Just wanted to validate that the pop-up full page I got from Adblock recommending Disconnect Mobile is legit. Can anyone verify that? I cannot find anything on the net about Adblock recommending it.

    Maybe Disconnect is a great product that supports the values of the developers of AdBlock, and maybe they were victims of corporate discrimination when Google removed them from their Play Store. However, I installed AdBlock to block ads, and I find that this is completely inappropriate to use AdBlock as a platform or method of delivering advertisement for products that they approve.

    I find it completely fine to broadcast using AdBlock. Disconnect provides me with something I am interested in.

    I installed Disconnect Mobile as recommended, and I now get ad popups on my homescreen.

    The ad from adblock for disconnect mobile was a mistake to send out to users.

    Hey, Gabriel from AdBlock here. Thanks for your comments!

    The message was indeed legit, and Disconnect's app is awesome. It does everything you'd expect AdBlock to do for your entire phone, plus it blocks trackers and malware, etc. We don't think it's right that Google has twice banned Disconnect's app from the Play store, and we're proud to have Disconnect as a partner.

    @Dustin: I'm not sure why you'd be getting popups. You can certainly get in touch with Disconnect via [email blocked] to ask them about it, but that's simply not something the Disconnect app is designed to do.
