- blendergeek 5y ago> Adblock Plus is owned by Eyeo GmbH which supposedly earns millions through it's 'acceptable ads' program. That is not wild speculation but rather the official narrative from Adblock Plus. Their main revenue stream is the acceptable ads program [1]. In order to see if they make "millions", I am also linking their financial statements from the Company Register in Germany [2]. Please note that this document is in German and I read it using machine translation software.

- throwaway78981 5y agoSo, are they making millions?
- blendergeek 5y agoI believe so. But I dont read German very well and I don't trust Google Translate so I am not ruling on that claim.
