    I use uBlock Origin in Firefox, with all the boxes ticked. It’s not only adds it blocks also plentiful of trackers. Just to make my visits on today’s web usable. As a result, my laptops / smartphone resources are saved up, more battery time or cooler device as example.

    Personally I like ads, totally ok for it - if informative, sharing some kind of relevant value with greater good. Companies should let the product or service itself advertise, not throw these on people constantly.

      This is why I whitelist duckduckgo in firefox in my ublock extension. I will gladly look at the relevant ads at the top of the list, knowing they are just that. I glance at them, most of the time it’s a sales pitch, I go “not interested” and just move down the page to the results. 100% fine with that.
