he posted says that a malicious file called connect.js was added, and he himself states nano adblocker was sold in October of 2020. The github page for this addon says it was last updated in the same month and year, October 2020. I searched the files on github for the supposedly malicious file "connect.js" and couldn't find a file by that name. A another reviewer says it was only the chrome or chromium version that was bought out, if this is true it means the firefox version shouldn't have been changed. I'm not and cannot claim to know for sure that this version of nano defender is completely free of malicious code, but it seems to me it is free from this particular case. Please correct me if I am wrong. Other reviews claim this extension doesn't work anymore, I don't know about that, I just wanted to clarify the last review posted.
2022-06-23 Firefox user 12792321 En ATTENTION: Addon Not Recommended! Was sold October 2020 to Turkish developers and subsequently changed the source code to collect user data to transmit them to the "home" server and then presumably use commercially! De/EU ACHTUNG! Addon NICHT Empfehlenswert! Wurde Oktober 2020 an türkische Entwickler verkauft und in folge der Quellcode verändert um User -daten zu sammeln um diese zum „Home“-Server zu übermitteln und dann mutmaßlich kommerziell zu nutzen! -> https://www.deskmodder.de/blog/2020/10/16/nano-adblocker-und-nano-defender-erweiterung-sollte-man-entfernen/

2021-09-10 FlipsTheSlayer The extra instructions for uBlock Origin no longer apply as the filters listed for them are broken. This still hasn't been fixed after months and months, and the creator has seemingly disappeared from the internet judging by their github profile, so I've given up on this extension and its filter lists. I recommend people use the Fuck Fuckadblock filter list instead, it seems to do everything this extension and its filter lists used to do and more: https://github.com/bogachenko/fuckfuckadblock
2021-09-10 Nuno Leal Correia Nano Defender Integracion and filters are outdated because gitcdn.xyz its down an long time ago! Please update sources. In alternative you can use mirrors to continue using Nano Defender. Google it
