    I always forget how many intrusive ads are on the internet. One time I shared a link to one of my family members and they almost got a virus because of a pop-up ad. The web is actually unusable without uBlock Origin.

      I shared a link from a movie streaming site not knowing that without uBlock Origin the page was covered in nearly pornographic mobile game ads.

      ublock origin is the best! I currently use it to filter out all twitter blue users :)

      uBlock is terrible, use brave browser. I cant even use the internet with ublock or adblock plugins, the amount that leaks through is annoying AF.

        uBlock Origin is not uBlock - uBlock was bought by some company that turned it to shit like many adblockers before it.

        uBlock Origin is, IIRC, the open source superior product.
