Without uBlock some sites are downright unusable. I dare you to go to weather.com or any fandom.com site with ad blockers, greasemonkey and NoScript deactivated and try not to lunch your monitor
Even with ublock, since it doesn’t stop the cookie banners. I struggle whenever I have to to consult the ASCII table. Why does a website whose whole purpose is to serve a static page of ~1KiB need a cookie banner and ads? Just put a fucking “reject all” button, you don’t need to suck in all my data to share with your 849 partners to show me an ASCII table.
It’s fucking bad for netflix and prime though too. Like every 3 minutes bad. I get free basic netflix with my work phone, so I watch it sometimes. Same with my partners work, they get prime. I’m not sure it’s even worth free tbh.
Given how ubiquitous ad blockers are now, I’m partially convinced that most are just masochists that want to suffer through that shit.

uBlock Origin has an “EasyList/uBO – Cookie Notices” list that you can turn on in the settings. It was a very good day when I found out.
