    While funny, the whole idea of tracking your data enough to give you a wrapped kind of goes completely against everything these extensions are supposed to do.

    My suggested alternative is you click the wrapped button and it just says:

    “Fucked if I know! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯”

      It could keep a local count, wouldn’t need to communicate it out. It basically already shows you how many things are getting blocked, it would just be a funny end of year easter egg

        Yeah a local record of blocked ads would be trivial to save and no need to upload.

          It already shows how many ads have been blocked.

        But it does say right on that page:

        Take note that the network request logger in uBO is a forward-looking logger: this means only future requests can be logged.

        In the spirit of efficiency, uBO will log entries IF AND ONLY IF the logger is opened. Otherwise, if the logger is not opened, no CPU/memory resources are consumed by uBO for logging purpose.
