I always forget how many intrusive ads are on the internet. One time I shared a link to one of my family members and they almost got a virus because of a pop-up ad. The web is actually unusable without uBlock Origin.
I shared a link from a movie streaming site not knowing that without uBlock Origin the page was covered in nearly pornographic mobile game ads.
... pornographic mobile game ads
... What? Jesus.
nearly pornographic, which describes pretty much all mobile game ads.
Ah the old scantily clad warrior woman being used to advertise... a match-3 game.
I've been jumpscared by hentai ads when I accidentally followed a pirating link to safari rather than firefox. Movie streaming sites are some of the worst offenders.
this is the #1 reason, #2 being the initial reason I started using adblockers in 2010, ads with audio
ublock origin is the best! I currently use it to filter out all twitter blue users :)
Why are you on the birdsite?
to suffer
uBlock is terrible, use brave browser. I cant even use the internet with ublock or adblock plugins, the amount that leaks through is annoying AF.
