Any suggestions for an honest replacement? There was comfort in green circles.

Ouch, huh?

Thank you.

ABP is honest.

[Marco]

I know that. I have been using it for a decade.
It doesn't replace up-front knowledge that other people have given a particular website a green, yellow, gray, or red circle.

Thank you.

[lewisje]

oh, you mean an honest replacement for WOT

idk then

[Marco]

Yes, I was.

Is that an I don't know?

Seems to be okay browsing with Firefox, HTTPS Everywhere, and ABP.
I had Privacy Badger https://www.eff.org/, but seemed to have too many conflicts.
They are really receptive and prompt about responding to issues.
Don't know why I had issues, because I know it is almost never ABP.

At any rate, I highly recommend all that EFF does.
I suggest checking out Projects on right side.

Had these/those programs a lot longer than WOT.
Thank you.

That was an "I don't know", as in "I don't know any alternative to WOT at all, let alone an honest one."

[Marco]

Thank you.
