      It really has. Ublock is so versatile, too. It can block pretty much anything. I loathe using browsers without it installed.

      I even install it on work computers. It’s not just plainly sexually explicit ads. It’s malware. Just say no to ads.

      it’s about to get EVEN MORE unusable, because increasingly the alleged/so-called “content” behind the nag-wall is utterly mindless AI-generated sludge.

        Also so many sites that haven’t given in to the ad content farm / have found it to not be worth it are now just putting up paywalls… which I’m okay with in principle, but in reality I can’t afford to subscribe to 20 different sites I only read occasionally

        There’s going to need to be a new model of revenue sharing somehow at some point. I wouldn’t mind paying for one subscription that gave me broad access, but the problem then is the control that gives whoever collects the money (e.g. YouTube Premium)
