#62will there be a point where code generators start putting ads into their produced results, like “this pdf was made with the free version of pdfsoftware” watermarks unless you pay extra?

#68Are the ads static or appear in a way that would make them recognized easily so that a uBlock Origin rules remove them?
Ublock Origin blocks them, at least on Firefox. I haven’t tested UBo Lite on Chromium browsers.

I was wondering how they made the leap between these topics :P
