      It really has. Ublock is so versatile, too. It can block pretty much anything. I loathe using browsers without it installed.

      it’s about to get EVEN MORE unusable, because increasingly the alleged/so-called “content” behind the nag-wall is utterly mindless AI-generated sludge.

        Also so many sites that haven’t given in to the ad content farm / have found it to not be worth it are now just putting up paywalls… which I’m okay with in principle, but in reality I can’t afford to subscribe to 20 different sites I only read occasionally

        There’s going to need to be a new model of revenue sharing somehow at some point. I wouldn’t mind paying for one subscription that gave me broad access, but the problem then is the control that gives whoever collects the money (e.g. YouTube Premium)

      I even install it on work computers. It’s not just plainly sexually explicit ads. It’s malware. Just say no to ads.
