I mean, let's be honest, going to a corporate media news site with an adblocker enabled is like going to McDonald's and just not buying any soda. The article might have slightly more informational value than an ad telling you to buy some stupid product, but it's still going to be severely biased and try and sell you a particular point of view.

Damn right I wouldn't. Not if I can help it.
Yes. If you take a look at their Codeberg, you'll see it's basically just a custom build script and a bunch of patches, so whenever a new version of Firefox rolls around, they just have to run their own build (and fix any patches in case they break) and they're off to the races.
Use LibreWolf then.
It's weird, blocking users has been a thing on reddit from the beginning, yet somehow people seem to insist that it has to be done on a community- or sitewide basis instead. "If I don't like it, NOBODY is allowed to agree."
I'm not suggesting you go back there at all, but if you absolutely must, here's how you can block the ads there.
That's because you don't get banned immediately for saying something even slightly controversial.
I finished my first run through Hitman 3, now doing some of the various challenges and escalations and trying out the freelancer mode.
Not gonna spoil anything, but the story was largely disappointing after the first, however, the level design is still pretty great, although there are certainly highs and lows, with the final level being by far the worst in the entire trilogy.
Freelancer mode is so-so. I like the idea, but the execution is occasionally a bit questionable. Whenever you start a contract, you spawn randomly at one of the entrances, which can either ruin your chances at completing the additional assignments or even ruin your run altogether (and jeopardize your entire campaign). There's no saving your game either, so when you fuck up, that's it.
Das Format hat Potenzial.
You're not wrong, it's kinda like going to McDonald's or Starbucks just to use the free WiFi — yeah you're consuming some of their resources which are intended for paying customers, but as long as you're not a dick about it and hang out for hours during the prime lunch or dinner rush, your presence is costing them nothing extra, or at least not enough to warrant them doing something about it.
I understand that companies are worried about losing business if too many people catch on to adblocking, but the irony is that the more they cry about it, the more people will realize that that was even an option at all (i.e. the infamous Streisand effect will strike again).
