I added some lines to my uBO custom filters and fixed this, thanks to some comment in a prior discussion about this. I do wonder why light mode is the default though, since historically computers had bright characters on black screens, and

There's comments on LinkedIn? To me, LinkedIn is a place to post my resume and communicate with recruiters, and that's it. Why would you ever use it for anything else?

I know this adds complexity, but one way to handle this is simply transparency, and another way is to add choice: on the donation web page, give donors a choice if they want their money to possibly be used to fund other, related projects, t
