     @cowanon @Grumblesock Technically is still exists, you can download it from their (Gitlab?) and it still works, but no one uses it so there’s no point.
     
     I’m sort of (but not really) the reason the final version got taken down and the whole thing, browser and extension, was retired. They let the browser sit out of date for over a year, and Chromium had important security breaches in that time, but they were still advertising it on all their pages. So I told the CTO, who I was well acquainted with at the time “Fosco, you fucking idiot, if someone gets hacked through this thing, Gab is going to get sued. If you can’t update it, delete it.”

     Dissenter was a great idea that got shat up and shat on and then like you say it all died. The 🆘 won again.

     Yeah, I actually really enjoyed using the dissenter app, then they tied it to that shitty browser and then the whole thing got dropped like a hot brick. 🙄
