If Germany moves forward with classifying DOM/CSS modifications as a copyright violation, this could set a really troubling precedent—not just for ad blockers but for any extension that customizes the browsing experience (like accessibility tools or dark mode).

Re:Funding Open Source like public infrastructure on Thursday August 14, 2025 @11:17AM (#44901419)
Treating open source as public infrastructure makes sense—so many critical projects run on volunteer labor, yet the whole ecosystem depends on them.
