It was indeed named "uBO Minus", but what do you expect from Google? Accept that name?


Why not name it uBO Neutrino?

It has the connotation of being "Lite" since they're low-mass particles. And it sounds vaguely like "neutered", which is what MV3 attempts to do to ad-blockers.

(That being said, this description from gorhill looks great.)


Why would they reject it? Is it offensive?


I would call it "uBO Reduced". Reduced resources, reduced permissions, reduced capabilities, reduced effectiveness in actually blocking ads, trackers and content.
