    I wonder how much time their devs spend working on a new ad block detector scheme that gets shown to a couple dozen people before ublock origin adds it to the default filters and none of their users see it again.

    I wonder if they get frustrated or just laugh and get back to the endless job. Or if they also write some of the ublock filters themselves.

      This is a cold war happening in the background of the internet. If the advertising industry wins, everybody loses. Advertisement is intrusive by design.
