That would explain why I didn’t have any problems with Youtube and uBlock Origin.

      Anyone and Everyone with the slightest of computer knowledge but paid shills are plugging ublock origin everywhere and anywhere they can , and yet people still choose other garbages. You’d think that maybe they’ll see that tiny ‘sponsored’ text on top of the search result when looking for an adblock and go " why an adblock would advertise itself on search engines? this reeks of garbage, data siphoning bullshit adblock " but no, they even go as far as to defend it. I can’t even bother with these people anymore.

        Adblock Plus was the only decent adblocker available for Internet Explorer 11 a couple of years ago. Only reason I used it.

        I miss when people trusted nerds instead of corporations. Applies to a variety of fields.

      I think part of the problem is that we refer to these as “ad blockers” so AdBlock is the first one people find when they look.
