His work has saved me gigabytes, if not terabytes of data, and hours, if not days of attention time. Thank you very much gorhill. If you ever need a place to stay or just a coffee, you are very welcome.


someone ought to extrapolate the ammount of bytes and (work-)hours saved by ublock


If you count up the hours saved and divide by the average lifespan, he has probably saved more lives than an ER doctor.


Likewise if you count up all the $$$ in ad spend that he has blocked, he would probably be in the top 100 richest people.


10+ million users on the Chrome App Store, 1GB saved per year per user for say 5 years (pulling these numbers out of nowhere really but I think they’re fairly conservative) = 50 exabytes.
