Performance and security may be my primary reasons for using an ad-blocker, but I must also admit that I would not remove the blocker even if those issues were addressed. On the rare occasion that I have used a computer without an ad blocker, I have found that advertising is so intrusive that I would rather not use the web.
- mitchdoogle 3y agoThis is why I don't read news articles on my phone. It's absolutely ridiculous what publishers do with ads
- Sohcahtoa82 3y agoI run a PiHole in the cloud and VPN into it from my phone. Does the job of blocking ads pretty damn well. What often ends up happening though is there will be a big empty box where the ad is supposed to be. And it's outright appalling how many ads they try to shove onto your screen. Every paragraph is separated by an ad.
