What’s your preferred adblocker?

[–] notabot@piefed.social 36 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Ublock origin does a pretty solid job, I'm always mildly horrified when I have to use a browser without it. Is that really what other people see when they browse the web?

[–] masta_chief@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago

Yes. Average people don't know what an adblocker is or even that there are different browsers. Let alone know how to install an extension. We're fucked

This is basically the definition of throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

I don't understand how this serves the purpose of ad blocking.

Ads won't load if browser literally can't load em.

Dillo is not a daily driver...but it is occasionally fun to pilot. Breaks on a lot of sites tho...but god damn is it a nice little browser.

uBlock Origin is the gold standard, but you need something that supports the full version. Plain Chrome (and most forks) are not good enough.

Firefox, Helium, and/or Orion would be my top picks.
