Have you thought about looking in to the problem yourself, or maybe just throwing some coffee money at the devs who are? I'd argue you should still be concerned about data collection even if you're successfully blocking ads. It doesn't worry you that some super-powerful faceless corporation tracks your every move in the real world? It's one of those things...it won't be a problem until it is ;-)

It doesn't really track my every move in real world either — I removed the location permission for the Google app and disabled the creepy as hell location history a while ago. It doesn't track anything at all in the virtual world because I have third-party cookies disabled and run ad blockers on everything I own. > Have you thought about looking in to the problem yourself, or maybe just throwing some coffee money at the devs who are? The problem with this particular thing — making a free software, non-Google NFC payment app — is that it's a regulatory hell and requires partnering with banks. No way an individual would be able to pull this off. Also probably no way to keep it open, I'd be surprised if there are no NDAs involved.
