I remember, like 15 years ago, you used to have to install a whole bunch of different extensions to filter them all out. Now it’s one extension, and it pretty much comes perfectly configured right out of the box. You don’t even need to fiddle with it.

And I think it’s a same extension for every browser

I’ve practically forgotten that ads exist to the point that, on the very, very rare occasion, I ever encounter one, I react like a vampire encountering sunlight

    Anything chromium (well manafest V3) needs uBlock Origin lite, otherwise it is just UBO

    Those are all just WebKit-based browsers, which is Safari, too. UBlock Origin Lite works just as well though.

    Yes, interesting. I see that it got forked a few years back into something called Blink. I didn’t realize that.

    15 years ago when I aww my first ad, I got Adblock Plus and that was it. Then I eventually moved to uBlock Origin, as you do. ABP was there from day one with YouTube ads. I was there. I seent it.

    Adblock plus was pretty good, but it could leak from time to time with YouTube ads. Sometimes needed a little extra to make sure you got everything on YouTube.
