That sounds like a sensible way to go about it to me. Suddenly all those services that nobody would actually pay for, that are simply designed to hook people and consume their time, would go away. A whole lot of services that people would actually pay for would suddenly change in focus because now they wouldn’t be driven my ad metrics and engagement metrics. E.g. You’d be paying for email so your email provider would just be a damn good email provider. So on.
- aiCeivi9 7y agoI hoped huge popularity of adblock would do the same, without the need for regulation. No need for clickbait title when visitors are only a cost.

- rubinelli 7y agoI switched to Firefox for Android after getting tired of ads that redirected to a landing page or Google Play and prevented me from actually using the site I wanted.
- rwz 7y agoMobile safari does support adblocks. https://1blocker.com/ https://1blocker.com/ seems to be the one most people recommend (I personally haven't tried it)
- kgwxd 7y agoDoes it have the ability to do ad/tracker blocking properly, or is it cripple in some way that still makes the data ads/trackers are able to collect valuable?
