Like you're on a new device or borrowing a computer, and you open a webpage - and literally every website blankets your screen with ads every-which-way and all kinds of permutations of springing up to try and get you to accidentally click on something. The actual news article or whatever is just an afterthought.

Literally - how the fuck do people use the internet without an adblocker.

      Shockingly, if you use it on Android, it's ridiculously easy, at least for me.... say I open a stream and "ad 1 of 2" shows up, I drag the stream down to the corner, then swipe it away. Reopen the stream (another ad comes up), put it in the corner, swipe it away. Open stream for the third time, it's the actual stream.
