Do you use an ad blocker?

You wouldn't block an ambulance from getting to a hospital. You wouldn't block a mother from hugging her child. Why would you block an ad??

[BriggyDwiggs42]

I would, and do, actively block all three.

yeah thats wierd, I've only ever run whatever stock browser I've had, and never bothered with ad blockers. but people are really really into ad blocking and thats fine, I'm not going to bother tho, especially now as its becoming a whackamole thing.

the funny thing is most of the time I use firefox on linux with pretty much default settings, I let them give me all the cookies they want and a few sites still think I'm running an ad blocker. hehe whatever, the modern web is getting to be pretty trash anyways.

By whackamole, you mean choosing one of the same two browser extensions that have been around for 2 decades and forgetting about it?

Or one of the DNS blockers that have been pretty consistent too.

It may be a game of whackamole, but it's virtually invisible to end users of these tools.
