I got the pop-up one with ubo but when I cleared the cache and updated I haven't seen it since.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

I saw it one time on a laggy laptop at work, but as soon as uBO finished updating, I haven't seen it since.

I've never seen it on my computers at home, and I've never even had to clear the cache (which actually isn't even a thing anyone has to do manually anymore because the uBO devs are brilliant)
