- lostlogin 1y agoAny adverts and the competition is over as far as I’m concerned. I happily pay not to see them.
- rafram 1y agouBlock Origin is free.
- lolc 1y agoSure an ad blocker improves the experience somewhat. But I try to keep adversarial relationships out of my life. I don't understand why people want to normalize this.
- mdaniel 1y agoOnly in Firefox or user-friendly browsers, otherwise uBlock Lite is free for Manifest v3 browsers
- rafram 1y agoBoth block all Google search ads fully and seamlessly.
- 0_gravitas 1y agobut they don't block sponsored/seo-gamed articles, no?
- rafram 1y agoNeither does Kagi, at least fully. Customizations help a bit until you need to search for something outside your usual focus areas. Anyone who claims to have created a search engine that truly surfaces the best links and ignores SEO is lying to you.
- 0_gravitas 1y agoThat covers half of it, and indeed I do also rely on community and personal block/deranking lists for SEO spam. Does ublock or ddg etc block sponsored results?
- jorvi 1y agoiOS Firefox doesn't support extensions nor does it have proper adblocking.
- lolc 1y agoI don't want to scroll around and decide what is real on every search.
- robertlagrant 1y agoThanks - I'll try and remember that!
