TunnelBear Blocker is based off of uBlock Origin, and we would like to thank its developers for all the tremendous hard work they have put in to make such a fantastic blocker.
Additionally, we would like to thank the maintainers of the various list filters for their tremendous work and contribution to the community, along with the developers behind PixelBlock, whose works are used as part of TunnelBear Blocker.
The goal of TunnelBear Blocker is NOT to supersede uBlock Origin, but to offer a simpler, user-friendly alternative for a broader audience.
TunnelBear Blocker was developed with love in Toronto, Canada, by a group of privacy-loving individuals who believe in simple privacy for everyone.
