Yeah they really need a Ko-Fi[0] or Patreon[1] link in the README IMHO.
But that said, looks like they don't want donations[2]
> I don't want the administrative workload coming with donations. I don't want the project to become in need of funding in any way: no dedicated home page + no forum = no cost = no need for funding. I want to be free to move onto something else if ever I get tired working on these projects (no donations = no expectations).

- ihuman 5y agoThe README also says they don't want donations > Free. Open source. For users by users. No donations sought.
- josefx 5y ago> Yeah they really need a Ko-Fi[0] or Patreon[1] link in the README IMHO. I am quite sure that kind of nonsense lead to the Origin fork. As far as I understand the old uBlock project was taken over by a contributor who offered to manage user requests but immediately started to look for ways to monetize it and things only went downhill from there.
- ask_b123 5y agoYou mean things went gorhill from there? :-) But yes, although I'd be quite happy to donate to uBO (it is the only extension I find indispensable and I even abandoned Safari after it stopped working there), I cannot help but admire their stance on donations.
