Links (in case anyone is interested): 6.6.13 release notes which details being dropped by Startpage and starting to use 1.org.15 years of forking, blog post which is one of the non-Reddit sources of the Dev detailing funding issues ("There have been a few months in the red recently").Comment by the Dev on the GitHub discussion around the new inbuilt adblock. About halfway into it is where the Dev (again, at least they're being transparent and honest) discusses the technical how's and the financial why's of ads being let through by default on the default search provider (still Startpage at the time of the comment).
