      Yup. If websites respected me, I’d respect them back and not need uBlock Origin.

      Agreed.

      People seem to forget that in the past you didn’t run a constant antivirus on your computer constantly, and would just occasionally run a scan if suspicious activity happened. At least until malicious web activity became so bad and everyone HAD to run antivirus.

      We are approaching that point for web blockers.

        To be fair, I don’t run antivirus, but that’s because I use relatively unpopular operating systems (macOS for work, Linux for home).

        But I absolutely run an ad blocker, the web just isn’t usable without one.
