Subject: Time for a forked "adblock users cooperative not for profit" ?
To: "econowmix@googlegroups.com" <econowmix@googlegroups.com>, "op-n-m@googlegroups.com" <op-n-m@googlegroups.com>


Enable the users to have access to a "points" system earned via non filtered ads,
and choose where to channel the money related to such income ?

The software is open source :
code :
https://github.com/adblockplus
https://adblockplus.org/en/source

But the main current model is for profit ?

See :

http://www.digitaltrends.com/web/adblock-plus-accused-of-shaking-down-websites/

Adblock Plus approached the company and offered to push ads through the extension’s filters in exchange for a third of the profits generated by the advertising.

AdBlock is an open source,[1] content filtering and ad blocking extension for the Google Chrome, Apple Safari, Mozilla Firefox and Opera web browsers
