No donations should result in no expectations, but unfortunately all sorts of people will have all sorts of expectations from you when you release an open-source project, donations or not.

Donations should also result in no expectations. It’s a donation, not a support license.

I've done a similar thing with a few past employers after I've moved on. "Hey, can you explain this code to the new person?". In some cases, I'd be glad to do a 1 hour call or whatever. They frequently ask me to submit a bill for my time and I always refuse. I don't want to turn into some kind of staff augmentation and be at their beck and call "because they are paying". Way better to think of it as a gift and I get to decide the rules.

I can't think of too many pieces of software that have improved my life as significantly as uBlock Origin in the last decade. It's been an absolute godsend.

I agree to the point that I can't imagine using the internet without uBlock installed.

Absolute true.If you are reading this, i want to say BIG thank you mr Raymond!
