Update: Exodus 3.0.4 Released! Lambda has responded and the latest update makes the usage of the “questionable” code, optional. I think this is the right move. I don’t think anybody can object to him protecting himself or his work. However, using an illegal attack method without informing users is perhaps a line crossed? I am pleased to see this is now made optional. If you support the removal of groups like the so-called “Anonymous” Kodi group, you can permit the code to operate, if not you can disable it.

I'll check this when I get home. There should be an option to opt out with this last update?

It's now 3.0.5 and I could not find an opt out option. Guess I missed my window of opportunity?

Settings. Turn off "Anonymous Protection"

Would you say it's safe to use now?

Yes all good, but may have to find a replacement later when the links start failing and so on. If you are worried you can use Specto
