[–] tvbusy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 106 points 2 years ago (1 child) This reminds me to donate to uBlock Origin. The dev does not accept donations though. I can't imagine a fay without uBlock Origin. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ccdfa@lemm.ee 12 points 2 years ago* (1 child) Yeah I wish the dev accepted donations. Ublock makes my life so much better and I have a hard time being online without it. That's something I'd gladly donate to.

Nice of him to mention uBlock Origin is nothing without the maintainers of the block lists it depends on and somewhere else mentions people should donate to those instead. Nice to see some parts of the Internet are resisting the enshitification, or, in this case, actively fighting it. permalink fedilink source parent
