Yes, it does work in GNOME. I think I used it in StumpWM when it didn’t
work. The session was not wrapped in dbus-launch. Now I’m using EXWM,
which is started within dbus-launch, and the ad blocker does work.
I suspect that the only problem was that DBus wasn’t working properly
when starting StumpWM without the dbus-launch wrapper. I hope this
information will be helpful to people from the future who find this old
bug report through a web search.
