- Get Firefox
- Get uBlock Origin: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/
Step 1 is critical because ad blockers on Chrome (for obvious reasons) have some limitations. Even the developer of uBlock origin recommends Firefox: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/uBlock-Origin-works-best-on-Firefox
Alternatively. Get Adnausem
It is built on top of ublock origin and will “click” on the adverts behind the scenes and make advertisers think you like a product messing with your advertising profile.
It also has a nice AdVault so you can see what advertisers are trying to push onto you.
Even better: get Librewolf with uBO pre-installed!
Just get uBlock Origin instead. Years ago I made the switch and never looked back!
Adblock Plus sold themselves out so fucking bad lmao
Yeah, it was obvious when the original dev sold out, but I could never be seen in public again at this point. It’s a disgrace. “hey look guys, it’s the one who saved the internet and then sold their dignity because they are a massive pussy!” every second of every day has to be brutal. That check could never be enough for that.
You shouldn’t be using AdblockPlus anyways…what is wrong with you?
Why the fuck are people still using adblock? They did a similar thing many years ago already, which is when ublock properly took off.
Because people don’t know

Geez, just use uBlock Origin
The most obvious and predictable answer, yet the correct one. There is zero reason not to use uBlock Origin!!
To be honest everyone should think of their adblock developers, support uBlock Origin existance

absolute chad holy fuck.
If you’re going to spend €40, you might as well get a Raspberry Pi and setup a PiHole. You cam also run your own Mastodon server and Lemmy instance on it if you set them all using Docker.

For sure you should use uBlock, I’m just saying that for the money a Pi is better than AdBlock Plus.
Tha’s a nice adblawck ya got there. Be a shame if… it suddenly stopped working, doncha think?
This is what I call the internets healthcare insurance scam. If you can’t get the reference look at Americas healthcare insurance system and identify the reason it’s all a scam(over inflation to the point that it only works with insurance/cut % off). This is a system that is designed where now both parties can benefit from a payment plan. I pay you to let my blocker block you but they have to pay a premium and you get a cut from it. It’s called a business deal and as an adblocker them making deals with advertisers to make it easier or work better is the scummiest shit ever. That’s why if you have to pay premium for better adblocking it’s because it’s most likely backdoor deals that can be compared to healthcare insurance and hospitals in America.
ublock origin + control D/NextDNS are much better
