    How people can deal with internet without adblockers like uBlock is just baffling. Not only ads, but also all the cookie banners and phone app popups and other crap. uBlock will filter all this shit out so you just use the website without junk and annoyances.

    I’ve used the original Windscribe back when it was still a regular x86 app that acted like a local proxy and would filter out ads and banners. That was early 2000s iirc. Even back then I couldn’t stand all this crap. Today I can’t imagine browsing without uBlock or at minimum with DNS filtering which can’t apply cosmetic filters or more advanced rules.

      AdNauseam. It clicks all the adverts. Yes, this is actively malicious behaviour. No, I don’t care.

        Malicious against advertisers, beneficial to the site you’re visiting.
        That’s a win-win in the desolate place we call the internet today.
