minus-squarefluckx@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·6 days agoWhat could go wrong when you let an ad company dictate the browser standards/rules. I know we have Firefox and some forks like librewolf, but percentage wise it feels like a lost battle ( even if I am on Firefox ). If only people switched en masse to Firefox for the ad blocker. Wouldn’t that be something… One big collective FU to Google. Oh well. One can dream I guess.
minus-squareSoGrumpy@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 days agoThe average Joe or Jane have no idea about ad blocking possibilities. They think ads are just the normal price you pay for surfing the web. I have even shown people the difference between their browsing experience and mine, and still they can’t be arsed to install an ad-blocker. But then again, they use tiktok and Instagram and all the other brain-numbing shit out there.

They think ads are just the normal price you pay for surfing the web. Actually about a third of all users have an adblocker installed. Adblocking has been mainstream for a while, no doubt why Google finally stopped pretending they were OK with it.
