I haven't had any security issues it 10+ years, often without ad blocking. And I'm more afraid of an internet that is only Facebook, Amazon and Breitbart and what it will do to the civil society.
- ihsw 10y agoConsidering the NYT / WSJ / Guardian have shown themselves to be senseless immoral propaganda outlets/unofficial PR firms for the highest bidder, I will absolutely and unshakingly shed no tears. Every single media outlet can be burned to the ground for all I care, there will always be a new one to readily and eagerly take its place. Find me a media outlet that actually has moral standards and I will happily concede, but before that I will sleep soundly at night knowing that ad-blocking is the best way to defeat propaganda as well as protecting myself from malware.
- Karunamon 10y agoNowadays? Yes, absolutely. Their job nowadays is to influence, rather than inform. I wouldn't shed a single tear to see all of them gone tomorrow. Your subtle signalling of including Breitbart in your list of things that will do unspecified bad things to "the civil society" did not go unseen.
