Description

Feather Client has recently been exposed for running advertisements when the user has their computer locked, or has it in the background during gameplay, additionally, they have been engaging in fraudulent advertising practices, hence my intention to include them in AdVoid; Feather Client is for lack of a better term, adware disguised as a Minecraft client.

@Metrokoto, I have been monitoring the situation with the given client and still have a decision to make whether to include these rules in AdVoid, hence, I will keep this issue open for some time.
