- Cthulhu_ 8y agoWhy the "not too much"? IIRC Adblock was "compromised" in a way because it was more profitable for them to make deals with advertisers. If they made more money off of donations they wouldn't need to sell out.
- user812 8y agoWell, it was kind of humourous, based on the idea that ad-tech will switch to first-party proxies when too many people use Pi-Hole. But on a more serious note, it is simple products like AdGuard DNS which will probably make Ad-Tech sweat more, because it's so easy to use for average users. Adblock was compromised due to lack of integrity imho.
- move-on-by 8y agoPi-Hole is a bit different too in that they do not maintain any block lists. It does come pre-installed with several lists, but maintained by 3rd parties. Its also very easy to add items to the block lists or import new lists. I think having this separation of powers is wonderful and will aid in the protection of the project.
