@ravikiran_dev7 Why would he do such a thing though? I don't get it

The biggest threat to Google's ad business isn't Meta or Apple. It's a man with a text editor who doesn't even accept donations 🤯
Meet Raymond Hill.
> Nobody knows his real face.
> Nobody knows his background.
> Goes by "gorhill" online. That's it.
> In 2014 quietly built an ad blocker. Alone.
> No team. No funding. No company. Just code.
> Called it uBlock Origin.
> Free. Open source. No strings attached.
> Every other ad blocker was taking money from advertisers.
> Letting "acceptable ads" through for a fee.
> He refused. Completely. 💀
> People tried to donate. He said no.
> Companies tried to buy him out. He said no.
> Brave offered to bring him on. He said no.
> Said accepting money in any form could compromise him.
> So he just... kept building. For free. For years.
> Grew to 40 million users across Chrome and Firefox.
> Became the most popular Firefox extension in history. 🚀
> Then Google came for him.
> Manifest V3 — a Chrome update that quietly gutted ad blockers.
> Every major ad blocker bent the knee and adapted.
> He refused. Said the new system was fundamentally inferior.
> Google removed uBlock Origin from Chrome. Entirely.
> He didn't beg. Didn't negotiate. Didn't compromise.
> Just told everyone switch to Firefox.
> Mozilla then made a mistake reviewing his extension.
> Disabled it over false claims.
> He publicly proved every claim wrong. Line by line.
> Then pulled the extension himself. On his own terms.
> Fought Google. Fought Mozilla. Both times alone.
> Still maintains the project today. Still unpaid.
> Still refuses every dollar sent his way.
> Said "It stopped being a hobby when it felt like a tedious job. So I made it mine again."
> No money. No team. No name. Just took on trillion-dollar Google and made them blink
The trillion-dollar ad empire is genuinely scared of one developer with a text editor
Absolute Legend 🗿 🔥

Unpopular opinion: Harry Styles is a bigger pop star than Michael Jackson

@Liamsz007 I will die on this hill😂😂
Harry Styles is basically the biggest artist in the world

@Pearlyi_n_ Nah...... Drake is the Micheal Jackson of the generation

@DuskJohn1 Drake is a more successful rapper and artist, but Kendrick Lamar is a better rapper...

@Elvinaife Thes are completely different animes, Solo Leveling is more of fun and action.. Aot story and plot. I honestly love both, but i prefer AOT a bit. Everything comes down to personal preferences, so people should stop hating on Soli Leveling

@smokesthegiant Bruh, what's your obsession with Korra. Btw i was fine with her, not until they made her bisexual fuck

Coolest part of this (other than Wukko getting a real laptop) is the sheer number of people who tried out Helium because of it 🫡

My man @uwukko is building my favorite browser (helium) on an M1 with 16gb RAM. I’m donating $2,000 to help him get a better Mac. If one of my rich friends wants to match it, he can get 64gb. If two do, he can do 128 👀

@JardCham @CodeByNZ Yeah fair, iPhone polished all of that and made it mainstream ,but Android wasn't just copying, it brought its own ideas to the table too. Things like widgets, custom launchers, file managers, and true multitasking. The ecosystem today was as a result of pushing each other
