From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

There's only two. One has broken primary selection, the other has anti-user policies against adblock plugins.

I can live without copy on highlight. But you could pry UBlock Origin from my cold, dead hands.

uBlock Origin and mouse copy and paste works perfectly well in Firefox.
