    Just get uBlock Origin instead. Years ago I made the switch and never looked back!

      Yeah, it was obvious when the original dev sold out, but I could never be seen in public again at this point. It’s a disgrace. “hey look guys, it’s the one who saved the internet and then sold their dignity because they are a massive pussy!” every second of every day has to be brutal. That check could never be enough for that.

    Why the fuck are people still using adblock? They did a similar thing many years ago already, which is when ublock properly took off.

      The most obvious and predictable answer, yet the correct one. There is zero reason not to use uBlock Origin!!

    To be honest everyone should think of their adblock developers, support uBlock Origin existance

    I believe what they’re referencing is sites that require you disable your ad blocker to access; they’re saying you will be able to bypass those gates while keeping your ad blocker enabled

    Still enshitification though. Fuck everything about this

    If you’re going to spend €40, you might as well get a Raspberry Pi and setup a PiHole. You cam also run your own Mastodon server and Lemmy instance on it if you set them all using Docker.

        Tailscale makes it realy easy to connect your pihole remotely (it even has a guide on how to set it up here), and has the aded bonus that you can get it to point to your pihole’s DNS without having to touch any router settings if that has been an issue for you :)

        For sure you should use uBlock, I’m just saying that for the money a Pi is better than AdBlock Plus.

    Are they not a German company? In that case they have to show the price including VAT. AFAIK a price that excludes VAT, even if that is stated, is not enough when selling to consumers.

    This is what I call the internets healthcare insurance scam. If you can’t get the reference look at Americas healthcare insurance system and identify the reason it’s all a scam(over inflation to the point that it only works with insurance/cut % off). This is a system that is designed where now both parties can benefit from a payment plan. I pay you to let my blocker block you but they have to pay a premium and you get a cut from it. It’s called a business deal and as an adblocker them making deals with advertisers to make it easier or work better is the scummiest shit ever. That’s why if you have to pay premium for better adblocking it’s because it’s most likely backdoor deals that can be compared to healthcare insurance and hospitals in America.
