    I think the day an adblocker starts charging people is the day that companies either try to sue them into non-existence with lawsuits they know will fail.

    Either that or nobody will pay for it because they’re used to getting adblockers for free. They’ll just move to another one or maybe one that’s FOSS.

      They’ll just move to another one or maybe one that’s FOSS.

      All the major ones are already open source. uBlock Origin, uBlock, AdBlock, AdBlock Plus and AdGuard are all licensed under GPLv3. If anyone fancied starting another competing one for some reason they’d have plenty of codebases to choose from.

    That doesn’t make sense. uBO would just be forked.
