Nobody should ever use the internet without uBlock Origin.
Its super scary that there are many people not using it.
Yeah, whenever I hear people complaining about ads, I'm like "You guys are seeing ads?!"
I could understand if you needed to be some 1337 hacker to block ads, but uBlock is one of the easiest extensions I've ever used. You just set it and forget it. There's zero configuration you need to do.
Of course, if there's some ad that slips past, then you need to do some hacking, but that almost never happens nowadays.
It's a cultural problem.
Most people won't install adblockers unless they're around others to tell/show them how.
