Ad blocking is done business. Η δημοφιλής επέκταση Adblock, για την παρεμπόδιση της εμφάνισης διαφημίσεων στο Chrome και το Safari με περισσότερους από 40 εκατομμύρια χρήστες, πωλήθηκε.
The extension displays a pop-up window, from October 1 stating that the extension is now accepting ads from EyeO - which allow advertisers to purchase space in the list of allowed ads.
Buried at the bottom of that message was the most notable one change: Adblock has been sold.

The strange thing is that the company he did not disclose that it has been sold, who the buyer is and how much it was sold for.
Finally, how can an extension using 40 millions of users be credible when their new owner is completely anonymous?
The only sure thing information right now is that the tool's creator Michael Gundlach is no longer affiliated with the company.
