Hey everyone! Maker here. Happy to answer any questions about the tech, privacy approach, or business model. A few things I get asked: "Why not just use uBlock Origin?" uBlock Origin is amazing, but it doesn't do fingerprint protection, hardware lockdown, or element picking. Also, uBlock Origin Lite (the MV3 version for Chrome) has significantly reduced functionality. Aran Shield was built for MV3 from day one. "How do you make money?" Freemium model. Free tier is genuinely useful (113K blocking rules). Pro is $0.99/mo for advanced features. No ads, no data selling, no "acceptable ads" programs. "Is this open source?" Not currently, but the extension code is fully inspectable in your browser (as all extensions are). Filter lists are open source (EasyList, CC BY-SA 3.0).
