Why not use an ad blocker?
- na85 10y agoWhy not both?
- SomeStupidPoint 10y agoI can use several things. Adblockers generally do two things: block specific domains and change the rendering of certain elements. Browsing with JS disabled handles things like stopping certain kinds of code -- even loaded from the primary domain -- from running. Layered defense usually works better than a single method, and advertisers, privacy violators, etc have shown a willingness to enter a full on arms race. So I responded in similar measure. The honest truth is I just don't want to do business with most people trying to run code on my computer, so if that's a sticking point for them on using their product, I just don't use it.
