The paywall bypass part is what concerns me. All they do for paywall bypass is have an optional checkbox that allows users to use the BPC filterlist, not the main extension that will pretty much bypass all paywalls. The filterlist is pretty hit or miss a lot of times. But, if some kind of precedent gets set by this, it could jeopardize the legal standing of ad blockers & blocking certain type of content in your own browser. Too early to know if it would actually ever play out like that, however.
