If you’re looking for an alternative, we recommend 1Blocker (https://1blocker.com) by Salavat and Alex.
Salavat has kindly offered 3-months free to anyone switching from Better to 1Blocker and he will be donating 30% of all revenue from those accounts to Small Technology Foundation on a monthly basis to help fund our work.
To take advantage of this offer, please contact Alex via email at support@1blocker.com or on Twitter at https://twitter.com/1BlockerApp.
