From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

So.. does it block Ads ?
Doesn't appear to.
But looks like even GNOME Web supports extensions now. So no reason that something like uBlock origin couldn't be implemented right?
When I last tried it (around the time that article was posted, could've improved since), you needed to mess with gconf to enable the feature, which was for good reason because the compatibility was abysmal (ublock origin did not work and neither did dark reader or violentmonkey or really any extension I wanted to use).
