• I’ve used uBlock Origin for years, but the dev doesn’t accept donations because he doesn’t want an obligation to support the software ongoing. This means I cannot support him even though it would come with no expectations, just thanks.

    So thank you for your hard work Raymond Hill/gorhill You’re amazing, doing your part to make the world a better place.

      Makes such a useful piece of software, and is also wise enough to set boundaries to protect himself from the toxic pressure of open source development.

      What a G.

    I did not know that I already had the tool in my hands.

    uBlock Origin is the best ad blocker imaginable.

    But it can do something I always wanted: Get rid of cookie popups (but without acception them automatically).


    Visiting a new website and being able to read the content directly feels so weird, although it should be normal.

    I hope, EU legislation will force websites to accept a global “Auto-decline”/“Minimum-possible” configurable in the web browser, in which case no banner can be shown. IMO, that’s how it should have always been.

      The banner is a stupid solution. Tracking and ad profiles should be completely banned instead.
