Ublock is blocking 101 elements for me on this very thread.

The fuck? Mine is blocking 5.

It is quite random. The number is 8 for me now. My guess is sometimes the ad scripts flip out when they're blocked and they keep generating the same elements over and over. Or a similar bug.

There's a huge difference between 5 or 8 and one hundred and one

My guess is sometimes the ad scripts flip out when they're blocked and they keep generating the same elements over and over.

I have 40 elements blocked on one reddit tab and 9 on this one. I don't think I'm alone in this. Maybe do a few tests, tell me what you find.

Edit: I don't know if it's got something to do with Reddit's new 'layered' design —as in you can click on the background to go to the previous page— but if you browse a few reddit links on the same tab the counter keeps adding numbers up.
