Normies still be using anything other than ublock :( when will they learn
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'm not sure you know what a couple is. Also, arguing with IE of all browsers is not going to make a strong case either.
Point at the case, because mine was an affirmation that it wasn't good as I reluctantly 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.
Yeah we should start calling them ublockers
No ublock for Safari, which, yeah, is Apple’s fault for being dicks, but it still sucks.
