Are they, though? I’ve been using Firefox and uBlock Origin for years and I’ve not had an issue other than needing to manually update my filters three times since this started.

Yeah, however "worse" it is for adblock users, it can't compare to how awful the ads are.

Exactly. I've spent 15 seconds of my life overcoming this three times. Click, click, click.
