    works at Google

    makes anti-tracking software

    Hmm, create the problem and sell the solution, well played…

    Jk, doing something like this despite working at Google is freaking admirable, the guy even put a screenshot of “untracking” a YouTube URL in the project’s README, lol.

    Btw, I thought I’d seen this name before and he’s the same guy behind the awesome Material Files!

      I think being paid well makes it easier to commit time towards FOSS projects, so a lot of contributors are from similar backgrounds
