The updater for the open-source editor Notepad++ has installed malware on PCs. An update to Notepad++ v8.8.9 corrects this.

        ublock has the same function; it’s the thunderbolt icon, which let’s you just zap away whatever html element offends you!

        …no fancy animation tho…is there a plugin that animates the ublock zapper? that would be very fun!
