I wish that were true. Although uBlock Origin does a good job, some ads definitely still make it through. There are also some sites that detect ad blockers and refuse to let you in unless you disable it. There are workarounds for some of these, but it's still a bit of a mess.
- emayljames 6y agoI agree, although to add, uBlock Origin has an 'annoyances' list that does a pretty good job of stopping detectors.
- michaelmior 6y agoThanks for the reminder that I hadn't enabled this in my current browser :)
- sbarre 6y agoIf a website doesn't let me in because I use an ad blocker, I respect their decision and I leave the site and find what I need elsewhere. I have yet to come across a site that offered something so unique or compelling that I decided to turn off my ad blocker to use it.

- michaelmior 6y agoIt can "detect" if JS is disabled (by loading content via JS) so this doesn't always work.
