GPLv2 License violation by new owner

This project is GPLv2
However the last three builds (7.1.7, 7.1.8, 7.1.9) provided in Google webstore did not see related releases published here.

Additionally to the suspicion arising from this, there's a clear license violation.

7.1.9 is in sync with git, so there is no violation as of now.
(there is a permission mismatch in the manifest file, but you're going to have a hard time making a point based on copyright about that.)

I don't really know what happen but it suddenly ate like 30% of my cpu today. Wish I knew about the owner transferring before. 1 Nano Adblocker is enought, better remove this one too

a cpu eating bug is known for quite a while and there are multiple issues about it here. you don't need to worry about anything malicious unless your extension version is 7.1.8.

Check this: #1263

I'm on 7.1.8 with over 100 tabs open.. Thanks for your detective work @ossilator - time to downgrade!
