frustrated by ads that feel irrelevant

What?

Do they think we have a friend-or-foe system that only shoots down advertisements from adversaries?

An ad is an ad, and should be terminated on sight.

    I used to prefer personalized ads over the insanity that was 90-00s "random" ads experience. But, since ads became a risk vector, I agree with a block by default approach, and I'll find alternate ways to support sites I visit frequently rather than allowlist ads.
