Archive.today apparently hijacks visitor's browsers to DDoS a blog that tried to uncover the identity of the archive's admin. UBlock helps to stop that script.
Another example why Unlock Origin should be considered essential security software, not just an "ad-block".
If a tool is demonstrably indispensable to disable some browsers' functionality, is it wise for browsers to have that functionality?
I'm guessing there's just so much money (and power) in that kind of thing that it's simply here to stay.
