ad blocking is cyber security, don't let anyone ever convince you differently

Internet is absolutely unusable without ad blockers. And when ads get forced through a service, I stop consuming that service.

I never use the internet without an ad blocker. If a website asks me to disable mine I just won't use it.

Just imagine getting ads while watching that

The worst part is that more and more websites are either trying to force you to give up adblock or have ways to get around it. There's only like one website I whitelist and that's because they offer an valuable service to me.
