    I’m confused, if ublock origin and sponsor block and all those are bypassing this, then who is it actually targeting?

      They want to frame it so that internet ID is the solution. That way you as a person can be banned, not just the account or ip. Good luck buying and selling when everything becomes digital and you get banned.

      The reason people are talking about this new change is that it will bypass the extensions.

        I understand that, but look at who I am responding to - they seem to think that they’re immune from it.

      have you ever searched “ad blocker” on your browser of choice’s extension store and scrolled down? or had a cheap/free VPN that advertised ad blocking functionality?

      those. for some reason people install those. and they never get updates.

      (some of them are actual malware too)
