Ublock Origin, privacy badger, pihole for home DNS.... Can't live without them
What does pihole do that Ublock does not?
Every non-PC, non-web browser on your network also reaps the benefit.
A DNS blocking system like Pihole can block ads on platforms you don't control, like smart TVs or mobile apps.
Honestly, personally I do not mind ads. But the amount of garbage that is loaded in the browser on popular sites make uBlock necessary for me.
Getting really sick of the “hurr hurr ads bad only idiots don’t use adblockers” circlejerk on here. I pay $8 for YT Premium which seems super fair for the 10-15 hours of content I get on there a week. I like supporting creators, a lot of which rely on ad revenue to continue making their channels.
For the rest of you that thinks you have the moral high ground from blocking ads, what do you think the solution is? Subscriptions don’t work, paywalls are easily bypassed, and more reasonable ads don’t generate enough revenue to keep sites in business. Content shouldn’t just be free, people deserve to be paid for their work.
Should the free internet just die and become a series of subscription silos? It seems to be going that way, and more ad blocking will just accelerate that more.
"tracker blocker or content blocker or adblocker, whatever you call it" ah yes expert
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
