But also, I’d like we should be able to use internet without having to use uBlock Origin…

Agreed.

Advertising should be illegal.

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.

I know the answer. People is lazy unless they have interest in it. Everybody wants happiness biologically but nobody makes a move to have it. People hate Windows, tries to remove Edge, make performance settings, use 3rd party awful things to improve Windows, but nobody gives any other OS a try. Same thing for the browsers, extensions like that etc. People think its matrix-ish and something weirdo. Who would use Matrix instead of Discord? Who would use any FF fork instead of Opera GX or Chrome? Who would use Lemmy and any ActivityPub media instead of Meta products or Reddit etc. We are full of prejudice, and dont want to move out from the comfort zone. We dont want to make a important choice for our privacy-safety unless it become viral in TikTok.
