- Get Firefox
- Get uBlock Origin: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/
Step 1 is critical because ad blockers on Chrome (for obvious reasons) have some limitations. Even the developer of uBlock origin recommends Firefox: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/uBlock-Origin-works-best-on-Firefox
Alternatively. Get Adnausem
It is built on top of ublock origin and will “click” on the adverts behind the scenes and make advertisers think you like a product messing with your advertising profile.
It also has a nice AdVault so you can see what advertisers are trying to push onto you.
Adblock Plus sold themselves out so fucking bad lmao
Yeah, it was obvious when the original dev sold out, but I could never be seen in public again at this point. It’s a disgrace. “hey look guys, it’s the one who saved the internet and then sold their dignity because they are a massive pussy!” every second of every day has to be brutal. That check could never be enough for that.
Just get uBlock Origin instead. Years ago I made the switch and never looked back!
I believe what they’re referencing is sites that require you disable your ad blocker to access; they’re saying you will be able to bypass those gates while keeping your ad blocker enabled
Still enshitification though. Fuck everything about this
If you’re going to spend €40, you might as well get a Raspberry Pi and setup a PiHole. You cam also run your own Mastodon server and Lemmy instance on it if you set them all using Docker.
Why the fuck are people still using adblock? They did a similar thing many years ago already, which is when ublock properly took off.
