If only, I know so many people who don't bother with adblocking at all. I honestly have no idea how they use the Internet without going mad
The way people talk about people who don't block ads is so funny.
I understand and respect the reasons people choose to use blockers, but ads honestly just aren't that problematic for me in practice and are easy to avoid and ignore.
You never visited the not-sheltered web...
You say with such confidence. Is it so hard to imagine people can defend themselves with means other than ad blocking?
Please tell me what other ways you can block ads other than ignoring them or not visiting the web at all.
Btw: Custom apps (like it was for Reddit) don't count.
Huh? The point of this discussion is that I don't need to block them to keep myself safe in sketchy corners of the web.
