    geordi-no AdBlock, the software where other advertisers pay to have their ads whitelisted

    geordi-yes uBlock Origin, which explicitly condemns "acceptable ads" in its manifesto

      If your software doesn't have a manifesto, what are you even doing?

      better: ad nauseam, which might as well just say "advertisers go to hell" in its manifesto, and explicitly exists to sabotage advertisers' data: https://adnauseam.io/

      get trackmenot, from the same team, while you're at it: https://www.trackmenot.io/

        Used to use this, but there are some sites where it doesn't work and uBO does.

      YES, please listen to the nerd.

      Get Firefox and uBlock Origin on every device. You will never see an ad again.

      Windows Linux and Android.

      That's not a better ad blocker. That's the best ad blocker. Uncritical support for uBlock Origin in its protracted people's war against YouTube's ad delivery measures.

    I was gonna comment to explain why you should use UBlock origins instead, but I see the people have already spoken so I'll just confirm.

    I couldn't test it but this Ublockorigin filter I wrote might work.
