The Go Pop ANC rely on just two microphones in a feed-forward system that detects and cancels external sounds. More advanced and more expensive ANC systems use a hybrid approach with additional mics inside the ear that can detect and remove a wider... Continue reading…

However, you have to manually install the extension because it’s “too different from uBO to be an automatic replacement,” according to a FAQ Hill that posted to GitHub. Hill says you may notice a difference when using uBlock Origin Lite compared to uBlock Origin... Continue reading…
