I guess adblock will take a generous cash donation from google to show all their ads now. Or maybe they bought them to destroy it :lol:

Adblock, a popular extension for blocking advertising in Chrome and Safari with more than 40 million users, was quietly sold today.

The extension displayed a popup on October 1 saying that it is now allowing EyeO’s acceptable advertising — which allows advertisers to buy their way onto the whitelist — through the filter.


What’s strange is that the company won’t disclose who it’s been sold to, why it was sold, or how much it was sold for.
