Off-topic but: Does anyone know of a way to support TorrentFreak other than disabling adblock? They run next to no ads, don't have a donation form or paid offering, and yet have been a major source of news in "Big Tech vs Piracy" battles.


Unless you're looking for a VPN subscription, disabling adblock doesn't look to help them much.

I guess you can always get in touch with them and ask: https://torrentfreak.com/contact/

I love them so much!


Keep downloading torrents so they have news to write about!


Does your adblocker let you set exceptions?

I've got an FF profile with uBlock that's disabled on some sites like that.


I have a hard time disabling ad block on sites of this ilk due to their tendency to inject malware into their JS to prey on the unsavvy. I don’t trust that if I enable JS I won get hit with an aggressive malware / zeroday.
