I agree that AdBlock getting paid is messed up. I can't say that it entirely ruined the purpose though.
My parents don't need fine controls. They just need something to block most of the malware, adware and popups. That's the world we live in.
- epicide 9y agoI understand your point that they don't need fine grain controls, but does uBlock Origin require anything beyond the defaults? I'm just not seeing the benefit from using AdBlock Plus, anymore.
- user5994461 9y agoDepends what you mean by require. There are some important blacklists on both ublock and adblock that are off by default, they can be enabled.
- jrnichols 9y agoi agree. i don't think it ruined the purpose. the purpose (in my eyes, yours may see it different) was to reduce offensive, dangerous, and just plain obnoxious advertising. I don't mind a few unobtrusive ads. I really do mind those stupid ad overlays, ads that unroll themselves on top of the content I'm trying to read, and "scroll here for more" junk.
