Rory (ID: 0000007c5330f47a) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 07/03/2015 Was great until their donation page started opening every time i open my browser. EVERY SINGLE TIME. i understand you're open source and working on donations but don't ruin your software for advertising, the very thing your extension is designed to block.
