Bullshit, there are other, better browsers who do not intentionally break basic security features like ad blocking. Switch to Firefox and Ublock Origin or any of the many forks it has.
If you are using Chrome, Brave, or similar, you should stop using it and switch to something that isn't shit. Ads are a major attack vector for malware and scams. If you are not blocking them already , you need to start immediately!
Brave has a built-in ad blocker based on uBlock. There are lots of reasons people don’t recommend Brave, but the lack of an ad blocker isn’t one of them.
I never said that was the reason, Brave sucks because of shit like AI, trying to sneak in redirects that send money to the devs, charging to get rid of unwanted features, etc.
I wish people would start suggesting adnauseam. It’s basically ublock, but also silently clicks every link in the page tj poison the data. I have been using it for ages.
I've been using it for years too. Can recommend.
