Hi and thanks for making this amazing addon :)

It seems Qwant has made a script that detects when an ad blocker removes hyperlink audits.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Install this addon in Firefox (other browsers probably also affected)
  2. Make sure Block hyperlink auditing is enabled.
  3. Make sure Allow domain blocking is disabled as this is already marked as causing issues
  4. Go to Qwant: https://www.qwant.com/
  5. Search for anything, e.g. foo
  6. Observe that the entire page is replaced with the following message:
    image
  7. Disable Block hyperlink auditing
  8. Repeat steps 4 and 5
  9. Observe that the message does not reappear

I am guessing that you cannot do anything to make the message go away while also having Block hyperlink auditing enabled, but maybe you could add the same warning that you have on Allow domain blocking? Then it would have been easier for me to figure out what I needed to disable to make the message go away.

What do you think?
