Once I was using a girlfriend's laptop and I told her very casually "I'm adding an adblock" when she replies me "no don't block them, I like them because sometimes I find nice offers in the ads" and I froze. I wasn't expecting that and I was so baffled like "what do you mean you like them, how do you live seeing more ads than what you originally came for" lol

sure if you prefer to support the google monopoly
firefox for android + ublock origin and/or adguard-dns
yeah you're right actually. I always use it combined with a local browser adblock and didn't think of that

but this means that she would see the ads but not being able to click? I don't get it. They should had just disappeared, no? Or was she complaining that she wasn't seeing the ads?
ok, I think I had missed this crucial difference in the business model lol
interesting. thanks for sharing!
in the 90s there was no technology to have an overlay of an ad following you while you scroll and when you close it a new one appears more aggressively. Or to let you start reading an article and then suddenly appear in your face not allowing you to continue. Yes, there was the worse situation that they would open a whole new window, but browsers started restricting it quite early
