How do you even see ads at all? Must've been years since I last saw an ad (well, except brand names written on athletes/events shirts/backgrounds I guess...)
Every time I vacation at a relative’s house, it is excruciating seeing how the average person lives just voluntarily watching ads all the time. Even when I tip them off that they could have UBO within the next 60 seconds in the browser they are already using, it’s no good they just say “Oh, I’m fine like this.”
Oh trust me, even if you block them via pihole/DNS, use Unlock Origin, Sponsorblock ect.. you still run into ads when family members show you crap off their phones or TVs.
I will say, the only time I see ads on my own devices are on Twitch. It is so jarring when it happens. I almost never see ads, but Twitch seems to have figured out how to bypass everything I set up. If anyone happens to know how I can fix it, let me know! It's literally the only website I can see ads on and it's bothering me!
Twitch ads can be bypassed on pc via experemental ublock filters + firefox (in my experience chromium browsers even with mv2 support can't block twitch ads), but sometimes player can crash
Twitch does not show ads in certain countries. I set my VPN to Bulgaria if I want to watch twitch.
Luckily, all family members have the same setup I have.
Easy fix, close the tab. 😉
