eBlocker logo - Switch on Privacy
2024/12/19
Dear Newsletter Subscriber,

Exactly five years ago today, we were on the brink. Our company was insolvent, our dreams shattered, our life's work in danger. Everything we had created since 2014 to protect your
online privacy and to make the world a little bit better, was in risk of simply disappearing.

The first Christmas miracle
But we didn't just want to give up. Despite many setbacks, we joined forces and bought the eBlocker technology from the insolvency administrator at Christmas 2019. Our goal was to continue eBlocker as a non-profit open source initiative, supported by donations and a shared vision of better digital privacy.

Thanks to your donations, the first Christmas miracle was accomplished after just one day and funding for the project launch was secured. 🚀

5 years of successful development
Today, on our fifth birthday as an open source project, we look back with pride. Only thanks to your continued support and a small, passionate team of volunteers have we achieved what seemed impossible back then: eBlockerOS is alive!

Our software is stable, we have continuously improved it, and with the upcoming eBlockerOS 4, we will launch the next generation in 2025 - optimized for the new Raspberry Pi 5. But the progress of our project is once again at a crucial point.

Funding is challenging
We had hoped that our commitment to digital self-defense would meet with a greater response. But the reality is unfortunately sobering: the number of users and willingness to donate are stagnating, while costs are rising.

We are once again at a point where your financial support is crucial: together we can ensure that eBlockerOS 4 is not the last version of our successful ten-year history. Only with your financial help can we secure the future of eBlocker.

Another Christmas miracle?
With your donation today, you can help us continue to fight against advertising, tracking and the surveillance of your privacy with eBlocker in 2025.

Together, let's make another Christmas miracle possible. Help us keep eBlocker alive. Every little contribution counts.
Our passion and motivation to continue developing eBlockerOS is unbroken. We are determined to stand up to the “data octopuses” in 2025 and create a free Internet for everyone. Thank you for your support! 🙏

Merry Christmas and best wishes
Boris, Christian and the entire eBlocker team

PS: Of course, we are especially happy about “major donors”. Thank you, Theo R., Peter L., Stephen K. and Dirk M. for your generous support. You are simply great and we really appreciate your help! 🫂
