- mrkramer 3y agoNot quite true, around 800 million people use adblockers[0]. [0] https://www.statista.com/topics/3201/ad-blocking/ https://www.statista.com/topics/3201/ad-blocking/
- pseudalopex 3y agoThat is a minority of browser users.
- mrkramer 3y ago30% of adblock user penetration in the US is not that neglectable.
- pseudalopex 3y agoThat is a different claim. And many of them used DNS ad blocks probably. Or were happy with Safari extensions.
- scriptingforfun 3y agoAnd growing. People are waking up. I've been a Pi-hole user for 7 years now. I will never not use something like it. Works on phones, laptops, TVs, everything. Since Pi-hole won't block ads on YouTube, I use uBlock Origin for this on my laptop, PopTube on phone, and for my TV, disabled the NIC, put my Firestick in developer mode, downloaded SmartTubeNext and have not seen an ad on any platform I control in years. I cannot fathom how people deal with ads. SmartTubeNext also blocks sponsors, which are just as bad. The second some YTer starts to shill, that's the second I bail from their channel. Finding indy channels that just provide info is increasingly difficult.
