This just pushed me to try make a donation, as I realised just how much of a headache uBlock saves me every day.
They don't accept donations. Gorhill you are a beautiful person.
- agumonkey 5y agoI second the gorhill thanking train. ublock is almost required infrastructure on my machines. os, editor, mpv, browser+ublock i'm so pissed that the courthouse admins didn't include it, our cripled network is filled with stupid ads that could have been avoided
- 7373737373 5y agoHis work has saved me gigabytes, if not terabytes of data, and hours, if not days of attention time. Thank you very much gorhill. If you ever need a place to stay or just a coffee, you are very welcome.
- hansel_der 5y agosomeone ought to extrapolate the ammount of bytes and (work-)hours saved by ublock
- galangalalgol 5y agoIf you count up the hours saved and divide by the average lifespan, he has probably saved more lives than an ER doctor.
- tornato7 5y agoLikewise if you count up all the $$$ in ad spend that he has blocked, he would probably be in the top 100 richest people.
