And it works! (or at least they've got 'a side-hustle' that supports them while they generously volunteer their time to make sure advertisers don't waste their money by spending it on ads that get in our way & make us hate them)

Updating my FREE AdBlock, they gave me another upgrade-offer (available through the bold hyperlink below); but first, I'm sometimes curious about that word ... and you probably are too, so I'll share my discoveries and link to my discoveries about the foundations beneath some of the other words too.
The word “Ask” is built on ancient words that mean “to Wish, Desire (Seek).”

Just in case AdBlock put that page behind a 'firewall' that only we AdBlock-ers can get-through, the page reads:

Your AdBlock can be improved!

We're fortunate to have an engaged and growing community. This year, we’ve been focused on building additional ways to help our users enjoy an internet experience with fewer pop-ups and distractions, easier access to content, and better privacy protection. We've highlighted that work below.
AdBlock is free, user-supported software. The vast majority of people will never pay to use our software, and it's important to us that AdBlock is available for everyone, regardless of whether they can contribute or not. This year we've invested hundreds of hours in building products that block more pop-ups, protect your privacy via our AdBlock VPN, and make the internet easier to use. We'd love for you to check them out. Every subscription helps!

What's new?

We’ve made it easy to block more ads, pop-ups, and trackers. Make any contribution to get improved ad blocking.

And of course I double-checked (but still just suspect- ... because what do we EVER know for sure) that AdBlock & AdBlock Plus are two different, almost-unrelated programs.
