I don't know much about running a public company, but my guess is that he has an obligation (maybe a legal one?) to his shareholders to not hint to news like this before the company is officially announcing it.

[kjs3]

You are correct. This is part of his duty.

I had 2 autoplay videos and 1 popup, ibtimes has really gone to shit.

uBlock is your friend

uBlock Origin is a better friend. :)

How does it differ from uBlock (or, how is it better?)

[theGimp]

It's maintained by the original author. The readme is a good place to start researching, but it's not that interesting a topic tbh.

I read this and the wiki page and still have no idea which I should run (usually Chrome / Mac if that matters). I'm using non-Origin right now.

[nacs]

I have ublock installed and the popup still happened.

[coldpie]

As usual, NoScript puts shitty webpages in their place.

[Mahn]

Was there a time when ibtimes was good?

I only had some "Get adobe flash player", do I need to upgrade my computer to Windows 10?
