This is all really FUDy regardless
adblock plus's whitelist policy is detailed publicly for obvious reasons, yes they do take money, only from companies where that amount of money would be a drop in the ocean, other companies get in free. Its a case of not people paying to get in, but ABP devs making large companies pay a fee to get in, to help fund ABP.

- bigbugbag 12y agoNot sure what you mean about privacy badger whose point is to automatically detect and block third party tracking but doesn't block first party tracking yet which seems to be exactly the bahviour you want (it is planned as an option). It is also based on Do Not Track. For the others, apart from the arguably conflicting business model, as I said the issue is one of privacy, ads are unacceptable because they collect data about me without visitor consent. I use adblockers (and a variety of other tools) to protect privacy, save bandwidth and protect computers from malware.
