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.

I've been jumpscared by hentai ads when I accidentally followed a pirating link to safari rather than firefox. Movie streaming sites are some of the worst offenders.

this is the #1 reason, #2 being the initial reason I started using adblockers in 2010, ads with audio

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.
