This might create a new front in the war against ads. You'll have ad blockers, then they'll build in a component to block anti-adblock mechanisms, which will force the ad makers to employ more countermeasures... I don't see how the content providers will ever win this war. They have more to lose here.

- Nexxxeh 9y agoIsn't that front already open? >uBO-Extra >A companion extension to uBlock Origin: to gain ability to foil early anti-user mechanisms working around content blockers or even a browser privacy settings. I think /u/gorhill is the lord of this particular war, and his followers are armed to the teeth. I type this on Firefox on Android with uBlock Origin. I check his github occasionally to see if he accepts donations, and I donate to a couple of the lists occasionally. In the war analogy, we have the best arms dealers. They other side is fighting a losing war.
- KGIII 9y agoI have checked multiple times and gorhill doesn't appear to accept donations. I seem to recall reading a thread where they indicated they didn't want to ever be considered to be beholden to anyone. As mentioned above, uMatrix is my favorite. Once configured, it is easy... There is a learning curve. I'd donate regularly, but that doesn't appear likely. I greatly appreciate their work.
