And it’s always the same, AI-slop looking ad. I don’t even know if I have sleep apnea, I just snore really loud sometimes cuz of my sinus issues.
This really is the correct answer. I also beg you to install Ublock origin.
I too choose this guy’s uBlock Origin.
And ghostery if you want to avoid the cookie popups (auto denies).
Ghostery was involved in some weird info-selling controversy, weren’t they?
Edit: I looked it up. Yup, they were selling info about the trackers they blocked to the tracking companies they were blocking. So those companies could then figure out how Ghostery was blocking them, and circumvent it.
Apparently after that, they had another controversy where they started inserting ads to show to their users. Somehow that feels even worse, because the users who had it installed were trying to avoid things exactly like that.
Ouch! Any replacement you would recommend?
Consent-O-Matic is great; essential, in my opinion! Along with uBO, they are the 2 extensions I never use a browser without. (Except when forced to use Edge for some tasks, at work)
You use Google Chrome don’t you?
I use chrome and there’s working adblockers (ublock origin lite works fine).
I would highly, highly recommend a fork with full UBO, like: https://helium.computer/
TBH I still cannot believe there are people using the internet without ad block in 2026
I put it back on and it’s working, thanks for reminding me
Dont worry, I will always be the snarky asshole who talks down to people for not being like me any chance I get
Download the brave bowser.
No more ads
Only the ones from brave. Bonus: crypto bs
You can just not use their crypto?
You can also just not look at the ad.
You could just let people make their own decisions without being a giant cunt about it?
We want people to make their own INFORMED decisions about things. Therefore we let them know that brave browser is run by yucky crypto bros.
Or, y’know, any better browser, a firefox derivative maybe even, or just, a different chromium derivative, that isn’t a slop machine run by a creep. Seriously, why the heck do people keep recommending brave?
Brave browser is poor man’s attempt at firefox, motivated by homophobia (literally)
Holy fucking shit. Are you fuckign losers still on this?
Go back your AI powered, RAM sucking, poor rendering, developer abandoning pile of shit and shut the fuck up.
Bruh I toggled off literally all existing and future AI features with a single toggle on FF, they still need to be opted out one by one on Brave 😭
Sorry bro - I got a little worked up in my work stress. You didn’t deserve my fuck ass response.
