You’re paying for an ad blocker? uBlock origin is free and fully featured.
Comment on YSK that Amazon has different prices for different people

Adblock premium cost is wildly different based on location.
Using a VPN I have found everything from $15/yr to $40/yr

I pay for Mullvad VPN, that’s €60/yr ($65)
I know it’s much but I prefer mailing them a letter with the money to stay anonymous

I am using mullvad vpn as well.
I am saying that AdBlock premium has a different cost based on your location, which you can switch with your VPN.

Use uBlock origin instead. Cost is $0, forever, and it has the best adblocking by far.
foggy@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It is not the best adblocking by far, that is not accurate.
It is better than the free AdBlock extension, yes. It is not better than AdBlock premium. No more cookies popups, no more floating video players on news sites, no more mailing list popups. These are three things that you do not get with ublock origin. I know because I use both.
I already use adgaurds DNS, which is free.
Lastly, I’m more than happy to pay $15/yr to a company fighting a fight I believe in. Now, I wouldn’t pay $40/yr, but if all I need to do is change my VPN from New Jersey to Montreal to get more than 50% off that price, it’s a no brainier.
My only complaint is they don’t have a Firefox mobile extension, so when I’m on my phone I’m stuck with janky-ass ublock origin and nothing better.

I buy IVPN sub with Monero, so it’s private. I’mma try Mullvad next time.

I think it’s neat. You create an account, get a random number, choose a password. Then you have the option to send them a letter containing the money and a piece of paper with your random number and they’ll add the time to your account

that’s just regional pricing. it makes sense and is pretty standard.
