Since the repository wasn’t updated in about 5 years, I suppose that the extension is no longer open source, correct? But since I still see new releases on the Chrome/Firefox stores, can we just have this GitHub repository [archived] then?

The tracking protection list is regularly updated so it’s possible new releases on stores are a result of building the code with the newer list I suppose. Does anyone know for sure? There have been no comments on that issue.

    As aside, I believe that by default, if you use Firefox, this list is already used in your browser.

    Firefox relies on a list of known trackers provided by Disconnect

    I have no idea whether this provides the same quality of protection as the extension, though.

    Disconnect, for their part, brags on their homepage that their “tracker intelligence has been leveraged by browsers that ship to billions of users worldwide,” and buries info about the extension much deeper in their Consumer Solutions page.
