  My response to google or any of their adjacents is “wait people are seeing ads?”

  Even though i know that yes, the majority do just let the ads blare into their brain. I just don’t engage with them to a point that it surprises me people still have energy to complain about em.

  Recently told one of my friends about ublock and he was flabbergasted. He’d been just raw dogging the internet since its creation. Was more surprised he never stopped to think “maybe it doesn’t have to be like this.”

    Yea, that’s a point, but I suspect that most people don’t know how to block them.

    And at work, I don’t have ad block of any kind. Rarely matters, but sometimes.

      I managed to install LibreWolf + uBlock on my work computer. I haven’t fucked around with custom filters on that setup but power user mode is on and most 3rd party stuff is blocked. And JS is disabled by default.

      It’s actually quite refreshing: pages load superfast and because most of my internet searching is technical documentation/blogs/stack overflow, not having JS running doesn’t bother me 90% of the time.

      Even when they know it’s sad how little effort people are willing to put forth

        People have more energy to complain than to fix.
