Abine gets it right. Supports a product fork.

thanks HN readers - any more suggestions are valuable. the debate between opt-in and opt-out is a fair one. i'd point out that Abine extends <i>exactly</i> the privacy cookie features that are the Foundation of TACO. that said, it was too big and abrupt to please the advanced user, and our product needs a lot of work.<p>what i'm really interested in is HN's advice in building a sustainable privacy company. one that is one the <i>users side</i> and not corrupted by advertising. plausible?

supporting the fork with updates to the opt outs is good, but the change to the add-on seems gratuitous.<p>a more user friendly approach would have been to give them the 'downgrade' update, and opened a tab offering the 'enhanced' abine privacy add-on. the update behaviour feels more appropriate for a scammy toolbar, than a useful privacy extension. among their target audience wouldn't this be a turn off?
