    Tbh I’m not sick of ads. I’m sick of video ads. More and more ublock doesn’t block video ads but blocks all else. I don’t mind anything but video ads over my videos and popup ads.

      Both (all) ads are bad though. I would rather have none of them while surfing the web. NextDNS and uBlock has been such a friend over the years for me regarding that 🥰

          Advertisement directly injected into the video stream (such as Twitch/Netflix) can be harder to block for any current adblockers

            Makes sense and ironically it’s the only one which bothers me. I keep getting ads to join the police and buy a car. Practically nothing else. I see ads because I don’t have the money to buy tier without ads. How can I afford a car in their opinion? I don’t even speak the local language, how may I join the police? I wish trackers actually gave you relevant ads. They spy on you for no customer related reason. I only like sidebar ads reminding me of clothes I’ve browsed because sometimes I change my mind.
