To be honest it wasn’t a thing anymore since some years already. I was a client of them and I stopped using Better facing too many issues and no help from the maintainers…

As an industry insider, it sounds much more like ITP (by now in version 2.3) is just the far superior approach to privacy protection — and Apple killed off third party plugins as a result (and further security risk).
