the internet is insufferable without it, and many people (including some IT people) seem to not even mind it. it blows my mind.

Even with an ad blocker it’s insufferable though. Every time a page ask me to sign up for their stupid newsletter I want to punch a hole in my screen.

ublock origin has a few lists named “annoyances” or something that arent enabled by default.

enabling them gets rid of almost all of the popups and i cant live without it anymore.

this includes cookie nags and all the miscellaneous stuff they throw at you.

I don’t use an ad blocker. I do mind ads but I also want to adhere to the social contact: I subject myself to ads for the free content.

Apparently it’s up to 1/3 of people using some form of adblocking now!
