MODERATORS
So, a paid ublock origin experience?
Worse. If you pay, they still collect your data. With Ublock, a lot of trackers are blocked.
It's even worse than that: when you pay they now have your full legal name, payment information and home address. More than they likely had before you opted out of advertising!
Absolutely right.
