          Ublock doesn’t fully work but there are extensions to block ads on Photopea.

            Beyond it not being FOSS and requiring an Internet connection, ads are beyond a dealbreaker for me. I’d recommend the cost and effort of manually compositing with transparent film, lightbox, and cameras over anything with ads.

            Yeah, the dev has a right to make a living but there are better ways than contributing to the rot of the Internet and inserting vectors for malware into your software.

            poor FOSS alternatives

            So you’d rather have ADs in place of a Layers panel?


            For those who can't read between the lines

            The fact that it has ADs, is also considered as one of the factors deciding its quality.
            And so is the fact that it can’t be run when the internet connectivity is slow/non-existent.
            Not considering those features as factors while judging the application just gives incentive to everyone else (including the prepaid ones) to include ADs in their UX.

            If this is how we promote them, soon, you’ll be seeing ADs (on top of the Subscription fees) in Adobe software.
            - Hard to believe? Look at Windows.
