That would just put an undue burden on the places that host the blocklists, for no good reason. Purge is something that only needs to be done manually in particular cases like this one.
It’s being discussed as a solution to counter the changes Google is making on a daily basis, so that sounds like it’s going to be needed moreso going forward.
Not everyone would want the cache cleared all the time. Cache is useful, it prevents you from reloading everything every time.
Yeah I understand how cache works and it’s benefits, but my point was, if the only way to fix the issue is to clear the cache, and if changes are coming down daily that requires you to clear the cache daily so you don’t see commercials, that they might as well automate that.
That if you do not want to see commercials you lose the benefits of having a cache, basically.
UBlock should just add code that automatically does that every time you start the browser, or daily.
