they use FLoC now to track their users so they can afford to drop the cookies
Exactly, they're trying to kill the competition but they're obviously not going to damage their business.
Breaking loose the discussion: Whats the better add-on: adguard or ublock origin?
The general consensus is ublock origin. It's best on Firefox and I've had no issues with it
A lot of the internet is unusable without ublock origin IMO.
Especially on mobile. News sites are legit impossible to use, let alone tolerate.
I use AdGuard on my iPad, they're probably the best ad blocker for iOS. But yeah, uBlock Origin is the go-to everywhere else.
Adnaseum is better. It actively tries to help websites by "clicking through" all tracking ads without accepting a return payload so it is safe for you. This means the website you are browsing gets the income from the ad clicks and you have an ad free experience. This also obsficates your online presence by clicking everything.
That's not going to be very useful for very long. Advertisers will very quickly wise up and find a way to detect this.
The plugin has been active for 4+ years and still works. It will get detected as more people use Firefox.
Adnas, even though it's based on ublock, I've noticed it doesn't catch an ad occasionally even when set up the same.
uBlock. Adguard is probably fine for what it is but uBlock Origins is far and away the gold standard.
adnauseam!
