Antifeatures are flags applied to applications to warn of behavior that may be undesirable from the user's perspective. Frequently it is behavior that benefits the developer or third party, but that the end user of the software would prefer not to be there.
The pages of applications which have antifeatures include a prominent warning added to the page source.
Discussion is happening on the talk page and mailing list, and Dev for work in progress. Currently we need to merge this page from Free System Distribution Guidelines (GNU FSDG) and software categories.

Ad-blocker
When the purpose of some program is to block advertisements, “ad-blocker” is a good term for it. However, Adblock Plus blocks advertisements that track the user (with the EasyPrivacy filter list) as consequence of broader measures to prevent surveillance by web sites. This is not an “ad-blocker,” this is surveillance protection. Read more about “Ad-blocker”.
