If you use a search engine, you need an Ad Blocker.
Not because "privacy:", not because "tracking", but because malicious ads exist, and you'll click on one eventually.
This is even more true for less technical family members.
- recursive 2y agoYou've completely overlooked the possibility of a search engine without ads. That's what I use.
- devsda 2y agoIf your search engine doesn't have ads that only means the adblocker has nothing to do except use some cpu cycles. Those cycles are mostly earned back when you visit a link with ads (unless the search results are limited to ad free sites). So, it's still a net positive to have an ad-blocker.
