I literally haven't seen anyone even mention it anywhere on the internet as if it never existed, when it comes to Ad blockers I always see uBO recommended with absolutely no mention whatsoever of ABP why? What makes it better than ABP? What happened to it? or maybe I'm wrong and ABP is not as well known as I think it is.
I have been using ABP for many years until someday don't remember when I switched to uBO because I read that it is "the best ad blocker".
I maybe need a history lesson as everything on the matter seems so vague to me and the whole situation is super weird
Adblock Plus is not recommended as by default it allows certain promoted ads to show if it deems them unobtrusive. I think they actually receive profits from ads, which is asinine for an adblocking entity.
On the other hand, uBlock does much more than just block ads. First of all, it blocks all ads, and it blocks other trackers and annoyances from Facebook, Google, as well as having the ability to add custom rules for bypassing certain types of popovers, and to clean up tracking data that often gets appended when you click a URL.
Am I the only one that has a problem with this? Unless you're paying for use of a site then aren't you basically being entitled to someone else's labor?
Someone made the site, created the content, and hosted it for consumption. Until money isn't necessary for survival it seems reasonable to make sure they're compensated for it.
Ads nowadays are
That's a no from me
If you're blocking them all how do you know how obtrusive or obnoxious they are?
Secondarily, why do you think that is? Have they gotten more or less instant since ad blockers have been an option?
I'm not at all against ad blockers. I've got a Pi-hole myself. I just think blocking every ad ever is doing a lot more for the problem than it is to help
Every now and then, I deactivate my blocker because I'm curious to see, and I almost throw up
Sounds like a pretty weak constitution if you can't stomach looking at something so mundane. I hope you don't drive.
And great job ignoring the other part.
Aren't you a nice fella
