This is what I think whenever using someone else's computer.

  Blows my mind when I'm watching someone just sit in silence waiting 10 seconds so they can skip an ad on youtube

    Was visiting distant family ~10 years ago in a small Yugoslav village. They had ~2mbit fixed wireless (w00t), but when I installed Adblock and dialed up their CRT to 85hz from 60, they didn’t even notice anything changed.

      Adblock is one thing, but why would anyone notice a 15 fps increase?

        Refresh rate != frame rate. Maybe you’re too young to have ever used a crt at 60hz.

        CRT at 60hz flickers very noticeably, and often causes eye strain + headaches after a few hours of use.

    on tablets pretty much everything directs you to the app and most people trust this is the best result which with regards to youtube can result in an incredible influx of ads

      There's an uBlock filter "ublock annoyances" that filters most of those annoying "open in app" messages. Pretty useful for reddit/imgur.
