I didn't think they took donations?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

They strictly use the donations to cover their infrastructure cost (website, docs, metadata API fees). They don't use donations to fund development, to avoid becoming for-profit at all cost.
And since they are currently sitting at ~$20k that they have yet to spend, they aren't pushing the donation options at all.

What they much rather need is actual contributors, that can help with development.

Gotcha, I think that's where I was getting confused

uBlock Origin doesn’t accept donations.

Pretty much all foss projects have donations with the exception of ublock origin
