It garbles advertisers’ data as a result, but you must disable uBlock Origin to run it; they can’t work simultaneously. I recently moved to it and, so far, am never looking back!

the part that’s safe is in the browser. it’s a basic fact of how http requests work that you can just request data and then not read it.
also, “task managering the popups”? unless i’ve missed some very weird development that has literally never worked, because popup windows are part of the parent process.
Back on Windows 95 through XP, each individual window was a process that could be killed in Task Manager, and popups opened in a new window.
really? sounds like a weird span of systems considering they share so little code. i’d like to read on how they did that.
It’s wholly incorrect.
I was fairly young, but I do remember using Windows 95 or 98 with Netscape and there were popups that had to be killed through the task manager (or equivalent, it was 30 years ago, so I don’t remember precisely).
