What's the typo?

@jeffehobbs
jeffehobbs commented

criminalisation vs. criminalization.

And now as I look into this more: it's a regional thing? Sorry, probably not a typo actually. Seems to be a difference in regional spelling, ala color v. colour.

µBlock is not an *ad blocker*; it's a general-purpose blocker. µBlock blocks ads through its support of the [Adblock Plus filter syntax](https://adblockplus.org/en/filters). µBlock [extends](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Filter-syntax-extensions) the syntax and is designed to work with custom rules and filters.
-That said, it's important to note that using a blocker is **NOT** [theft](https://twitter.com/LeaVerou/status/518154828166725632). Don't fall for this creepy idea. The _ultimate_ logical consequence of `blocking = theft` is the criminalisation of the inalienable right to privacy.

Ads, "unintrusive" or not, are just the visible portions of privacy-invading apparatus entering your browser when you visit most sites nowadays. **µBlock's main goal is to help users neutralize such privacy-invading apparatus** — in a way that welcomes those users who don't wish to use more technical, involved means (such as [µMatrix](https://github.com/gorhill/uMatrix)).
Something went wrong with that request. Please try again.
