Uninstall Nano Adblocker and Nano Defender
-
Time to remove Nano Adblocker and Defender from your browsers (except Firefox)
The developer of the extension revealed on the official GitHub that he decided to sell the extension twelve days ago to two Turkish developers.
(...)
The extension is now designed to lookup specific information from your outgoing network requests according to an externally configurable heuristics and send it to https://def.dev-nano.com/.

As I thought all this time about this useless uBO ripoff:
-
Yep. It really seems that Nano was sold.
-
I could never see the point in using nano over ublock origin.
-
For what it’s worth, both nano adblocker and nano defender have been removed from the chrome web store.

hmm,
So in the end, was these two extensions profitable enough after its already off the web store.
I doubt it. -

I read in the comments of Ghacks article:
"Nano Defender serves the purpose of evading anti-adblock scripts. There are other uBlock Origin-compatible lists which achieve the same thing. These two could serve as a replacement."

@twil We have to make a distinction, the brand has been sold, not the project. Nano is open source and gpl‐3 licensed. The normal course of action would have been looking for future maintainers inside the community and handing Nano over. It was a very greedy move that led to the death of the project. And no, I don’t think it paid off, Nano was shut down pretty much immediately after the update. In hindsight the 2 turkish “devs” should have just forked the project calling it Nanü. Maybe it would have survived for a few days longer.

NanoDefender survived, forking the non malware release, but only for Firefox.
[At the moment] the unpacked should work with ubo+chromium too but better wait to see how the project goes. -
I add the 3 lists above to UBO. Lets see if with them Nano Defender is not necessary any more.

@barbudo2005 remember that you also need uBlock Origin Extra for bypassing the anti adblock on some sites.
-
@iAN-CooG First check the script for sites you visit. If there are none, no point in installing it.

Maybe is the same as the extension "I don't care about cookies".
I add the list of "I don't care about cookies" to UBO and most of the sites works.
The creator of "I don't care about cookies" said:
"Be aware that the filter list is not as effective as a browser extension but it will hide most cookie warnings."
-
@luetage Yes, I've installed it exactly because of sites like gamespot and pcmag
-
-
@barbudo2005 oh, ok then it seems no longer needed
-
@barbudo2005 I guess I retract my statement to check the file lol
