moments that make you think, things sure could suck even harder if I wasn’t such a nerd

Yeah. It always throws me through a loop when people complain about ads in websites I post.
Some people just seem not to have the allergic reaction to them. Like, they’ll complain but somehow installing a simple adblocker or prioritizing their privacy is too many orders of magnitude of mental labor.
So they’re just accustomed but talkative about it
People will ask me sometimes to take a quick look at their computer and after one glance at the browser I deploy uBlock. I can’t imagine seeing the internet without it.
My BIL asked me how I was streaming sports so I sent him the site and he complained that the site i sent him to had a bunch of ads. I always forget there are people in the year of our lord 2026 who still don’t use ad blockers. I thought web condoms were widespread by now.
hipfire would be a good name for an adblocker
ublock origin = normal brain
ublock origin after learning filter xhr script 1p 3p from to syntax = galaxy brain
I was ready to jump ship after Google pushed manifest v2 extensions out of their webstore for good 2 weeks ago, but I decided to give uBlock Origin Lite a chance, and it’s surprisingly capable. So far I haven’t seen the difference between full fat uBO besides extra tools like being able to only disable Javascript on a page for example - that was a very neat feature I do miss. But adblocking-wise it’s doing just as well.
