From https://ublockorigin.com/ https://ublockorigin.com/ itself: "The uBlock Origin project still specifically refuses donations at this time, and instead advises all of its clients, users and supporters to donate to block list maintainers." As an example, I donate to https://patreon.com/blocklist https://patreon.com/blocklist . Amazingly, right now, there are only 43 patrons.

  I donate to oisd.nl -- the wife approved Pi-Hole DNS list that can also work with uBo.

    Unfortunately, the list doesn't seem to be compatible with piHole (at least >5.0), and in searching around there's some beef between pi-hole folks and the oisd maintainer. I won't perpetuate it by posting links, but it's sad to see for sure.

      dbl.oisd.nl (and hosts.oisd.nl for that matter) are Pi-Hole compatible.

Head's up for anyone going down this route: uBlock Origin is going to be gimped when Chrom{e,ium} switches exclusively to Manifest V3.

    > Whats Manifest V3? In simple terms, it's Google's attempt to stop AD-blockers interfering with their business model.

    Modern browsers share a "standard" list of APIs for plugins, that makes it possible to write a plugin that runs in both Chrome and Firefox. Google decided to remove several APIs for "performance" and "privacy" reasons from the third version of that list. It just happens that all dropped APIs where used by ad blockers and that some of the announced "replacement" APIs weren't even able to handle the most commonly used static block lists. As far as I understand the replacement APIs where developed in cooperation with Ad block plus, which just happens to allow Googles ads under its acceptable ads program.

  I think it’s very much still an “if” not a “when”. Chrome will stop being a lot of peoples’ recommended browser if they do this, and could well end up losing them a lot of users.
