When it comes to dealing with advertisements when they're surfing on their browsers. I've just learned recently about how Google has or is killing UBlock Origin on the Chrome browser as well as all Chromium based browsers too.

We've heard for years about people complaining, bitching, whining and vice versa about how they keep seeing ads. And those trying to help them, keep wasting time to tell these people that they're surfing without extensions. Whether it'd be on Chrome or Firefox or another browser.

By this point, I've long stopped being that helper because if you cared at all about the advertisements you see, you would've long had gotten on the wagon of getting adblockers by now. You bring this onto yourself.

I didn't think folks actually care about ads as much as you think. This place is a bubble in that regard.

For me that America isn't a hellscape for most. Yes there is disparity and it's growing, we should correct that. But gen z is still buying homes (more than millennials), most people have decent albeit over priced health care, and live better than large portions of the world.

You laugh but it draws the ire of folks here and on reddit to a lesser degree.

Nothing to do with ads for me, it's user tracking.
