  Adblockers should not be required for browsing the internet, and especially not for reading articles.

    Yet they have been for at least a decade. So why would anyone still not be using one?

      I know. But I would rather nobody need one. Which is why even though I have an adblocker, I don’t go to sites that have ads or paywalls in them if I can avoid it.

      Saying “just use an adblocker” isnt solving the problem IMO. It is only a temporary mitigation that is usually effective at best and borderline useless at worst. Its like going to your doctor and telling them about pain and your doctor says “just take painkillers.” Like yes, it makes the pain subside, but it doesn’t solve the problem.
