That may be fair (though there's some ambiguity to me in the word "sought"), but I hope he knows that if he loses his day job or has health problems or something like that he can go to the community. uBlock origin is worth hundreds of dollars a year to me, and I'm by no means rich.

Well this is exactly why we wanted to hive him money. Hopefully if he gets bored someone else will carry the torch.

Last time that happened uBlock was captured by the enemy.

Interesting. Is that where the Origin in uBlock comes from?

Yes.

Well, I'm not seeking money when I walk down the street, but I wouldn't consider it rude if someone decided to throw some at me. (assuming cash, not coins thrown at my head though even then, if they're quarters, I'm picking those up)
