I learned the other day that the developer(s ?) of uBlock origin don't even accept donation. That's a really dedicated behavior for someone owning on app installed on probably a million devices, that could make money in an instant if he wanted to.
tbh, that scares me, simply because of the potential that one day, someone will offer enough money that it can't reasonably be expected from anyone to decline that offer.

It costs about 15 per month to watch YouTube without ads.
It's my browser running on my computer, I get the final say in how content is presented to me.

When Google receives tax breaks from the US, it is another form of welfare “freeloading”. A tax break is indistinguishable from a handout except by name.
When wahnfrieden receives ad-free video from YouTube, it is another form of welfare "freeloading". An adblocker is indifferent from a handout except by name.

My memory may be rusty, but iirc he already gave away the uBlock project (sold?) once. The new maintainer immediately started pulling shady moves so gorhill forked uBlock into uBlock Origin and has maintained it to this date (7+ years).

Never forget that Adblock Plus is a commercial product developed by a company which you can pay to get your ads listed as "acceptable ads" which makes them pass the filtering. uBlock Origin is still probably the best tool for blocking ads: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/
I have uBlock Origin installed in Arc, and ended up getting burned by the YouTube adblocking blocking purge because each time the warning came up, I checked to see if there was a way to whitelist YT and didn't find it. Now I'm watching YT in Safari on my iPad, where the block doesn't apply. So: anyone know how to whitelist YT in uBlock Origin in Arc?
