I installed some sort of ad blocker since I was in like middle school, perhaps earlier, and was always perplexed when my teachers didn't despite having to use youtube often for class lol
Honestly, I'm starting to want to work for IT in schools now so I can pre-install firefox with ublock for the whole system because it seems like everyone only knows google chrome and that's just sad
Ghostery sells information about the data being blocked back to the advertisers. Not sure if there's a more secure fork out there since it's open source, but beset to just avoid it. I use uBlock + Privacy Badger, but many say PB is unnecessary if you're already using UB
Taking it one step further, you can also add noscript, although that could be more trouble than it's worth. It's interesting to see what various sites are running though (usually google stuff, even on government sites).
I always forget some people don't have adverts blocked and every time this happens I wonder why they hate themselves

Firefox gang rise up!
Yeah I use firefox with ublock and ghostery for personal stuff and Edge for University stuff because the school site messes up with blockers, lame.
:haram:
Is that one bad? What one do you recommend?

Oh shit, thanks for the heads up.
It's fucked that they can do that without telling people.

I have the same fantasy, but I would put everyone on Linux too just for giggles.
