    I doubt most people use an adblocker.

    Anyone who's aware of these issues or cares about them really should have been smart enough to switch to Firefox a long time ago.

        DuckDuckGo is also so much better for search results since Google made theirs shit.

        I can find websites pretty easy on DuckDuckGo which just don't exist on Google.

        damn google has really gotten shit then. I used to avoid duckduckgo because of how much better google was.

          Google used to be like "we have found 10 quadrillion websites with your term" and you could click page 173 and it would give you the list for as many times as you wanted to click

          Then they went to giving you several pages but if you clicked past page two they would be like hahaha psych there are actually only two pages of results for "starcraft two newbie tips"

          Now I'll search for specific phrases I know I read somewhere and I'll get like, three god damn results.

          Really? On the entire internet? Three results?

          It's just disrespectful and insulting

      Which makes this even more annoying. Like you have good chunk of the world using your browser with ads, but you still want even more and are still taking these types of scummy actions.

        I think they're taking aim at people who use an adblocker because it's simple and won't bother if they make it harder than installing an extension.
