From what I've read they almost certainly completely wrong. This is a blog site that lays out the timeline and evidence and all the shenanigans. It's pretty horrible reading this. There is zero evidence and all the witnesses contradicted themselves or outright lied. A jury found him not guilty. But it was a cottage industry. It's about greed and media malfeasance and racism and maybe just hatred of freaks.

What a horrible website they don't let you read at all without accepting all the cookies and trackers

It's wordpress. I use ghostery addon to avoid cookie popups (always deny) and trackers.

But i didn't see a decline button and i can't use addon with tor

You have to click "learn more" and then "disagree to all". Internet is getting worse and worse without addons.

I agree

You can use add-ons with tor browser, it just leads to a much smaller fingerprint to identify you. The number of people with uBlock origin is large enough.

No adblockers work against tor

You're correct that it's not recommended and can possibly hurt your anonymity and privacy but it's important to understand the reason so you can make the right decision for yourself.

When you install add-ons in tor browser (besides NoScript which is installed by default) they narrow your specific browser fingerprint. JavaScript enabled sites can get a list of browser add-ons you use. But many people still install uBlock origin on tor browser. As long as you don't install 5 add-ons it won't hurt your anonymity much. Installing uBlock Origin may narrow your unique fingerprint down to tens of thousands of people instead of hundreds of thousands or millions, but it won't make tor instantly worthless and can in some cases improve your security.

It all depends on your risk assessment. Are you just looking for extra privacy and anonymity, or is there a large target on your back put there by a government agency or organization of some sort?
