1. Premium? · 2022-11-28 16:37 · #

   Putting blocking some items behind a paywall? Everybody else long moved to uBlock Origin. Guess it is time for me to play catch up.

   Reply from Thomas Greiner:

   This update contains no changes to any existing functionality. You can still use Adblock Plus the same way as before, and you can continue to block any elements that you want to block.

   Premium is meant to offer new features that add additional value for those users who want it, and that may require more time and effort to maintain than others. It’s also a way to directly support the continued development of the extension for all users, so we are determined to continue to fix bugs and to add new features for everyone with future updates.
